My apologies to you sir. All I ever said was there is a more appropriate place for your advertising.
Well OK then, I'm sorry I called you Nancy Pelosi. No one should have to bear such a terrible thing.

holy cripes you guys are ninnies. One of the best things about these forums is seeing what people do for a living.

Were you offended when:
- Tim Hancock built something cool and posted about it?
- Widebody911 designed and sold carbon fiber 911 cab hardtops?
- CJFusco posts about his books?
- MB911 fabricated and sold stainless exhaust for 911s?
- Trekkor posts pictures of a tiling job?
- A Quiet Boom made a fixture for drilling out exhaust studs?
- Speeder posted pictures of finish and trim work he did on a historic home?

There are people on this forum who do amazing things for a living or as a sideline. If that bothers you, maybe you should try to figure out why.

two questions, WTF is Guiding Light and what did you do with the temp?


Okay, one more question, how can you generate so much sand in vaginas with just a few posts? If only you would use your powers for good, rather than evil...

He's just bitter since Shaun hasn't asked him for designs of his ultra cool dragon sketches for the shirts...

I take exception to sand in vaginas. I got my first BJ because of that.
(actually it was sand on my penis, shhhhh...)

I speak to Shaun a few time s a year. Have for a few years now. Enjoy every conversation. He's a really good guy. Busts his ass for "The American Dream". G9, ehh. did not work out so what does Shaun do? He busts out Little Traveller. My kids have some of his product and I'm ashamed to say it's never cost me a dime. Some day's stuff just shows up.

His posts can be perceived as promoting his business but if any of you had a clue what went into making a living in his line of work you'd understand that a dozen posts a year here in OT won't generate enough revenue for a weeks worth of COG's.

You may not agree with his politics or posts but he's a good guy. I've seen evidence of his unsolicited generosity and compassion.

I consider him a friend and hope he feels the same about me.

Well Said stomachmonkey...
Shaun has been to my home. I've been to his place of business. He also has sent his product to a friend of mine no charge, (a female major in the Army), because I had a t-shirt she liked and I told him she liked it. He wouldn't let me pay for it. (You'd actually like it Snipe, "Don't Tread On Me" ).

Some of us are pacifists. Some of us are more aggressive. Neither is right neither is wrong. People can't help their nature.
It is interesting what this thread has become. And as all the others, (except the boobie thread ) it will eventually die.

If this is indeed such: Perhaps the most childish and ineffective attempt i have ever seen at an insult.

99% of the population wishes they could doodle a dragon like that in 15 minutes while half asleep. Frankly the dragon i drew is far too elaborate for a Tee-shirt print anyway.

LOL....

I would also like to chime and say that I have also received packages from Shaun containing a few shirts etc for my kids. He has never asked for payment nor would he accept payment when I pushed the issue. Hell, he knew I was looking for rear seat belt parts and one day a box showed up with a bunch of the parts I needed. Anyway, the world needs more people like this. He is building a company along with karma points along the way. When my daughters come downstairs with the "speedster" shirts Shaun sent them and they want to wear them because they know how happy it makes me,,,that is priceless.

But now I understand why Shaun has to ask for assistance when a MAN confronts him.

Shaun, did you keep the temp?

Has her work performance suffered or gotten better?

Does she talk about the BF at all?

John, the police advised me not to keep her and she has not contacted me since then. I do worry about her. After she burst into tears that time she confided that he's very controlling. She said that she doesn't have anywhere to go and since she has a dog, can't just leave him. I had never experienced anything like that in any work environment. I never saw any signs of physical abuse, but there were certainly signs of mental. He does not work. His demanding her work hours, and therefore how much she's been paid, only a guess, but I think she was hiding her pay from him and that's why he came over that morning. Another temp, 2 weeks earlier had said she's working 3 odd jobs.

Thank you Gentlemen, it really gladdens my heart to make a small, positive impact in the lives of good friends around me. There's a real joy in giving that is so much more precious and rewarding than paid invoices. Thank you.

Your dragon would take under an hour to go from computer to 30 printed shirts using decades old silkscreen techniques.

On a poly shirt, I could dye sub it in 2 minutes.

on any light colored shirt, I could use water-based direct to garment printing in 20 seconds.

From a printing technical perspective, there is nothing elaborate about your drawing. You could bring your sketch down to any local shop and have it done for $3.50 + cost of a shirt.

Well said Jake. People sharing their challenges and accomplishments is what makes OT great.

LOL, my tastes run a little, ummmm, more, uhhhh, sophisticated. But I do love dragons, and so do the customers of my stores. These sold out fast last year. The HPLV hand-bleaching on the black was a big hit. That dragon took 2 days to get right, well worth it.
