    you know how they say a few bad apples....

     

    I may have been to quick on this thread.

     

    Looks like the trolls are well protected around here - that may change tomorrow, just got an email back from the President of US Cutter.

     

    He looked over things and said he will have a quick meeting tomorrow regarding my concerns.

     

    If there is anything you want to add to my concerns email him at his email on linkedin, his name is karl bowman, president and also les lewis, his #2

    i dont understand the title of this thread

     

    if you mean we are failures of war, I agree

     

    war is money, money is war - we are not currently fighting a war for any other reason

     

    these two guys only went after soft targets, kids and women and the unaware

     

    during iraq war, all you ever heard was BUSH LIED and HALLIBURTON!

     

    as true as these statements are, so true is the fact that all you hear now is crickets and how great Obama is doing, and we are still losing soldiers everyday in Assgarbagestan

     

    people in the world hate us because we have so much and because we are so ignorant to our own government

     

    we have gone from total liberty to total tyranny in less than 200 years

     

    this was TWO guys

     

    what will YOU do when its 2,000 guys in every state that WONT go after the soft targets?

     

    this was a govt sponsored attack, ,just like 9-11, just like Oklahoma City, Just like all the rest.

     

    we can't have the best military in the world who cant get out of the middle east

     

    you can't have it both ways

     

    these guys were not extremists, they were just half ignorant terrorists that lived here since they were kids

     

    extremists are the guys that make these two yahoos look like girl scouts

     

    extremists are the ones that go after govt first and control the population second, like Obama, Bush, etc.

     

    Patriots are the guys that make the extremists look like girl scouts, and rescue YOU from tyranny

    I think your pinch wheel is set to far to right, look and see

     

    in this pic you will see a red dotted line, do not set pinch wheel to the right of this line

     

    you will also see a scratch line I put on mine to help me line up my vinyl square, once you get a peice tracking right as rain, scratch this line (or draw) on your platform down the side of that vinyl

     

    you will also notice on your cutter on the middle of upper carriage a white  upside down U or something like this |---|  dont set your picnch wheel in this area either

    Because I've lost nearly all faith in humanity, I can't help but wonder how many people walk into a business storefront like Slice&Dice has and utter words to the effect of "Uh, yeah... do you make signs here?"

     

    I base that on the number of times per day I answer the phone with "Hello, <name of business>" and get immediately asked "uh, yeah... is this <name of business>?"

    lol, no doubt Jones

     

    I own a handful of businesses and I used to have multiple #'s and phones so I could be specific when answering. After years of that same thing your talking about I said "what's the point?" So now I have just consolidated everything down to one number and just answer "Hello this is Jeff" - Callers still ask the same questions first, "Yeah is this .....?"  and I save about $1200 year in phone services.

    I agree with Jay, you should all get out of the sign business today, just send your customers to me   :lol:

     

    Im new to the vinyl cutting business, sort of... I worked part time for Fast Signs (20 years ago) so I already had the application and technology down (much easier now though).. but I have a very strong graphics background which translates into more stuff than most could imagine..

     

    I would imagine most people here have some sort of graphics background....IMHO. There's nothing wrong with starting a new business on a shoe string budget, it's just better to have some sort of idea about your skill and limitations thereof. 

     

    That does NOT mean that one should start practicing dentistry in their garage just because they have good teeth and are handy with a drill.... well,,,,unless you are REAL handy with a drill (that's different).

     

    In today's economy, you got to stick every iron in the fire that you can and take what you can get at a price you live with. And don't be afraid to ask for cash! And don't screw up! 

     

    Now... sorry I have to go - My 2:30am surgery patient just showed up for her addadicktomy... gotta go bye

    wait a sec... lemme get my sunglasses on....

     

     

    yeah man! jeep graphics are nice!

     

    now I'm going to sue you for burning my corneas - everywhere I look I see a big circle with "jays place" in it   ;D

    Thank you...My WORK area is theraputic(spell) as I tend to think about my dad(past 2010) and punish myself mentally as I didnt become what he thought I should have so I listen to "words" and it reflects on me and well I get worked up about him bein gone...

     

    I can't imagine my Dad being gone. He is 78, works with me almost everyday. If I leave him at home he goes down hill as my Mom just yammers at him all day but if I work him like a rented mule he tends to stay healthy. I am very sorry for your loss - I know you miss him very much or you would not have posted that. I am sure he just wanted you to be happy and healthy!
