  1. Is it just me??

    This is why it's important to discuss policy based on fact and not emotion. It's not 'fear mongering' or 'insanity' to express concerns about impact of elections on my business's health on a sign business forum. You are correct in noting the balance in the Senate will have an impact. If the...
  2. Is it just me??

    Depends on how you set up your books; cash or accrual. We operate on cash basis so a sale isn't a sale until we receive the funds, and an expense is an expense when paid.
  3. Is it just me??

    Robert might not want to join the mass exodus from CA to TX.
  4. Is it just me??

    I think it depends on the tax situation of the business and possibly political considerations. Just guessing that some businesses struggling might defer payments so expenses go against profits in a better year or one in which taxes may raise. Last year 2019 I had a record year so I paid...
  5. First Machine Help - Need Real World Opinions Instead of Sales Guy

    This conversation reminds me of a Ford vs Chevy discussion. I never did understand die-hard product loyalty. When something better comes along, my loyalty is to my business and I'll buy that when practical. Paneled wall murals are one of our top products. Never had an issue with color shift...
  6. Another Win for Texas

    Yes, the first one was about liberating a class of people from institutional slavery. Once we lose our right to free speech, religious expression, and independent thought another form of slavery will exist. Just the opposite here in MO. High income tax (5%) and relatively low property taxes...
  7. Another Win for Texas

    That logic is similar to what is used to justify a progressive tax system. Self described progressives and conservatives are often not all that different with their logic. Basically someone in government that thinks they are smarter than the rest of us picks winners and losers. In the case of...
  8. Another Win for Texas

    I would add that it follows that government should stay out of most every other aspect of our lives as well.
  9. Rememberance 12/7/1941

    Mom said to be careful of what you say, because once you say it, it can't be unsaid.
  10. Need Help Web site domains

    I tried unsuccessfully to buy my company name as .com so added a hyphen and went my merry way. The owner wanted $1K (about 10 years ago). About 2 years later he contacted me - offered him $100 and he took it. Now I redirect the newer one to the old site and keep both domains for $12 each per...
  11. How to handle previous owner's mistakes

    Unfortunately when you purchase a sign company's name you also take on their problems. Legally, you might not be responsible (depending on the purchase agreement) but in reality you are assuming their reputation, good or bad.. I would not admit fault or that they used cheap materials - for all...
  12. Rememberance 12/7/1941

    That started a chain of events that had my father volunteering, requiring his parents permission, in the Marines at age 17, combat on Okinawa and occupying Nagasaki immediately after the bomb.
  13. Pricing: wrapping 42' Hackney beverage trailer

    Good point - if he doesn't want to have a detailed costing/quote system, separating labor from materials internally would be a step forward and at least shine some light on where the profit is coming. We actually quote print, install and design separately. I do that as a subtle reminder of...
  14. Pricing: wrapping 42' Hackney beverage trailer

    So for example a 10X10 area of 'fuzty' work nets another $100? That would be about an 75 minutes of chargeable labor in our shop, so if you can do that amount of fuzty in an 75 minutes than it works. Not intending to be critical because I don't know your business. But for my business...
  15. Need Help Printhead Clogging HP L25500

    It's been several years, but we once had an HP tech spend a week throwing parts at our 25500 and this was the eventual culprit. He left after replacing and we started having problems again; turns out the caps need to be aligned to the priming tubes (may be wrong term so check your manual)...
  16. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    Glad to be of service. I was momentarily concerned I ran afoul of the solicitation policy at S101, but I guess one can't be considered professional if they don't charge.
  17. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    Aha! Saw this photo of your governor: https://babylonbee.com/news/pink-haired-gavin-newsom-attends-lavish-dinner-ahead-of-californias-1st-annual-hunger-games
  18. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    Tell me about it Boudica. My first session is free.
  19. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    You've probably mentioned it before, but curious why your location is showing China? VPN? Anyway happy Thanksgiving wherever it is.
  20. So.... What is everyone going to do for Thanksgiving?

    We voluntarily will limit our gathering to one of our son's family of 3 and Zoom with the rest. Wouldn't be followed by many regardless of it being a law or not. In fact, making it a law would probably make it worse. Even FB and Twit wouldn't be able to suppress reports of police entering...
