Well, Stevie, I am not so foolish as to disclose proprietary information on the net, however,
making you do a little work, I will provide the following:

Under the ownership of HKG LLC ( an LLC consisiting of myself, my wife, and my daughter ), I
own

Curves for Women, Fairfield Central, 1335 Oliver Rd, Fairfield, Ca
Curves for Women, Citrus Heights, Ca, 8071 Greenback Lane, Citrus Heights, Ca.

As a proprietorship, I own:
Rainbow Designs, and I manufacture and market the Chill-Out Scarf. I don't want to give you my
phone number, so you can contact me ( and I am sure that you will use an assumed name ) through
P.). Box 1317, Citrus Heights, Ca 95611-1317

Now, IF you do all your investigation, and find that "Why yes, Bob does own these businesses ",
I am also sure that you will not, repeat, NOT, be man enough to come back on this news group
and acknowledge that I have been telling the truth. In fact, I doubt that you will do any
follow up whatsoever, for it will gall you to the core of your existence to know that I have
not been fabrication any lies. I think it would destroy your ego.

It sounds like you run two second hand dress shops for fat ladies.
You didn't specify--of course--but this is what it sounds like. And
you make a "scarf", which sounds alot like a strip of cheap fabric
that you've had a lame slogan sewed into.

Is this supposed to impress me?

It's a step up from Amway, but only just. The fact that you brag
about running three small-potato shops (I guess each building is a
separate business?) as if you're the second coming of Jack Welch says
it all, far more searingly than I could. You haven't even risen to
the lofty heights of used car dealership yet you boast in your usual
blowhard manner as if you're a titan of industry or something.

How could you read my mind, Boob? Yes, I am indeed "galled to the
core of my existence" upon learning that after a lifetime of striving
you've finally established that scarf-selling enterprise you'd always
dreamed of. My ego is, as you somehow knew with your all-seeing
awareness, completely destroyed. In fact I had to wear a hat when
coming into work this morning.

I hate to make statements like this, because overstatement is so easy,
but you could be the most fatuous person I have every encountered in
my life.

Which shows just how up to date you are in the fitness business.
Curves for Women, last year, was the fastest growing franchise in the world. This year it is nr. 2
in the world ( so many of the areas have been sold. You can look it up in Forbes magazine.

No slogans. Good quality fabric, and the pocket I sew into them contains about an oz of a cross
linked sodium copolymer polyacrylamide. They are, in camouflage colors, now issue for Army and
Marine combat troops ( and damn, but I wish I had that contract. But, I wasn't the lowest bidder.)

I could be Jesus Christ himself, walking on water and performing miracles, and I wouldn't impress
you. Nor do I care to, for I have no use for you in any way, shape, or form. But you challenged my
veracity.

Just how much did you lose with Amway? You sound like you were a sucker for somebody's pyramid
scheme.

That may be your take on it, but I have done no such thing. I said I have three small businesses.
All are profitable.
I have no desire to be a "Captain of Industry". All that gets you is ulcers and an early death.
At the same time, I am damn happy to no longer be in a corporate cubicle. I did that for 30 years.
I am much happier now than I ever was working for somebody else.

Fortunately for me, I have never encountered you, and only seen your embittered bile on the net. I
doubt that you are a pleasant man to be around. I do not know what has happened in your life to
pour so much hate into your life, but I am sure that frustration is a major part of it. Get over
it, Stevie, and try to get on in life without having to attack strangers to try to prove to yourself
that you have value.

"Fastest growing" can be a misleading stat. Does it mean you quadrupled
from 1 to 4, or does it mean you went from 5000 to 5500?

IIRC, from 4000 to 14000, world wide. Howard, I was astounded at the success
of our first one, in Fairfield. We opened on 15 Sep 02. By 19 Sep 02, we
had made our monthly nut. Our P & L, for Sep 02 ( mind, this was a half
month of business ) we actually had a ( admittedly ) small profit. A
positive bottom line after two weeks in business. In all my experience in
the world of business, I had never heard of such a thing. I was stunned. My
CPA was stunned. The problem was that the business was 56 miles from the
house. ( I didn't get to wee much of my wife. ) When the opportunity arose
to by the Curves nearest our house, we jumped at the chance. Truly, I
never figured this to take off like it did. I estimated that we would have
at least 6 months of starvation before we started to break even.

You are an idiot, aren't you. You have no clue. You know nothing about business. You see, that's what
happens when an ego is as swollen as your is. What you don't understand is that although you have a
job, the fact that your name is sewn on your shirt does not make you management.
You see, when you own the franchise, you get to keep the profit.
You, Stevie, get paid by the hour or some such.
You are an employee.
You really should get this straight in your so called mind.

You are an absolutely brainless idiot. You do not know what the hell you are talking about. You have
made some very stupid assumptions. But then, that is to be expected, I suppose.
I gave you enough information to find out about my businesses.
I also stated that you had neither the ability or ambition to find out about it. You lost the
challenge, you idiot. You have just proved yourself to be nothing but a fool and a troll.

If I made scarves for the mentally infirm, I am sure you would have a few gross of them.

Stevie, I am really bored with your jr. high school humor.
Just go back to your dead end job, and feel really, really good about yourself.

Goodbye, Stevie. I think that you and Gerry make a wonderful couple.

Actually, about a third of my income comes from freelance work. Keep
those fat girls in muumuus, Boob. Admit it, your misrepresented
yourself as owning three businesses when the reality was you have two
small potato franchises (at the pleasure of the franchiser) and you
sell a bunch of scarves which are in fact most likely sold by those
street vendors who also move illegal Mickey Mouse t-shirts and big
balloon cartoon characters. As I said, you aren't even at the level
of a car dealership yet you fancy yourself a successful businessman.

Assuming a shred of this story of yours is true--and it's hard to tell
which would be more pathetic, you lying because you thought this would
puff up your image or you honestly expecting anyone to be impressed/

Go back to your business empire which consists of you, your sad
retarded daughter, and the rotting corpse of Helen. Better still
leave Usenet for good, you just aren't cut out to be anything more
than a bloated punching bag.
