Hi From Mississippi

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. We started out business in the fall of 2007. Was supposed to be part time for both hubby and myself then in December low and behold I lost my job because the company closed down. I was not having any luck finding a new one quickly so Hubby suggested to try the home business full time. It was slow and I did a lot of cold calling ( got a great deduction on taxes because I kept a mileage log). In December of 2008 Steve's company did another layoff and he was eligable for retirement so he took it and ran. I ended up taking my Social Security early and retired. Since then we have worked the business together. It is slowly growing and has taken time to build a small customer base. Our company has ended up being just what we wanted....Something to do in retirement to keep us busy. Hopefully soon it will supplement our retirement income. We are having fun with it and meeting new people in our community. I am glad to have this forum available to us. Don't get me wrong PAP is great to have PAPtech etc and I will still use it a lot as well as the Big Orange. After we are the orange family.
