If that's your gig By-tor....great.
Customers love talking to automation.
Myself - I'll buy from someone with a heartbeat.
And......I don't have to press 1 for english.
My automation is a bit more behind the scenes. The things I code make your order go through the system easier without the need for constant human intervention.
that's cool....PM me and tell me what you offer. I have to (by law) "spread the wealth" when buying stuff here.

LONDON (AP) - Scottish bride Teresa Brown's dream of a
perfect wedding day probably did not include attacking the
groom with her stiletto-heeled shoe and spending the
weekend in a cell.
Police arrested the 33-year-old in the couple's hotel room in
April while her wedding reception continued downstairs,
prosecutor Alan Townsend said Tuesday at Aberdeen Sheriff
Court.
She spent the rest of her wedding weekend in a cell.
The distraught groom, Mark Allerton, 40, staggered to the
front desk, clutching a bloody towel to his head, Townsend said.
"He indicated that his wife had struck him over the head with
a stiletto heel," the prosecutor said.
Police found Brown, a real estate agent's assistant, sitting
on the hotel room bed, surrounded by broken glass.
Brown told police she and her husband had "been accusing
each other of different things," the prosecutor said, without
going into details. Brown said she hit him on the head because
he had taken a hold of her, he added.
Brown's lawyer Stuart Beveridge said the newlyweds began
throwing things at each other after an argument in their room
turned physical. He said Brown had been on antidepressants
at the time and had been drinking.
"She and her husband are still together although this incident
has not helped," he said, adding she is receiving counseling.
Sheriff James Tierney let Brown off on the assault charge with
a warning and fined her 250 pounds ($505 USD) for damaging
the hotel room and ordered her to pay the hotel 500 pounds
($1,150 USD) in compensation.
Hilton Treetops said in a statement that they were happy the
case has closed.
"This has been a very unusual case," the hotel said.
BEND, Ore. ? Last weekend, Kent Couch settled
down in his lawn chair with some snacks ? and a
parachute. Attached to his lawn chair were 105
large helium balloons.
Destination: Idaho.
With instruments to measure his altitude and speed,
a global positioning system device in his pocket, and
about four plastic bags holding five gallons of water
each to act as ballast ? he could turn a spigot, release
water and rise ? Couch headed into the Oregon sky.
Nearly nine hours later, the 47-year-old gas station
owner came back to earth in a farmer's field near Union,
short of Idaho but about 193 miles from home.
"When you're a little kid and you're holding a helium
balloon, it has to cross your mind," Couch told the
Bend Bulletin.
"When you're laying in the grass on a summer day, and
you see the clouds, you wish you could jump on them,"
he said. "This is as close as you can come to jumping on
them. It's just like that."
Couch is the latest American to emulate Larry Walters
? who in 1982 rose three miles above Los Angeles in a
lawn chair lifted by balloons.
Walters had surprised an airline pilot, who radioed the
control tower that he had just passed a guy in a lawn chair.
Walters paid a $1,500 penalty for violating air traffic rules,
and nearly won the dubious "Darwin" Award, but he survived.

Let's invoke the Lord in on this one.
