  1. Did you file for PPP?

    I just applied through my local bank. It took me less than an hour. Hopefully there is more money soon. Not my numbers but another business I know applied. Got $75,000. Approximately $18k should be forgivable and the remainder $56k will be at a 1% loan amount over 18 months starting in November...
  2. Have you affected your business this time?

    All the bars and restaurants are closed in WI - that was a big part of my business. Still doing vehicle lettering and had some larger jobs luckily to make up for losing some smaller ones. I have very little overhead, thankfully!
  3. News We are classified as?

    I think of retail as a place I can go buy pre-made goods. Grab off the shelf and pay. Most likely 95% of your business is service. In WI I've closed my "retail" doors but continued to work for essential businesses such as lettering construction vehicles, etc. I told most of the little "personal"...
  4. Laptop or desktop?

    All my computers have always been gaming computers, I've never had any problems with them either!
  5. Laptop or desktop?

    I like this! Do you need the software downloaded on both computers for this to work?
  6. Laptop or desktop?

    Thinking of buying a laptop so I can do some design work from home. I also need a new desktop at home so can bring my work one home. I currently have a desktop at the shop and use LXI and Corel. Looking to bring the laptop home so I have all my fonts, and files at my fingertips. It's been a...
  7. Hopping on the Senior train...

    Just designed up some signs and banners for our local seniors and got a request for same thing, different school. My clicking finger is in overdrive trying to beat the other sign shops in the area LOL HOT item now people! Jump on the train! Thanks to FireSprint for some great ideas :) will...

    Making a Murderer happened a few miles from me. I didn't know her but a lot of my friends did, he killed her in most peoples opinion around here without a doubt. Anyway...TIGER KING!!! Total drama overload!!! I Carol killed her husband Joe got railroaded by all the felons - notice the only...
  9. Anyone looking at their business differently now?

    I'm excited to open my doors again but this situation has me really wondering...what was I REALLY doing with all my time? Great opportunity to evaluate such things and make things more efficient. GreySquirrel, FB has been the ONLY way I've been advertising, it's a great resource and it's free...
  10. Anyone looking at their business differently now?

    That is an excellent story! Exactly the way this whole shut down has me feeling. Thank you for sharing, hopefully others will read it as well!
  11. Anyone looking at their business differently now?

    Just curious if anyone who is in "shut down" or doing work for just essential business is looking at their business differently? Since my door is locked, there are no more walk-ins...which means no more people looking for little jobs, no "personal" jobs. I am taking orders only electronically...
  12. This video changes EVERYTHING on Covid-19

    That last video was already disputed on Fox news for being a shot in Italy. Old news. This woman is twisting things around just like the media - one extreme to the next. If you go somewhere between her and the news, you should find the truth. 1. Obviously the lines died down, they announced...
  13. What would you REALLY do if you had symptoms of Coronavirus?

    It's my understanding in my local hospitals they don't have enough testing supplies so unless the person needs to be admitted or were in direct contact they go home without a test and are told to quarantine. It's impossible to know how many people actually have it. I really wish they could do...
  14. HR Dept says we're not "essential"

    I'm most concerned about doing vehicle graphics. I don't have an inside shop so I use a buddies and I don't want to go there anymore. I also do not want to get inside anyone's vehicle especially those contractors that are in and out of peoples homes all day. The weather here in WI isn't the most...
  15. Really getting bored now

    I'm really torn on some of this. I have a concrete business and a heating business that bought new vehicles and they want them lettered. My thought was they are essential and we can supply essential businesses with supplies to keep them operating however is it essential they have the vehicles...
  16. Really getting bored now

    I watched it also! It's disturbing to say the least! The main guy looks and acts JUST like my transvestite tenant that rented from me last year. Just made me squirm...ughhhhh
  17. Really getting bored now

    I just talked to an excavator in town. He told me NOBODY is obeying the no work order...NOBODY. He said all the contractors are still doing everything business as usual, himself included. Non-essential work is continuing as if nothing even happened. He told me to keep working and just keep the...
  18. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    Yes, I'm in a small town though and the clinic and pharmacy are in the same building. Only one doctor lol The other sign and apparel shops have closed or only open on demand for medical signage.
  19. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    I'm not staying open to fill orders in a black van behind the alley down the road for some coronavirus cash from sketchy characters who "don't believe in this". They probably haven't washed their hands all day anyway...ugh gross. Lucky for me, I'm a couple blocks from the cop shop and right on...
  20. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    Just makes me mad. I’m a one person shop who can lock the store and do curbside pick up. Police chief sent out a statement stating he WILL be enforcing the law if anyone doesn’t follow it. However, every bar and restaurant in town is doing take out. Customers in the bar paying, cooks breathing...
