Well here goes.....pardon my first time user mistakes..... I just wanted to thank you for your call and the support in knowing we aren't in it alone. It makes it worth wild when you know good people are willing to stand up for the right thing even if you have to stand alone sometimes, but, I know we aren't alone thanks to the phone calls this has generated. I, along with Buford Florist, Duluth Flower shop, Marrietta, Dunwoody, Rome, the list goes on and on, do appreciate your efforts before us. We are learning more and more about what these people can do to our industry, thru you and your efforts and others mistakes and successes, fighting this issue, we hope to succeed! I will come back and update here as often as I can hopefully with good news.my curiosity was peaked with Marks call about this site. I will pass it along to others. I hope you all have a great day and prosper always, you have surely made mine!

Welcome to our little group (or growing group I should say) Glad to have you aboard. Take some time, read various threads (there is much to read) and post often.
Welcome Snellville! We are familiar with many of the shops in your post as our shop, which we have since sold, was in Marietta as well. The article was great!
Hope you guys are staying dry over there....
