Sometimes it doesn't take that much...thank you GFY
 

The past 4 years have been total shit for me. I lost my mother, my daughter, my father had cancer and has been hospitalized 5 times and I have lost at least 1-1/2 years work taking care of him.

While this was all going on 2 partnerships crashed due to them being unable to deliver what was promised, in one cases 2 years late and the products still does not work.

The Smoky Mountains are on fire which has wiped my main mainstream business off the map with all of my largest customers out of business now for years until they rebuild. A few small ones will pay a few bucks but not enough to make a difference. I am not even talking about how many friends have been wiped out as well.

I am now looking at launching another mainstream business in a completely different industry but of course it will take a while to get that going.

With all that shit going on and all the gloom and doom a few months ago, I reached out here at GFY and found a dependable designer to do some small adult projects, and I can not rave enough at how great every job given has been done right with great communication. It is a pleasure to be treated the way I treat my customers.

Life has been a dark tunnel and this has been the only light for a while.

Milk Shake...you rock!

Great news you found someone here to help grow your business! :thumbsup

Cant tell you how many times I danced to that in the clubs when it came out and sang along without listening to the words...thanks.

Bladewire I am so thankful.

always sun comes after the rain

Nice to see a positive post from a good business transaction!

Very sorry to hear about your tough times. Can't even begin to imagine. Today may be gloomy, but tomorrow is a brand-new day.

sorry to hear you've had troubles & issues Suesheboy, sometimes, you just have to see around the corner or over the mountain...

glad things are on the up for you :thumbsup

Damn, what happened?

sorry to hear all that bad stuff. i was just talking about getting shake on some stuff. https://gfy.com/business-services/116...sty-logos.html

Milkshake is my guy.

:thumbsup

What doesn't kills us makes us stronger.keep on keeping on!

Great song.

My favorite version, though it's difficult to choose because there are so many great versions:

Damn, sorry to hear about all the bad shit piling on there.

Nice to hear about good business though.

Hang tough man.

Change in medications caused a seize in her sleep. 30 years old but the last 8 years of her life was a living hell.


I get the darkest before the dawn and I have had 3 horrible years back to back before and it led into the best times in my life ever. I was so grateful that I took everything I made in profit from one of my businesses and gave it back to the Smokies since 2005.

Sadly everything I donated has been destroyed in the fire (not able to be insured) and the future administration has vowed to cut funding that would close programs I either worked in (never took a dime in salary) or helped create.

I know I have some great friends who have helped me as best they can deal with all of this. Some of them like my ex girl friend from 30 years ago has helped my father in ways you can not imagine and she continues to do so almost very day.

I hope this is a lesson to all of you to not only know how great Milk Shake is, but what a difference you can make at the most mundane tasks to someone else by just doing the right thing in your day to day life, be it at work or at home.

Never forget the happy times you had, it's very sad that she was taken far too soon.

Really sorry to hear about all this. You've always been a great guy here. You will rebound. Its what we do. Its what people in the Smokies do.

I have a brother not too far from Pigeon Forge, he runs some online mainstream businesses. I can ask him if he needs anything done depending on what you do.

And yes, Milkshake rocks. He is a great guy and excellent designer. So is Loreena.

I bought my first dulcimer in Gatlinburg from a luthier back in 1973. Well, my parents did. Sweet music from a sweet place. Life is not over.

Sorry to hear... Best of luck in the future!

I was thinking of you when I saw the news....terrible fire in such a beautiful place. We have so many good memories in Gatlinburg. Glad to hear you are OK and kicking along.....Never worked with Milkshake but nice to hear a positive. Keep shining man :thumbsup

Stay strong, suesheboy.

I hope 2017 is wayy better for you!

After all of the negativity we see here on GFY this is nice to hear.....

when life in general feels extra-hard good ish like that matters even more, fucking awesome you had such a positive experience

keep your head up kiddo, onwards and upwards =)

Starting reading the OPs post I was fully expecting a sob-story donation post but .... wow! Post of the year instead.

I hope things get so much better for you.

Shit happens in 3. I had my 3 again and getting back.
