Default I get no respect

When I apply to a show, they list the wrong dates.....Entered a frog carving contest. Five entries,,,,I came in thirty second? Wood craft even offered to pay me to hang out at the other place...They said it was closer..Started a carving, turned my back and it jumped in the wood stove......Woman said that is a great carving,,,it wasen't mine.....and this happened, am at a local show demonstrating...Have all tools from 1800's..Gal looks at the tools, Addis, Herring,Greaves ,Hill,Cam etc, and said, Mr Nadwodney if you could purchase better tools, maybe you would be able to carve better...I thanked her for the advice.. When someone like that goes out of their way to be helpful, you gotta love em...Gave a FREE carving class , the students wanted their money back....Customer said , What a fantastic job of antiquing,,, the worm holes look so realistic..How did you do that> Used real worms..Oh Mr N , you are such a great kidder..............Wait till her house falls down......People,upon seeing your work will ask if you made them...They ask me if people really buy them?

Very funny! Some Stand-up Comedians are asked to sit down! Sometimes they're TOLD! You should give stand-up a try!
