THE SUCCESS OF MOST ANY BUSINESS FALLS SIMPLY ON REPUTATION- AND THO I THINK SDP DESERVES TEH FINEST REPUTATION AND I STRIVE TO KEEP IT THAt way.... .... I FEEL COMPELLED TO HELP WHERE I THINK A NEGATIVE REP[UTATION IS UNWARENTED....--
LIKE MY FRIEND WHO STRUGGLES TO KEEP ALIVE HIS GAS STATION/ITALIAN/ INDIAN RESTAURANT-- WHENEVER I MENTION INDIAN FOOD- THERE IS ONE IN THE GROUP "OH I COULD NEVER EAT THERE IT IS TOO HOT"----- THAT POOR REPUTATION IS UNWARRANTED - AND HURTS HIS BUSINESS-----IT IS POSSIBEL TO ASK FOR MEALS TO BE MILD--- MEDIUM--- OR HOT - IN MY case iN point...MILD----- THERE IS A FAMILY STAYING IN THE GUEST HOUSE AND I HAD BROUGHT HOME A SUPPLY OF INDIAN FOOD-( TO BE AUGMENTED BY A BBQ CHICKEN AND MASHED POTS.) THEY WERE HAPPILY EATING TH E INDIAN FOOD- THE HUSBAND WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR IT WAS INDIAN... BECAUSE HE HAD HEARD......BLAH BLAH BLAH....
MANY OF TEH INDIAN SPICES ARE LOVELY-- AND NOT MOUTH BURNERS AS THE REPUTATION WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE... IT IS A HUGE DIVERSION FROM ITALIAN... NAMELY PIZZA-- EVEN THO MY FRIEND HAS TRIED TO DEVELOPE AN INDIAN SPICED PIZZA WITHOUT ALOT OF SUCCESS ( AT LEAST WITH OUR BUNCH.)
THERE IS ONE WAY OUT IF YOU EVER END UP WITH SOMETHING TOO HOT FOR COMFORT-- YOU CAN ALWAYS ASK FOR A DISH OF YOGURT AND MIX THAT IN IF YOU END UP ORDERING SOMETHING "TOO HOT" --IT CUTS THE HEAT PRETTY WELL... BUT MOST RESTAURANTS ARE AWARE OF TEH "TOO HOT" REPUTATION - AND TRY AND DEAL..
THAT REPUTATION... LIKE A FACEBOOK REPUTATION --- OF "I HEARD THAT...." IS A TOUGH ONE TO BATTLE..
IN AN EFFORT TO KEEP HIM IN BUSINESS, -- WE HAVE PLACED 2 DOGS WITHIN A MILE OF HIS PLACE...-- ONE BEING SIR RICHARD...--- SO I SUGGESTED THAT THEY TRY-- AND HE WAS THRILLED TO TELL ME ONE OF TEH "DOG PEOPLE" HAD ORDERED OVER $100 OF FOOD FOR A PARTY-- ? HOW DID THEY CONNECT?? HIS POKER CHIP WAS ON TOP OF HIS CASH REGISTER- AND THEY NOTICED IT...
IT IS LIKE THE ITALIAN PIZZA MAKERS HAVE A VENDETTA OUT FOR THE POOR INDIAN NAAN MAKER- AND PROMOTE THE FEAR OF "TOO HOT"- THERE IS GREAT FINANCIAL ADVANTAGE TO PROMOTING THE FEAR OF TEH COMPETITION'S PRODUCT...
NOW EVERYONE GO OUT AND TRY MILD AT AN INDIAN RESTAURANT.
****
NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS... WE ARE STARTING TO GET SPIRIT STICKS--- FOR THOSE NEW COMMMERS.... IF YOU CAN NOT COME TO DOG FEST, BUT WISH YOU COULD, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO SEND A SPIRIT STICK WHICH WE WILL DISPLAY AT DOG FEST AND TEHN BURN IN A CEREMONIAL FIRE SO THE SMOKE MAY WAFT SKYWARD AND YOUR SPIRIT REMAIN AT SDP... ? WHACKO??? RIGHT !! WHY NOT??
... WHAT IS A SPIRIT STICK???? IT IS A PICTURE/ SAYING/OBJECT... ATTACHED TO A PAINT STIRRER--( OR NOT ATTCHED TO A PAINT STIRRER BY YOU AND WE WILL ATTACH IT) YOU SEND THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND WE COLLECT... AND EVENTUALLUY DISPLAY IN TEH NURSERY CAMERA AREA...

IT MIGHT NOT HURT FOR ALL OF YOU TO PRAY THAT THE NESXT 5 GAZILLION DOLLAR POWERBALL WINNER BE A CAMERA PERSON WHO WOULD CONTINUE TO ENSURE THAT OUR CHICKEN BRICKS GET SOLD OUT ... FOR YEARS AHEAD,
