Please remember I’m a single dad and I work a full time job as an interior exterior paint and coin carver in the evenings after I get my son to bed. Enclosing we would like to say Thank You and please take a few minutes to look though are store thank you Jim and Baby Max. Myself and my son Max have been carving hobo nickels and selling collectibles for 5 years on eBay. We have been able to maintain a 100% feedback score and have gained large number of followers through the years. And we would humbly like to say thank you for all the great feedback and support. So Max and myself felt like we should tell you our story. I'm a single dad and I've been raising Max on my own since he was 3 weeks old. Max will be 10 in August. Max is a very highly intelligent little boy he got all A's and a B in science. I don't understand, science is my best subject we're going to fix that this summer. And he also made it on the morning show as head anchorman when he starts 5th grade. I'm so proud of my little man. I have two older sons a 27-year-old and a 25-year-old both are very successful that work for Tampa general hospital. I also raised those two on my own when they were 13 and 15. I always tell everyone relationships are hard raising children is easy fun. As for myself I work full-time as an interior exterior house painter. I'll be 55 this month and life has been good because I sure as hell don't feel like 55. I can still smoke all three of my boys together on the basketball court. And we just started playing pickleball I love that game it's like playing on an oversized ping pong table. Hi my name is Max all my friends call me baby Max. 9 years old 6'2 and full of muscles. Just joking my dad says I got big feet I'm going to be a big boy one day he said I'll be taller than he is. Both of my older brothers make my dad look small and he's 6 ft tall. My older brother's are really good to me especially my brother Joey when I spend nights over at their house he lets me stay up late and plays video games with me all night and buys me sushi and we eat stuff that my dad don't like. My brothers live together and they have a room set up for me for whenever I want to come over hang out party. And my oldest brother Jamie he works too much he's a surgical technician at the hospital. And my brother Joey he is a orderly at the hospital. I thought he had an easy job pushing people around. He explained that it wasn't an easy job and there were things that made him very sad at times. He's got one more semester to go and becoming a surgical tech like my brother Jamie. As a family we all go to church on Sunday my dad plays in the church choir my dad's very talented he plays 13 different instruments. He's an artist that can paint carve draw or build anything. That old man swings a mile every day. Best way to explain my dad if you ever seen the movie Forrest Gump he's Gump. He Use to traveled all over the world teaching hydrogen technologies. When I was born he gave all that up and went back to working in construction. So he could be at home to take care of me. I love working with my dad he takes me on jobs and pays me really good. And by the way all those DVDs CDs video games and books in our store I did all the postings and purchase all those items at the thrift store and yard sales with my dad. My dad pays me a dollar for making each thank you cards and help ship items out.. I am a coin collector I collect Stephen King books and comic books along with Pokemon cards. At 9 years old I make about $100 a week on my own and I owe it all to my dad for teaching me these skills. So ib closing we would both like to say thank you for all the great support and feedback and we hope to hear from you all again thank you Jim and baby Max.
