There are other $$ leaks in this boat that are just to numerous to go into. They come like the plagues in the bible. On and on and on. (flatware, glassware, pots and pans, uniforms, mountains of work towels, aprons, flower arrangements, leaks in things that won't leak when the plumber is there, fuses that refuse to blow till the electrician leaves <and has to come back>, carpenters that try to get artistic when you just want some hammer and saw work done.
We sell about a million dollars worth of food a year. I always seem to have about, a hundred dollars in my pocket – making me 'a hunnerd dollar millionaire'!!
(I saved up that hunnerd bucks that I occasionally get and got a $1000. truck – it's the least I could do for myself and about all I could afford) - - picture attached.
