Make no mistake – before cable – I believed PBS was the best the NY area TV ad to offer.

And I always thought is was just stupid when tax code changes made it difficult for major Corporations to continue their support of the Arts, PBS, Museums and all the other worthwhile institutions that have suffered from the greed for the power of the purse by legislators at all levels.

And yes, it may well be true that PBS represents less than .00014 of the US Budget,

Still my daddy always like to quote founder Ben Franklin
“Watch the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves”

We really need to start with the small stuff, I don’t know maybe a law that only allows vacations paid for with tax dollars must be spent within the US.

Maybe if there were fewer to trips to Spain, Africa, Mexico, and apparently soon Brazil or Venzuela and of course – the cost fundraising travel – I would support moving those “savings” to PBS appropriations.

Just my opinion

I willl NEVER understand people who call me up, complaining because the price SOMEONE else is charging too high, or their Postage is too high, so they are not going to order from me. Maybe I should stop answering the phone, but then I would not get to talk to so many nice people.

Or who call me up to find out if I know anyone who charges less than I do for a particular item.

Or a manufacturer who says because someone who did not order merchandise before their price increase in January and I did so can offer these at a lower price, should raise my price to be fair. FAIR, what about FAIR to my customers. All this of after years of promoting this product both because it is great AND made in the USA.

Okay I fell better, back to helping all the people who call, write and order in the most pleasant of ways.

Thank God TOMORROW is Friday

I think I need to take off for the week and find something to do that involves my turn to

Enjoy The Making
