Those look pretty nice, John.
I did notice that you got a bit "wobbly" with one of
the vertical cuts, but no big deal. All looked fine once
cut.

You could bag them by weight, if for sale.

And you *could* do that for a living at least part time.
Start small and sell at local bake sales where food
laws are forgiven or ignored.

Anyway....nice job.

:-) Thanks Gary. These are hand made, so no machine regularity. And no, these are for giving away, not selling. And our own eating pleasure!

They'd look even better, and more sanitary, if individually wrapped in
colored cellophane... place each in a little square and twist the
ends.

Yep, they look quite nice. If he'd update his candy website and add
secure order and payment processing he could sell direct to consumer. I
thought that was his big plan a few years back but nothing ever came of it.

Nope, not lazy. Just a King of Inaction!

Oh, and I talked with my H&R Block tax lady today, she says has my Returns for 2018 and 2019 completed, and that I owe nothing on the Federal but some to the State, which I sold her seems normal to me. Under $2000 for both. But she's still waiting on my 2017 data probably from Epic Nursing who moved OUT of Missouri, the bastards! And that's the one which I lost or never received my W2s from, and I did a A LOT of work for Epic in 2017.

Sorry Alex, my tax situation is NOT gonna ruin me financially as I'm sure your evil self hoped! :-(

Didn't you recently say that you pay your taxes? Now you are saying that
you just just filed for 2018 and are waiting for documentation for 2017,
so that means you are 2 years behind.

What's the difference? It seems you make very nice candy. You could
bring in a little income doing so. Being the King of Inaction is pretty
much the same thing as being lazy when you get right down to it.

My response was unrelated to your tax situation.  You've notified
everyone in this group that you were too lazy to deal with that. Since
you brought it up, the IRS has your 1099 or W-2 information for 2017. 
It's not locked away in some filing cabinet.

Carry on...

He can't keep track of his lies.
