Tdeck,
While I've not joined you and the folks on this journey of yours, I've got to tell you I find you to be absolutely brilliant! Your guts factor has me fascinated, always---too. I read every post here daily, by the way.
I wish you and everybody else the very best.
Retail is not my bailiwick, especially when it involves the ladies' sector. Were it not for this, alone, I'd be camping out with you.
Most definitely I wish you all the very best for I know this moment in time is the crucial flex-point where fortunes will be swallowed up or they'll hugely multiply.
Once logic has done its magic, it's pretty much up to raw guts as in standing up to and/or against prevailing thinking to make lasting sense that may save the day.
Your backbone is truly awesome.
