  1. Great Song.....

    I like the message of the song. Here are a few of may fave dump/dumpee tunes, in no particular order: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byEGjLU2egA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOzayDpWoI&ob=av2e http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0LAs7X5ybE&ob=av2e...
  2. Big HDU sign installed today

    ...looks like genn-you-wine gold leaf to me.
  3. What are your pet peeves

    Oh yeah. I hate that. Like they want CHIROPRACTOR in 6" letters on a 8"x24" sign. Or following architect spex stating something similar, in Arial of course.
  4. should I come back after lunch?

    His worm did it.

    Avery strikes again? Love....Jill
  7. Big HDU sign installed today

    Thanks for the closeup! Absolutely gorgeous.
  8. The Creepy Customer thread....

    She lives in the next township over from me. Everyone here (except maybe me) is just as batsh!t crazy about her as that guy is. Love...Jill PS I have lots of creepy customers, told lots of tales about 'em here.
  9. Trouble sending picture messages/Verizon

    Hahaha I'd take a picture of it if I could... Is that the slot that looks like a teeny USB port, where I charge it? I may have to visit the dreaded Verizon store. It's like the waiting room in Beetlejuice. :)
  10. Trouble sending picture messages/Verizon

    Oh I hate this phone but it was free, and what I'll need for next year. Supposedly it does work, and any other time I've been over there nothing else did without some sort of expensive plan. I just want to be able to get a picture of my mom developed. I'm only doing one at a time but if I try to...
  11. What Do Like Best About The Sign Biz?

    • The smell of paint and turpentine • The customer who says "I don't care what you do, just make it look good" • Going to pinstriping meets and hanging out • when something turns out as I'd expected • d!cking around in Corel • new referrals from pleased or favorite customers • wall jobs with my...
  12. Big HDU sign installed today

    Lovely. How 'bout dem apples! That's my fave part. Love....Jill
  13. Trouble sending picture messages/Verizon

    Click the link where I wrote Verizon. It's a crappy little flip phone. I got it because it's global and I've been planning a trip to Ireland next summer if my funds improve.
  14. Trouble sending picture messages/Verizon

    No not those kind of pictures. I have a couple in my phone which I want to text to others or to email to myself, but get the message "maximum file size exceeded" I have a Verizon which I hate but this makes me hate it even worse. I've looked in Verizon's forum to no avail. Tried emptying out...
  15. Signs 101 Membership Qualifications

    I have more of a problem with wanna-be CriCut, soccer mom/carnie types joining 101, in all honesty. That and brokers pretending to be sign guys. I don't like, for example, some companies having in-house sign makers but like Pete said, they are not really competition to me.
  16. What are your pet peeves

    Bob, without a sense of humor I'd be like that guy in "Falling Down". Seriously. One more general pet peeve: • People who do not exfoliate their elbows and have a dirty looking buildup of dead skin on 'em. Is everyone checking their elbows now? Good.
  17. Need some critique

    First one, no cartoon. Don't use clip art in a logo, draw your own or pay someone to do it. Don't mess with that nice script with the weird arch thing. I love Sarah Script as much as I love Chuck Borges but I think with a name like "signature" you might be better off using LHF Sophia or...
  18. What are your pet peeves

    In the sign world: • Signmakers who break all design rules, thinking they are better than that. • All-Caps in a display alphabet • Two scripts in the same layout • unnatural colored drop shadows, say yellow on a blue background • the same colors in a prismatic font, think of the light source for...
  19. Sign Business trends

    I'm deader than Janet Reno's girdle so I had to get a real job 4 days a week. This is my 26th year, and in the past I noticed a trend. Jan: dead Feb: slow to medium March: balls-out busy April: insanely busy May:busy June:starts out busy then goes to medium July: slow August: slow Sept:medium...
  20. Correct paint for fiberglass lighted sign face

    Grip-Flex might work, but it's expensive and a pain to use (at least it was to me) You have to use their reducer and it must be sprayed in about 12 mist coats in overlapping patterns. It's real sticky and stinky. Unless this is some special sign that you are trying to save, I'd look into...
