Hello my Friends,

I moved this from the Most Valued Vendor's forum. I have mentioned that my retirement is coming up, so here's the notice.

Many have asked my why I'm shutting down and the simple truth is that there are three. They are 1. The economy. I used to sell much more than I do now and that slowed, when the 2. forum filled up with sellers, but the economy has brought me to an average of one order per week. 3. My back has cut down my computer time, as well as my blank cutting ability.

So--- I'll be spending my time putting into practice, some of the things I learned here, rather than checking my e-mail 40 times per day, like I used to do. You all have been great and I hope to stay in touch and be able to post more, about what I'm doing.

Some of you e-mailed me about my health and I'm happy to let you know that I've come down from 415 pounds, to 362 (so far). I'm working out 3 times per week, so I've reclaimed about 10 pounds of muscle, for a loss of about 63 pounds of fat. My back is slow to recover, but my knee is getting better. I'm also dealing with severe arthritis in both thumbs, but that's minor, compared to my back. Feel free to contact me (I much prefer e-mail to message). Also, when I do stop posting my price list, you can always send me an e-mail to request blanks. It may be longer before I answer your e-mail, but not too long.

There's a nice discount on my price list right now, here it is: http://www.penturners.org/forum/showthread.php?t=53986

A lot of you have touched my life here and I appreciate you for that. Keep on turning!

Thanks,
BigRob

Big Rob,

Congrats on your weight loss. Keep it up.

Enjoy the extra turning time you will have now.
 
Thanks Mark and Mark,
You'd think that having lots of difficulty moving around at 415 pounds would be enough incentive, but it wasn't. I was losing precious time with my wife, walking around stores, beaches craft shows. I'd love to get down to 250, but just hitting 275 again would be awesome.

I'll be around.
Rob
