Over the past few months birds have been nesting in our clothes dryer vent. We heard them all the time and it sounded really interesting. Twice we removed nests because we are afraid of the nest catching fire. The last time we removed a nest was approximately 4 weeks ago. Over the past few days, we could smell wood burning and today we pulled the air vent off the back of the dryer and discovered a very large birds nest with these four eggs in them. We had to remove the nest...my daughter wants to save them. She asked how we could incubate them...does anybody know?

If you do email, text or mobile marketing, never take it personally when
someone unsubscribes. This gives you more time to focus your efforts on
those who truly value you.

We're away most of July so have to get them done. Hope you peers are having fun."Big Hugs" and a 'smooch' to ny closer friendly...you know who you are :-)

(1) Know who your ideal customer is so you can attract the right people to your store
(2) Increase your conversion rate of those coming through
(3) Retain these ideal customers and build your database through email marketing
