Hello, I’m Kate and I’m new to this board.

We just started an online, all natural beef, store [link deleted] - and I’m excited to see recipes, meet new friends and share our amazing beef with you guys.

Thanks for welcoming me to your site - I can’t wait to connect.

Kate

As this is in the pit anyway, can you delete the link in the OP and leave this up so we can mock it?

I’m so disappointed. Kate is one of my favorite girl’s names.

I had such high hopes for you, KatePS. You’ve broken my heart.

I wondered if the “BBQ Pit” name is what attracted the beef ad?

Don’t be so hard on her, she’s probably in a wheelchair (but wealthy, at least)

I guess natural beef is as good a hobby as any.

I’m very annoyed by your website.

It clearly states:

> [@](#):
>
> **Quarter**
> 
> A quarter of beef is just the right amount for many families. You can expect to get at least 175 lbs. of beef for only $6.15, which is much cheaper than buying each of the items included in this package individually. Your quarter of beef will include a variety of steaks, roasts and steakburger.

Well, I’m up for 175lbs of beef for $6.15.

However when I add it to my cart we’re talking over seven hundred of your american dollars.

Why do you lie?

Nice tips, although the tri was a little weird.
