I sit here in FL in a frozen mental state not knowing where to turn or which way to go & realize #TheBookstore & I are a lot like Dorian. Will we move onward & upward or remain stationary in a debilitating limbo for 90 more days? Please read my story.

The good news is the market is amenable regarding the rent. The bad news is that due to the termite infestation (which DID NOT originate in #TheBookstore) I have been unable to do any business for 2 months.

I have lost 100s of irreplaceable books. The market did not bring in a professional pest control company until 2 weeks ago. These professionals dug outside, found live termites in the booth next to mine, sprayed OUTSIDE & said it could take 90 days before they die. 90 days!

This brings #TheBookstore's reopening right on track with DORIAN'S update. This is the only thing that's actually made me laugh.

My once beautiful bookstore.

Has now been decimated into this. A ghost town of literature.

And that's NOTHING. I have over 10,000 books in boxes right now. In the MEANTIME I continue to sell collections of books on Ebay but more desperately than ever before. If you would like to help but can't afford to GoFundMe, please consider buying some of my Ebay listings.

My Ebay handle is misstozak. I will be listing A LOT more books but here are a few noteworthy & popular collections.

Final note:
I did not seek out this bookstore. #TheBookstore sought me. The previous owners said you can't run this alone. I have done it alone for SIX YEARS. My customers are amazed & so am I! But I DID IT! God is there with me. I help others. Please help me.

PLEASE unroll.
No one cares. No. Some of you do really care. But if I also rescue 100 dogs will you care more? We're on 3 acres. Books or dogs? I don't know anymore.

Dear @realDonaldTrump:
I am #TheBookstore. Small but busy biz located in The Market of Marion. My rent is now 50% of my gross plus there are termites. Meeting w/manager tomorrow. They are #MAGA. A RT from you could save me. Small biz needs to survive & thrive. Please help.
I have been one of your ardent supporters since Day One and I've used #TheBookstore as a venue to help support you. Ask @Scavino45. Ask @CLewandowski_ . Now...I need YOUR support.
One retweet from you might just turn my life around. Please show your support for the small businesses in our great nation. We are the salt of the earth. Thank you, Mr. President.

Folks! The USA is fighting for its survival. MEANWHILE, us little guys are fighting for our survival too. I purchased #TheBookstore 6 years ago & everyone said I couldn't do it by myself. But I did! I am the ultimate multi-tasker. My customers ❤ my bookstore & so do I.
1/
The market keeps raising & raising the rent. Vendors keep leaving & leaving. Ergo, fewer & fewer customers are coming. $1400 a month for 3 days of biz a week? PLEASE help me.

And now the TERMITE infestation which did not originate from my store & which the market refuses to properly eradicate. They want me to move my entire beautiful store one aisle over. Out of the frying pan & into the fire. I have to get out. I need help.

I am so emotional right now after walking through this property I could move my bookstore to. It is mint. It is PERFECT. WaWa just opened on the corner so you KNOW it's a great spot. I could move everything right in. PLEASE read this thread.

This spot costs 115K. Consider that I paid the market 105K in rent in CASH over the past 6 years. I don't need #GoFundMe. I need a GoLendMe! If 5 people could lend me 23K I will pay you all back. Getting a mortgage is hard. SBA could take 3 months. Time is of the essence.
PLEASE read my GoFundMe. It's all true. My husband has seen it happen. A customer went pale when the exact book she wanted was in my hand. It happens ALL THE TIME. The book shows up & then the customer for that exact book shows up. I truly believe God sends them to me.

From @NWS: “The situation has become more serious, especially for the east central Florida coastal counties. Major hurricane dorian is a powerful and extremely dangerous category 5 hurricane having winds near 180 mph.
#Dorian
“As dorian continues to move west toward the northwestern Bahamas, it will slow its forward speed as it moves across the islands tonight. By tomorrow, powerful dorian is forecast to turn northwest toward the central Florida Atlantic waters.
“As dorian slowly begins to make its nearest approach, it is then forecast to turn north-northwest and parallel the coast in close proximity on Tuesday into Wednesday. Although the exact track remains uncertain, the threat of damaging winds and life-threatening storm surge...

Okay so while all attention is on #Dorian, let's do a quick tour of the rest of the NATL tropics currently, because there are some other systems to talk about.

There is a weak llvl circ. n/ Cuba W of Dorian. It should move into the GoM where it has a chance to organize further.
Next up is an African Easterly Wave that just emerged off the coast. The model guidance has been somewhat optimistic on this wave developing over the next 5-7 days, so worth keeping an eye on it. Aside from the Cape Verde islands, no threat to land.
Let's continue. There is yet another wave out in the middle of the NATL basin. Its battling some fairly strong westerly shear currently, but some models suggest it will get into a more favorable environment as it moves off to the northwest. #Bermuda should keep an eye on it.

@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Report here is obfuscation. Issue isn't the total collective campaign spending, it’s about who broke the law & how. #Remain campaigns were fined for failing to submitting returns correctly. They didn’t act fraudulently to overspend. The largest fine was to Lib Dems, £18K. 1/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Carole Cadwalladr & others have reported extensively: The #Leave campaigns have been found guilty of serious breaches of the law by the Electoral Commission and the ICO and are now under criminal investigation for other offences. 2/
@mrmarchee @garrygreen888 @moonhare77 @carolecadwalla Vote Leave – Official Leave campaign: Fined £61K by Electoral Commission for colluding with BeLeave & overspending the £7m limit by £500k. They paid #AIQ this amount for Facebook ads in the name of BeLeave. Vote Leave now referred to Met/NCA for further suspected fraud. 3/

How about a #Remain manifesto, agreed & promoted by all major Remain groups? #RemainManifesto

The purpose would be to explain how, if we Remain, we can address Leave's concerns and can commit a future govnt to enact them, to the letter. 1/20
The manifesto could address the main reasons we have been told for the Leave vote.

It could focus purely on the key areas - immigration, sovereignty, EU federal plans, EU wastefulness.
It could detail precise ways in which we can protect ourselves from these concerns. 2/20
hy not compromise by changing Britain as it is today, but not by leaving the EU? And save the cost & risk of Brexit.

But I think we should only address the areas directly detailed as being the reasons for the Leave vote. Not what we suspect may be underlying. 3/20

Here are six of the most ridiculous claims from #ProjectFear about the impact of a clean #Brexit on businesses, prices and jobs. I’m paraphrasing to make my points, but all are staples of the #Remain camp. (1/8)
Myth 1. Businesses have become so reckless that they now rely on fragile just-in-time supply chains where even the slightest new friction would be catastrophic, and it would be impossible to adapt them without the massive disruption of relocating. (2/8)
Myth 2. Businesses selling only into the EU are so feeble that they would find it very difficult and costly to start filling in a simple customs return, even though they already manage to deal with all the other paperwork required. (3/8)
