  1. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    That would be HILARIOUS. Seriously. As much as she is acting out with some of the emotional instability of her mother, the cold hard truth is that she is a chip off the old block (me) when it comes to her personality. She views anyone telling her what she should BELIEVE with disdain - especially...
  2. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Thanks Jill :smile: I will admit that over the years I have said less than pleasant things about my ex - but only when my daughter has been on the edge of a total mental breakdown from all of the lies, verbal abuse, guilt trips, and all the rest of the crap that the ex has piled on her. Of...
  3. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    If she was 18, then that would be fine. But she's 14. Also, that's why I feel like i CAN'T just send her to her mom's. My ex is the type who will be very popular from the ages of 14-18. Liz will be allowed to do whatever she wants to do, with little to no consequences. Right now, after trying...
  4. Canvas profile

    Just got in some art canvas that is eco-sol printable. Starting to try to get into a couple of new markets. In any event, does anyone know where I can get a decent profile for this stuff?
  5. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    I wish this was as simply as picking our fights. This has nothing to do with something that she wants to do or doesn't want to do. It has to do with who she is becoming as a person - someone who is willing to hurt anyone as long as she is getting what she wants... Her passions are art and...
  6. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Well, i can say this - I'm not wired that way, and it won't ever be that way at our home. If that's what she is looking for, she isn't going to find it here. I guess the hardest part is the utter and complete (almost pathological) selfishness. That is her mother's biggest problem. I had hoped...
  7. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Yup - and that's the worst part about all of this. She has never been a bad kid. Popular, cheerleader (varsity this year as a freshman), well adjusted. Couldn't stand her mother (which increased my opinion of her judgement skills...lol). And then, out of nowhere....All of this. As a father I...
  8. What is wrong with the State of Florida?

    That's how Obama did it! (I couldn't resist...)
  9. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    We have very firm rules and limits. I stick to them - my ex doesn't. She routinely loses privileges and gets harsher restrictions. She is now on birth control.
  10. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Emancipation? As in, she's responsible for herself and parental rights are severed? Not sure I'm ready for, or want that....
  11. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    This, for me, is the worst part about it. Last night was the worst. She had full knowledge of how bad she was hurting my wife and I - and she didn't care even one little bit. As a matter of fact, she told my wife, who as been more of a mother to her than her egg donor, "I know we've never had a...
  12. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Well, the good news is that it isn't anything criminal or drug related (at least not that I know of). Basically, her mother and I got divorced when she was around 5 months old. My current wife and I started dating when she was about 10 months old. We have been the parental unit of balance and...
  13. How does one survive raising a teenage daughter?

    Seriously. How does one do this. In the last month I have been hit with more crap, general hurtfulness, and terrible decision making than I have ever seen before. You love a kid, provide for them, are the one who picks up the pieces every time their worthless, bi-polar, POS mother craps on...
  14. How would you answer this?

    I think that everyone is potentially missing something here.... What kind of packaging are they creating? Is it retail? shipping, POP, etc.? Is there an opportunity for a partnership? Do they have clients in place already? Back in the day (when I was running sales at another sign company), I...
  15. Local Farmers Market Logo

    Very, VERY nice Joe! I did something similar a couple of years ago, although mine lacked all the nice little finishing touches yours has! When I grow up, I want to be like Joe Diaz!
  16. How to wrap goalie mask?

    Ummm....There are about 5,000,000 variables that you haven't provided us with. A picture of the mask would be helpful. Also, what is 6000? Are you referring to an Arlon product here?
  17. Need a Merchant Member who can....

    ....direct to substrate print/CNC a project for me. Two pieces, one is 84"x59" finish size, the other is 60"x48" finish size. I'm in Ohio. The CNC is a fairly simple outline job - Bowling pins/ball. I'm in Ohio. I realize that shipping is the enemy :smile:
  18. Perforated Vinyl Liquid lamimate

    I never lam perf. I've got lteraloy hundreds of pieces on the road. No issues. I tell customers to expect 18-24 months before it needs replaced.
  19. Prohibitive cost of digital LED Signs

    Watchfire and Daktronics are really the only brands that I would even consider offering to my clients. LED technology is expensive. That's a fact. You can buy crap out of China all day long for 1/5th of the price, but it is exactly that - crap. You also have to assemble all the boards into a...
  20. What would you do? Hand drawn sketch to custom clipart

    Simple - tell them it's your shop rate * hours needed (estimate the hours). For me, that's probably a 2-3 hour job. Just for the art.
