We have two kids, Elanor who is three and John Thomas who is 16 months. Ellie has an ear infection and John Thomas is teething. These two make for a looooong day.
Did you ever wonder why some animals eat their young?

A sunny day, a river's edge and a fishing pole (no fish required).
A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
If you totally blow an estimate on a sign (under charge) would you still make it for the price you quoted or try to negotiate a new price with the customer?

Bite the bullet and stick with your original quote. Unless you quoted lettering a 15 passenger van and the customer brings you a bus!
What is your least favorite type of job?

You DON'T! The time to start to survive kids is when they have kids of their own! At least you enjoy the grandkids and give them back afterwards.

Well, some of our kids think I'm great, and others think I'm grand, but I'm just a plain parent...is that close enough?
Terrible-twos...doesn't exist! That's just an excuse for getting you to give in to their tantrums- don't!
What's the smallest sign you've PAINTED ?

35' tall x 166' long scoreboard back at Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.
I would post a pic but my ex-partner refused to let me have any pictures from the shop.
I used to pump gas on weekends and holidays when I was in california. Great money and not alot going on save counting the merchandise over and over again...

Niles meet in 1989 was our first meet. What an eye opener!! We wandered around with our mouths open, gasping at the quality of work! We saw seminars that just blew us away! We were HOOKED!
What was the best sign you ever saw?

I'm saving them to burn in an alternate fuel vehicle.
I can't stand gas prices.
Would anybody else consider making their own ethanol to fuel vehicles? (Personal consumption is optional)
