Too fellow tinters with Gila worries

November 22, 2006

Subject: FW: We're all in this together

A mouse looked through the

crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

"What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered -

he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard,

the mouse proclaimed the

warning.

"There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap

in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and

said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you

but it is of no consequence to me.

I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a

mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said,

"I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse,

but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.

Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said, "There is a

mousetrap in the house!

There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse.

I'm sorry for you,

but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected,

to face the farmer's mousetrap-- alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house --

like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the

darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake

whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife.

The farmer rushed her

to the hospital and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup,

so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's

main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued,

so friends and neighbors came

to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came

for her funeral, the farmer

had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them.

The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great

sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it

doesn't

concern you,

remember --

when one of us is threatened,

we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life.

We must keep an eye out

for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

We have to come together :gasp Or........ :gasp gila nut cracker

Good poem
What would be your suggestion on dismantling the Gila mousetrap?

my suggestion would be :beer it will unravel itself , how long have they sold film at autozone checker pepboys walmart home depot etc etc etc etc etc we all still have jobs right????

diy has been around since the start of time, its not going anywhere, and the small % of people who do their own tint and decide to stick with it and want to try and make a career out of it so be it, I'm not scared of any competition and if you have been at it long enough I don't think anyone should be IMO :beer I think that is how alot of tinters started out, but I could be wrong everyone knows :beer tintjobs when they see them, and I doubt there will be too many people going up to someone who has some diy tint job asking where they got it done so they can have theirs done :beer

but thats my :beer worth on it

:beer :beer

great life message there! Over the years I have many customers that thought they could tint their windows if they had the film cut so I cut it and sold it for 4 times my cost.............. the one thing all of them learned after coming back and buying more was that they never wanted to do that again! I usually made extra money not less. Word will get out very quick. Our glass is over half full.

Thats a good way to look at it

I all ways make them pay near full price and tell them we don't install the film you bought cause it will not match or I tell them my tinters have higher standards and want a better fit than a DYI................... usully the film is all crinkled up anyway!

happy turkey day to those TURKEYS :lol2 :lol2 :lol2
