  1. Discussion How do you stay organized?

    Just wanted to update. I've been using clipboards and paper since I opened 5 years ago. I tried doing other things and always went back to paper. WELL...the guy on here who mentioned Signtracker caught my attention. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and unless I have paper notes, I don't bother...
  2. Importing Vinyl From China

    How do I not remember this Great White event? I had to look it up and I STILL don't remember it! It looks horrifying!
  3. Importing Vinyl From China

    My son's friend bought a tailgate decal off Amazon. The vinyl is from China. I said he could apply it at my shop, with my tools, with me watching. All the standard application and cleaning procedures were followed. Here's what it looked like 2 weeks later. Corner all lifted and 3/4 of the edges...
  4. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I guess we do! LOL My son was lucky. He started for a landscape company when he was 16 and worked a ton of hours during those 3 summers before he left. He already had saved $15,000 before he started. Scholarships were in the $1500 range and he had a few. He also worked for a landscaper during...
  5. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    LOL! I kinda figured we would lose to the Bills...not a big fan of Rodgers anyway. Unfortunately, it's not my son and she's not my daughter so I can only say so much. My BF wasn't bothered by it until this weekend, she's a very nice girl and it's odd for him to date someone who is nice so he...
  6. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    Nor did I...I PM'd her and used male pronouns...she informed me she was a she. OOPS
  7. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    My son paid for all his college from working in high school and during college and graduates in February, should have zero debt. He had a lot of scholarships also. I told him my parents kicked me out after a few months after I got my degree and he will be out also - that's just the way it is. He...
  8. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I think this is exactly right. I have a couch dweller at my house...my BF son (23) lives in the basement. He had an apartment with his girlfriend but then moved back a year ago and hasn't left. Now he has a new girlfriend who is 25 and she has a 200# dog and lives with her parents who are very...
  9. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    Just a general statement about how to save money when times are tough, not directed at all towards RJ's students. There's one class they should require every high school senior to take. It's called "Math for Everyday Living". In this class you clipped out a job in the newspaper, you clipped...
  10. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I'm glad I have a fixed rate on my shop and my house. In 2021 my shop taxes went up $200 per month to cover the city putting in new water lines and sidewalk. Then my house taxes went up $100month to cover new sidewalks. THEN this summer I got hit with new lead latterals at my house for another...
  11. Are you kidding me?

    Geneva said it best to me while back when I had the local VFW try to force me to charge only $50 for pole banners. It was quite a debacle, the guy was a jerk and I told him to downtown. And he did and as I talk to people in the community, I'M GLAD HE DID. Here's her quote from that post...
  12. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    I agree. We use the ground for hot tamales and I eat it but I prefer cow. Unfortunately, everyone else likes it...
  13. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    If any of you fancy chefs have a good recipe to make venison roasts, we would be interested! The venison thing is new to me and in the past he did all ground. We kept all the roasts from last nights doe but neither of us know a good way to cook them. Never thought this site might be a good...
  14. A sign related food subject......................................................................................

    It would cost me an arm and leg to cook all fancy like that guy and like most of you. I have 4 'men' to feed...it's an endless cycle of calculating what is most filling for the longest period of time. Especially with 2 of them in football right now. I'm like a school lunch lady, what can I make...
  15. Credit Cards

    I sell a lot of shirts for groups on my WIX site where I create a link and then each person can order and pay for their shirt individually vs. one person taking orders and handing it to me. I increase the price by quite a bit to cover fees and extra labor. It's nice to get paid upfront for some...
  16. Barcodes Scanning but not Cutting - HP Latex 365 + HP Cutter Combo

    I have the same set-up, I've always only used the Production Manager to send jobs to the cutter. Until I read this, I didn't even know there was another option! So far, I have had good luck with sending from Production Manager.
  17. One man shop growing pains

    It almost looks like there's outlets 4' high about every 8' - a little hard for me to see though...
