Happy Holidays to you also 'iknowaguy':)
March 6, 2012:)
Happy Holidays to you also "mid".
March 6, 2012:)
People have wondered where I have been and how to get in touch with me concerning ETNL. I give Basser the authority to pass on my email or phone # to anyone interested. I am in a "free" status with IHub presently, thus the people looking for responses via PM are not possible.
ETNL?? I still hold multiple millions of shares for myself and my children. I update myself weekly on this board, and continue to be updated on ETNL's status in the funerary business with my contacts around the country. I was disappointed I could not make the NFDA in New Orleans due to a major conflict at my church and our pastor leaving after 15 years of service.
I hope this gets posted, at least long enough so Basser can get my permission to pass my info. on to interested parties.
You can be rest assured that I have been enjoying the "good life" to the best of my ability since we last talked. Sam Summer never tasted better this year:)
Until we meet again, I will let you take care of the ETNL drama as usual.
Yours Always in ETNL Faith,
Heppie:)
I will admit to this mid:)
You haven't disappointed me mid. We'll talk on March 6, 2012:)
You've got "HRC", "MATW", and now the new kid on the block "ETNL":)
March 6, 2012?? Should I "upgrade" the ETNL date?? Waiting is supposed to make the Heart Grow Fonder:)
Still 6-12 inches of ice on the lake 'al44'. 90 mile an hour winds last Thursday night. The Camp is still standing!!
ETNL/New Orleans in October. Looks like the celebration in New Orleans will never stop!!
If there would be anytime to see EI's products up close and personal, I can't think of a better venue to spend a few days with a road trip!!
Could be a tough year to "keep those feet on the ground":)
Time to ORDER tickets for New Orleans in October:)
March 6, 2012 looking better every day:)
Doesn't make any sense to me NH to complain about these hibernation years. My money has been invested in ETNL and is a long term play. I have "set it, and forgotten about it. Just a very small % of my investment portfolio. Still pay the $89.95 for the Entertainment/Drama factor of this board and others:)
You don't have to wait at all NH. It's still a penny/OTCBB stock that brings with it many risks. Take your penny's on the dollars worth of ETNL off the table if it makes you sleep better at night.
Life is very good to me at this time of my Life NH. ETNL is not an issue!!:)
I'm still well over two years away Brendan from my moment of truth for ETNL. This is a very long term play for me.
March 6, 2012:)
May be time to move on Brendan. Be happy to buy whatever shares you have left:)
3 years in the funeral industry?? Still just a twinkle in my eyes concerning this investment.
Patience is a virtue with this one Brendan.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
ETNL Packages upside down??
I'd get fired if I didn't DELIVER all of them!!:)
NO RETURNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Should I be worried??
March 6, 2012:)
Good Late Evening Bee!!:)
HERE!!:)
LFM wanted me to pass this on. He's out of posts for today:)

I'm a little taken back by the fact that I was the only "Investor" on this board that attended the NFDA in Boston:)
Seeing is Believing?? Sure you can "bury" me on this one, but it is True.
If you haven't ever gone to one of these NFDA's, you should.
Up close and personal?? Being able to see what is out there is very important if you "really" want to get the full picture of how EI stacks up against the competition.(if there indeed is any with their products)
Most of the Caskets and Urns in this market have not changed.
LOC, Game Changer, New Licenses?? I'm not going anywhere:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Thanks for the "clarification" 'drmvz'.
Could be a "long wait" for the burial:)
LC,
I was at the NFDA in Boston doing my DD on the funerary industry and EI in general.
No twitee's or PR's necessary for me:)
EI and their products are positioned to corner a huge market in the business. It's all about choices and Personalization LC, and that's what EI's products will contribute:)
'drmvz',
Do you know something I don't about the revs from "what day??"(last show) that almost covered all expenses?? Where were you lurking in Orlando??
Don't know who "officially" was on the Convention floor in Boston from EI Corporate, but understand that Donna was there for sure. You'll need to get that info. from EI, and why Clint was not there. I'm sure they will have a legitimate reason. Your opinion on this issue is noted.
Nick, Donna, and David were in Orlando from EI Corporate along with the asapr team of Robbie, Clay, and Jenni. Waterloo was represented with Tony, Rick, Dean, and Gail.
As far as the Boston show and your -PERIOD!! Not making any excuses for Clint and his bs. Could we wait for an Investors Update or reasonable facsimile before we bury him??
RJ,
Nice find on the CLC Caskets:)
I found it very interesting at the NFDA in Boston, the amount of "no shows" from their attendance in Orlando. I think it is just the nature of the animal, and yes, it most definitely comes down to the geographical locations and the huge amounts of $$ that can be required to get a Casket to an NFDA.
Batesville, Aurora, the big 2!! But, where was YORK this year in Boston?? A No Show:)
I'm "not" downplaying the "no show" of a Red Sox Casket. It should have been there, but wasn't, and life goes on as we learn from our mistakes.
This post is a very good one. I've only "saved" a few, but this is one of them:)
It is all about working capital, the LOC, and how it is utilized. There's plenty of EI's product out there to market right now. EI is alive and kicking as we speak. We are still on the ground floor:)
It's obvious that you are a 'newbeginner' when it comes to what EI has with Manufacturer's and Distributors to display.
Look at Waterloo's website for product.
Look at Christy Vault Company for product.
I would hope that my March 6.2012 deadline comes to fruition sooner than later also Brendan:)
Alot of people Brendan have PM'd me regarding "why" I thought the MLB and CLC caskets were not show cased bythe distributors at the NFDA in Boston.
"A huge blunder not to have at least 1 RedSox "Casket" at the NFDA??"
IMHO, EI Corporate and the Distributors were not on the same page in their Communication. Should EI Corporate "explain" the situation in Boston?? I would like to know:)
I'm not sure about the CLC products being available from local distributors to have at the Convention, but I am sure that EI's MLB Caskets could have been made available. How do I know this?? Because I asked:)
I am very Positive on the future of EI and its funerary products Brendan.
I look forward to EI's next move involving the LOC, Game Changer, etc...
I look forward to ETNL's pps moving upward.
I still continue, and have not sold one share of my many Millions that I have invested in ETNL.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
I'm sorry 'Brendan',but I didn't go to the NFDA in Boston just for my Health!!
"Not one MLB or CLC product whatsoever??"
Let's all put this one to "rest" once and for all, please??
Wilbert booth- (1) MLB White Sox Urn.
Church and Chapel booth- (1) RED SOX MLB Urn.
Cherokee Child Caskets booth- Full Line of the "NEW" Eternal Image PRECIOUS MOMENTS Caskets. They were absolutely Beautiful.
OK, everyone on this??
:)
I agree with you Basser1:)
Good post 'Penman81'.
I feel your "pain", as I do, and I'm sure a multitude of others do, on the fact that the MLB and CLC Caskets were not showcased by the distributors in Boston. Business 101?? Probably pretty close:)
I'm just the "messenger" here folks. I was there at the NFDA in Boston!! I'm just delivering you the info., and it is OBVIOUS that you will all do with it what you may:)
What I will say, IMHO, is that Eternal Image "still" has Licensed MLB Urns and Caskets for sale. If anyone out there in the world wants one, EI will get a piece of the action.
What did I see, IMHO, at the Convention?? Personalization, Personalization, and more Personalization!! It's everywhere, and it just would not stop!!
Aside from the Batesville Salespeople who strut around the convention like they OWN the place, everyone out there is busting their butts off to sell their own little piece of the industry.
Precious Moments is a quality product and a real winner in this market. The folks at Cherokee are very high on the products, and THEY ARE SELLING!!
LOC, Gamechanger, Marketing 'Penman81'?? All of the above and a lot of it!!
For the past, a lot of it has been "ugly", and no positive spin from this Investor presently:)
March 6, 2012 and beyond!! I am in this one for the Long Haul, and am forever Faithful that things can be turned around, and the Quality Products that EI has a stronghold on in the funerary Industry can be converted into a much higher pps than the current one for ETNL!!
Very much still long and strong with this one 'Penman81'.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
Couldn't agree with you more 'socalgeo'. The "sarcasm" seems to be the word of the day:)
EI is still selling MLB Caskets!!
Nicholas Pirro at Triguard told me of a neat story of how a Cleveland Indians loved one was featured at the funeral in a MLB Casket. FD had all of the ushers decked out in baseball garb, and everyone at the funeral wore baseball caps. Take Me Out To the Ball Game was the featured song:)
LC,
The MLB and CLC "caskets" were not on display at the NFDA.
Red Sox MLB urn at Church and Chapel. White Sox MLB urn and the Wilbert booth. Full line of Precious moments caskets at the Cherokee Child Casket booth.
Basser and all on this board,
If you look up "EI Faithful" in the dictionary, you will find my picture right there beside it.
I invested in ETIM a couple of years ago for the "concept" of the Final Frontier and how I see the funerary industry.
Beside my health issues the past 6 months, and my "summer sabbatical", one of the other reasons that I have not posted on this board is the fact that I feel a lot of post have been counter-productive, and beyond redundancy:)
March 6, 2012?? Is "still" where my head is at.
I hesitated to post at times because I felt it would also effect the pps of ETNL, because even from this board I feel with small volume, that people that own faithful shares of ETNL would be misled. I hope this last statement makes a little sense:)
Why would I on a routine basis negatively criticize the stock if I still own shares?? In my investment experience, I would just get out!!:)
Just a "few" thoughts from Heppie on this Fall morning. I will have more for you later:)
EI is in the Casket and Urn business, and has products that no one else does. Do I think they are selling a ton of these?? NO. Do I think they can? YES.
3Q sales?? Don't even think that they will be extremely postive, because they won't!! Sell your shares now if that is what you are looking for, PLEASE!! And please be done with it. No need to torment yourself any more over this tiny little penny stock.
If you haven't got out by now, it is probably too late for you, but please, let's keep the conversations "real", and look to that "concept" of personalization and Licensing that I think most of us invested in this company for:)
This Rambling man has to go out and DELIVER the mail NH!!:)
I'm a straight shooter people, and I hope you know this.
Was I disappointed with the NFDA in Boston with the lack of exposure with EI not having Caskets displayed?? VERY!!
Was I disapponted that EI did not have (1) Red Sox MLB casket on Display?? VERY!!
Was I disappointed that EI did not have the BC Eagle's Casket on display like I had hammered into Nick for the past year to have in Boston?? VERY!!
Is this all Doom and Gloom Heppie?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!:)
LOC and MARKETING in the purest sense of the word is what has to be done.
It "is" all about Sales Mid, but it is not going to happen as quickly as we would have liked:) I feel the company still hasw a chance in this funerary business, because it is "still" ALL about personalization, and that's what the customer wants. the market is there and is HUGE, and needs to be tapped!! EI can do that.
Do things have to be shaken up at EI Corporate for our investment in ETNL to flourish?? ABSOLUTELY!!!!:)
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
David DeAvila was the only person that I saw at the NFDA in Boston. As I mentioned before he is "still" serving our country and was not attending as an EI representative.
I talked to Nick from the convention floor and he mentioned that Donna had been in Boston earlier in the week. Nick was supposed to come to Boston Tuesday evening/Wednesday for the NFDA, but I don't know if that actually happened. Tony Fazio, I was told was there.
Clint was not there.
EI's products were featured at the Wilbert booth, Church and Chapel booth and at Cherokee Child Caskets booth only.
Hope this helps LC.
Yours Always in Eternal Faith,
Heppie:)
MLB Caskets were not at the show.
CLC Caskets were not at the show.
Straight from the Cherokee Child Casket brochure in reference to
Precious Moments"R"Medallions
EI's logo(Eternal Image TM) is featured at the bottom of the page with the words-
Precious Moments, Inc. trademarks & copyrights are used with permission of Precious Moments, Inc./ETERNAL IMAGE PM 2009
Hope you enjoyed the Pic's folks. Yours Always in Eternal Faith, "Heppie":)
And guess who I ran into walking the NFDA floor in Boston?? Just as a "guest" though, as he still is doing us proud serving our country. But!! - David DeAvila is "Back from Iraq"!! Welcome home David!!
