I'm surprised by your use of the word "we"... are you involved in these things? lol. I see you are from Africa where I've been given to believe these things usually originate from. Can you give me any advice on how I could get something like this going here from Texas? My conscience could stand...

okay, I'll admit I'm feeling a little dense this morning. I can't figure out the eventual outcome of this type of scam. If they don't ask you for an account number or any up front funds, what comes next from them in this scenario? Part of me wonders as well IF any of these are EVER legit?

It's obvious there's some superior female genetics in that little girl... she's gonna be a stunner when she grows up. I had the same problem with my baby girl who is 21 now and a veritable super model. Her boyfriend is a muscular hunk who has already asked two guys in public "what the hell are...

I used to know a beautiful black hooker (don't ask me how). One day she decided to get out of the business and open an ice cream stand. It was the best ho-made ice cream you ever tasted.

I can't believe how incredibly bummed I am that a total stranger to me has died. I guess I just identified with his relationship to his brother - it's how it was for me and my brother who died a few years back. On a recent episode of Swamp People, Mitchell was naming all the ways to prepare gar...

I saw this on a guitar forum. Several people said they WERE considering getting a nylon string guitar, but after watching this decided it was no use. This kid really has the guitar face down to.

Not a bad idea... I could actually create a sellable product that way. Thanks for the idea.

is not your strong suite, eh?" (One of my favorite bob quotes). Two of the people whose vehicles I've recently pinstriped were given business cards to hand out for me. The cards PLAINLY say "traditional hand lettered signs and freehand pinstriping". So in the past few days I've received two...

Since my early retirement has turned into a near full time pinstriping business, my hobby is learning to play the guitar fingerstyle like Chet Atkins and Merle Travis, Doc Watson et al. I recently gave up playing bass in a church orchestra after 15 years... there was an eager 18 year old kid...

Greetings from a former fellow Hoosier who resided in Logansport on the banks of the Wabash far away. 33 years in Texas now and still not missing the Indiana winters. Y'all are sure getting some bad weather up there... may be part of the system that brought us about a dozen tornadoes a few weeks...

About a week ago there was a thread about 1 Shot drying problems people were having. In the past few days I've made an interesting discovery. When I pinstriped out of new, freshly opened cans it dried within 1 1/2 hours in 85 degree heat. When I used cans where I had to take a palette knife and...

Welcome to best sign forum on the internet. That setup beats the days I had complete Gerber setup in a van and went to car dealerships to do custom graphics on location.

This customer brought Google images pics which I largely ignored. As usual, the iPod camera didn't accurately show the colors. I used imitation gold with yellow added, chamois and white. I ran out of steam before I got to the hood and tailgate - finishing it tomorrow... I'm still maintaining my...

JimmyG sent me Dave's home address - I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it. Should you desire to send Liddy a sympathy card or letter, the address is: SD.L & E.A Drane 39 Atkinson Road Bli Bli, QLD 4560 Queensland, Australia Australia The minimum postage from the US to Australia is $.95.

My wife was especially hard hit by the news of Dave's passing. She became friends with Dave's wife Liddy the weekend they stayed at our home on their last visit here. She wants to send a sympathy card to her, but I can't find the business card Dave left with their address. Does anyone have it...

Is this an appropriate time to suggest a fund raiser for Liddy to help with expenses?

This is very hard for me to handle right now. On their last trip to the States Dave and Liddy drove from Vegas to Texas so he could "shake my hand" (his words). They spent the weekend with us and I gained what I thought would be lifelong friends. They invited us to come to Australia to visit...

I just talked to another pinstriper today who told me on his last job he used two new cans of 1Shot and two days later it was still tacky. Day two is today. I've done three striping jobs in past week and a half with new paint and mine dried within two hours. Must be a random problem with the...

The most disgusting customer I ever had came in with his bottom lip filled with what I'm sure was an entire can of Skoal. His lip looked like a Ubangi tribe member. Orange liquid constantly oozed from the corners of his mouth and even dropped on my desk. He tried to clean it off by smearing it...

Would have to disagree. The guy making the compliment also made the statement to the effect of "you seem to be a conscientious employee...". He was speaking in a normal conversational tone and obviously trying to be helpful. I personally would have appreciated the remark being made to me. I...
