Entrepreneur or Entrepoorneur

Oldest construction son walked in the door with a current bridal magazine... just in time for the weekend sale. As Simmy browsed through the pages she spotted a piece of vintage fabric she had just purchased last month. Simmy often spotted her purchases on television shows and in magazines. It had become natural and she wasn't always surprised anymore.
After all, most people didn't really know or think too much about these things but... Shh, don't tell everyone... but, maybe just a few people should know that... most things come out of factories and are distributed around the globe, sometimes with a fresh moniker to fool you a bit so that, as Carolina had so recently said, "I have a friend who won't buy anything unless it has a huge price tag on it! She only feels she has purchased something valuable if it is very expensive!"
Simmy had been thinking about this statement and, firstly, that woman should come to her sale. Yes sir! Simmy would have many items she could buy... like the trees in the previous blog.
But seriously folks, oldest construction son was finding out about life in a interesting little way... he was shopping for pots and pans because he was planning on moving out soon and setting up his own little pad.
So, Sam had insider information... and you thought only the Wall Street people had that... Nope!
The men who load and unload your freight every day have all the insider information.
Why? You ask!
Well, they see where the freight comes from and where it goes... kind of demystifies the retail industry a bit.
So, if this entrepoorneur is working towards entrepreneur... the only thing standing in my way is an accountant that took too much of my loss last year... Shame on them!... taking advantage of the little girl/ guy!
Don't worry! I can fire my accountant! They haven't supported me anyway!
And so, to end with a few quotes from the movie 'Defiance' which I watched just this weekend,...

Shimon
'How about carpenters? Any boot makers? Seamstresses?'

Arrival #1
'I am an accountant.'

Silence and then Shimon says in a deadpan and dismissive voice...
'That should come in handy. Next...'
