  1. Cortisone Shots

    Shots and alternatives Certainly I am not a doctor. I've had the shots as well as a number of people around me. My take is it really depends on the person / severity of the issue. I would have agreed to amputation on my wrist 2 years ago. Got the shot and although it aches here and there it...
  2. Magnet Blanks

    Hello all, I am looking for a source for precut 5" magnet rounds. No large quantity for starters, maybe a few dozen. I was contacted by the Little League. Please PM pricing if you would like to provide them. Thank you, Mike
  3. Plastic Mugs Needed

    Hello all! I am in need of 500-1500 red plastic beer mugs with a handle for a local fire company bazaar. I would be interested in blanks and pre printed prices. If anyone wishes please PM me. Thanks to all! Mike
  4. Banner Rentals

    I'm not sure but I lean to the original thought. If they are premade, if they are readily available in the showroom so people can be directed to look through them and limit the time taken then why not? Pick it out, drag it to the counter and complete the sale, done. Return visits, comments to...
  5. Expansion ideas from next to nothing

    Thank you all for your input. Somwhow my original post was recieved WAY different than what I was driving at. I can read my post and understand how I wasn't clear, guess I was overtired when I wrote it. :toasting: This venture is in addition to our main business. Our first cutter's...
  6. Expansion ideas from next to nothing

    This may get lengthy, please bear with me. As I pointed out we had a 15" cutter for two years. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you are determined enough. We tackled items and developed a small, if not tiny niche locally. Some clubs, sport teams and the like. I like the tone of this...
  7. Hand Carved Ribbon....Step x Step

    Chips, I knew it wasn't wood from the pics. Seems the HDU carves really nice! Much nicer than pine anyway. Your skill is light years beyond me and I had to peek as my knowledge is wood based as opposed to sign making. :notworthy: Was curious if the material was vinyl friendly? Please don't...
  8. Strange things that have happened - Twilight Zone Stuff

    THAT'S GONNA CAUSE A DREAM ! Can I unread that?
  9. Cost of Funerals!!!

    Well I'll share seeing how the thread is going. And please Sir (Arlo) I mean no disrespect. I don't pretend to know you but feel for your loss. It is in my will to have a half barrel at the base of the casket and my carcass holding a stack of black plastic cups (big ones). No one is to be...
  10. Hand Carved Ribbon....Step x Step

    Two idiot questions: What is the material? Are the letters carved as well? I mean it looks like that but I can't be sure. Extremely nice!
  11. Married life......

    Hope I am not breaking the rules but I had to share: The wife and I were sitting around the breakfast table one lazy Sunday morning. I said to her, "If I were to die suddenly, I want you to immediately sell all my stuff." "Now why would you want me to do something like that?" she asked...
  12. Forward the client or outsource?

    "I like the way my regulars can openly come to me for advice on where to go for odd services. I feel that they appreciate that honesty and reward me with whatever they can when they can. In the short term, yes, I lose a small amount of money if I had taken the job." I will only ever offer...
  13. Forward the client or outsource?

    Outsource any job that you would feel comfortable doing if they needed your service, meaning if the customer seems like a decent person. I would place this question in the same category as should I hire an employee. Let's face it you are only one person and capable of generating x per hour...
  14. What to do?

    I would say an attorney to start or a call to the local police. Around here it's your property until it's paid for and the State Police will accompany you to retrieve your property. Whatever you do make sure it's immediately! Time adds to blurriness of details and then the "he said - she...

  16. Logo for input

    I really appreciate the input. To the last post it is a logo, although I will want to carry the design into a storefront sign. I am going to agree that I need to look into exisiting logos and try to reverse engineer them. I know I am missing every basic concept other than it needs letters...
  17. Logo for input

    Thank you! Funny thing is I thought I was pretty happy the first draft. The things people are pointing out has me wondering how I could even have posted the first one. Complete lack of understanding of the art on my part. Better?
  18. Logo for input

    Is this getting closer to acceptable? I am scared of going too crazy with color. I tried a number of combinations and although something seems wrong I just can"t place it. I tried color sites to stay within the same family, think I will revisit that.
  19. Logo for input

    I follow the issues surrounding the font. I guess I was attempting "classy". I knew I didn't want something that had a cheap or inexpensive look. Reflecting on it I guess I am trying for too much from a single design. I am working on making it better and I will post as I "correct" it...
  20. Logo for input

    Thank you for the input so far! I have been reading as fast as I can regarding signs, maybe too much to digest. Tinkering and asking for input will only help me grasp important aspects quicker. Here's what I am trying to obtain: Large sign Letterheads Will work in a single color The...
