Many dears have expressed keen interest in the device that created my little $3 million start-up pool and $6 million for a friend. Remember my last letter? That&#8217;s the fellow.
It&#8217;s a handheld tester, something the size of a cell phone with pop-in module at one end and transmitter to [...]]]></description>

Shimmer, kling-klang, glitter, sleight of hand that makes the swamp look attractive, the dreadful stock glisten. Yes, I made my first million with a hair oil salesman, if you must know. It was considerably more than a million and entirely an accident. I followed all [...]]]></description>

When I was  at summer camp years ago (oh those halcyon days of sun and young bodies), Big Dave ran an old frying pan along the outside of the bunkhouses every morning  after reveille. &#34;All right girls.

It has been  so hot here lately, and I mean hot. All over. Which brings me to the subject of  water. It&#8217;s only a matter of time till we have to pay for this tasteless  beverage. It&#8217;s necessary, I suppose that&#8217;s the best we can say for it. And it [...]]]></description>

Thank you, I&#8217;m overwhelmed by your lovely response to my suggestions. My cheeks are absolutely blushing. And yes, I have made a lot of money.

Fred, my diamond man, is an absolute charmer. You wouldn&#8217;t believe the things we get up to.

Gertie had a date last night with a wonderful man who bought her, you guessed it, the subject of today&#8217;s little exercise for your eyes only (hush, Fred) diamonds.
