<html><DIV> </DIV> <P>Dear Douglas,</P> <P>Thanks for the new way of looking at things!  You sure Are a Team Player! </P> <P>One suggestion; you would probably get a <STRONG><EM>better glassando</EM></STRONG> by using Semolina instead of Rigatoni.</P> <P>As far as your fees go, you might start paying each one of <STRONG>us</STRONG> $1.00 from the $20, now <EM><STRONG>that</STRONG></EM> would be team playing!</P> <P>Diane</P> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I do have one question. When it took me 7 hours I charged the customer $20. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Now that it takes me 20 minutes do you think it's fair to STILL charge $20 or <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>should I be charging $1.00 ( Roughly $20 divided by 21)? Any suggestions <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <P>>greatly appreciated. > </P> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>That's all for now. It's nice to have others to swap ideas and stories with. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>I've always been a team player. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Next time I'll tell you all how my repair went on some broken plastic (or <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>nylon) things in a piano called a "Betsy Ross". Isn't that a stupid name for <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>a piano? Next there'll be an "Opray Winfrey" piano. It was a real nice one <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>though. I repaired the parts with pieces of Rigatoni pasta but don't want to <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>"spill the Fagioli" until I see if it works or not. Stay tuned!!! More next <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>time. <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>>Douglas Vitreous <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <DIV></DIV> <P></P>Diane Hofstetter <BR>245-M Mount Hermon Rd.#343 <BR>Scotts Valley, CA 95066 <BR>ph 831-438-6222 <BR>fax 831-430-9741 <BR>dianepianotuner@hotmail.com <BR><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href="http://explorer.msn.com">http://explorer.msn.com</a><br></p></html>
