Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of Lee Lee's Valise! It has been a crazy ride. Who thought when we opened that we would be the last ones standing and that we would have our own TV show. We are having a party and a sale as well that you can find out about
on the website. Thank you for you kind words over the years and if you can't come by lift a glass with us and help us celebrate!
Wow. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Trooper....you and the missus are mighty cool, and I wish the show might damn well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ron and ChipS.
ReplyDeleteYou support is part of what keeps us going.
I thought we ran on humor and good faith here?
ReplyDeleteI mean, are you talking about TY or Lee Lee's?
ReplyDeleteI'm going show support for Lee Lee's by watching the show. I'm going to show support for TY by doing the same stupid shit I do here until somebody important tells me to stop.
I sure wouldn't mind a piece of that cake.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
ReplyDeleteMansion and a Yacht!
We always have cake chickie.
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank all of youse for stopping in every day and telling me what you think about this whole process. It gives me something to think about because you are all very smart people.
Oh and thanks to nd too! (Everybody can't be smart)
Survival is no small victory.

Congratulations on your first five years! In a short five years see ow much you and Lisa have accomplished? Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteIs that cake low carb, probably not:(
How, glad it's not an ow.
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Trooper and bride. And, I found out a long time ago; as long as I'm smarter than the shitbird I'm investigating, I'll do just fine.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I'm smarter than the shitbird I'm investigating things work out just fine.
ReplyDeleteOh and Allen. I just came back from a fish fry, yah heh. I turned on the Brewers game. It was on AM w/ your buddy, Uke. My bride, knowing I can't stand listening to Uke, asked if she should turn on Sirius and get the Giants feed. I said no...it's only 20 minutes. Well in those 20 minutes I counted your boy Uke saying "errrr" 71 fucking times!! My speech teacher would have hit him w/ a piece of chalk 50 times.
Five years of successful sales and service as an independent provider in this economy is no small "feet"!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
With additional celebration for the bonus of reality show exposure wrapped up, in the bag and ready for home viewing.
Congratulations. Time flies when you're having fun. Errrr what's wrong with Uke? He calls a good game, and has a lot of fun while doing it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Trooper and Lisa! Best wishes for many more!
ReplyDeleteLow carb cake? We have that here. It's called 'water'.
Michael Haz, I call water low carb beer. But it can work as cake too.
ReplyDeleteMichael Haz, Allie is the Carrie Nation of carbs. She goes around to bakeries w/ an ax cutting 50lb bags of flour. She has a warrant out for her in Wi.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Troop.
ReplyDeleteSo many tits so little time.
tits.
Oh, I tell you, ladies, you never know what joy it gives you to start out to smash a bakery shop.
ReplyDelete(Carry Nation)
I felt invincible. My strength was that of a giant. God was certainly standing by me. I smashed five bakeries with rocks before I ever took a hatchet.
(Carry Nation)
And Mamam is back!
ReplyDeleteWhat more could you ask for.
I thought the old war horse might of died.
tits.

ReplyDeleteI follow in the footsteps of greatness, but what did she have against rum?
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's an achievement at any time, even more so at this juncture. Hat's off to ya both.
ReplyDeleteI was trying to do the math on this: You ran your accounting biz for, what, 2-3 years while Lee Lee's was starting up?
The Flower's into "Storage Wars" lately and it's amazing how many people say "I quit my job, opened up a storefront and now I'm gonna raid storage lockers for a living!"
And by "amazing how many", I mean "more than two".
Congratulations Troop.
ReplyDeleteJust remember that nothing in reality TV is real.
ReplyDeleteThe producers want to set up a story line and want conflict. It can't be that people get along and work together for a common goal. Or that you can be kind. Or thoughtful. That doesn't sell.
ReplyDeleteNow Dave on Storage Wars may be a dick in real life and Darryl a blowhard but they make them play it up and go over the top because that is what sells.
ReplyDeleteYou think they play up Brandi's bitchiness, too?
ReplyDelete'cause no one could be that bitchy in real life.
She goes around to bakeries w/ an ax cutting 50lb bags of flour.
ReplyDeleteHands off my bismarks! They're endangered species.
Dont worry Troop, we will still like you, we know the real you.
ReplyDeleteHappy cinco aƱos de mayo on good sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteBrandi is a stripper and in real life they are damn bitchy. Just sayn'
ReplyDeleteOh, the scurrilous rumors you deal in, Troop.
ReplyDeleteHard work, faith in yourself and each other....pays off!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
Can't wait for the show. Dumbplumber and I are going to be watching for sure.
I want lots of tits on the show....please.
ReplyDeletetits.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI want cake.
I think my favorite cake right now is Red Velvet. I do like German Chocolate, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, hell, I just like cake. Period. Bring it.
Five years! That is no small feat. My dad went out on his own and started a business when I was a teen, and those first five years were rough. On the other hand, now I'm neary 40 and he's still plugging along, having outlived almost every original competitor. Way to go, Dad!
ReplyDeleteBut I don't see TLC beating tracks to Minnesota to chronicle the wacky hijinks of a charitable gambling supply (AKA bingo paper and pulltab) distributor.
Congratulations for everything. Your whole situation here is a win for the good guys.
