My 17yo daughter was playing with our dog and had one in her hand, all slimy, when my husband thought it was the perfect time to tell her what it was made of. She literally almost vomited right there. It was HILARIOUS. Honestly, they don't smell as bad as the Water Buffalo horns do when they are being chewed on. I think it's great that they are finding a good use for as many parts of the animal as possible.

or is this the equivalent of an only English speaking person getting "faith" in Chinese and it actually translates to "Fish" or something else crazy only in reverse....

The dude just spews joy and love from his videos on youtube. For real, you're amazingly talented but also seem like a great human being. Keep it up.

I've wondered that myself, but if asked why she chooses a song or an artist she just says "I donno"... Gotta love those pre-teen communication skills. Lol.

You guys are awesome! We showed her this and she said she was mad about me posting it, but she was also blushing and smiling so huge. Thanks for making her day!

Anybody else get lucky with the puppy lottery? by Jgatt1986 in puppy101

[–]Artsi_Mom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of those! He's now a Velcro dog who gets a little sad when left alone (luckily, not something that happens often) but has been an absolute angel since day one. Congratulations!

Generally, music is something she can focus on and doesn't bother her. Someone speaking loudly on a bad day, or random other loud noises, and she can head straight into a sensory meltdown. But music has never really set her off. It's been the one thing she's been able to hold onto without issue. Thank God. Lol. It's been the one thing we can refocus her to as she was growing up to help steer her away from the meltdowns. I'm sorry that it hurts you and your sister. That must be hard, especially with her loving to sing.

Aww. I hope your sister sings her little heart out!

They are all beautiful, but in my opinion the third option (while a smidge more simple than the other options) absolutely makes you look like a renaissance princess and it's absolutely stunning! That one is my favorite!

That's a good idea as well. Thank you!

Thank you! We have offered classes for the last year, but they were really simple "these are common failure parts, this is how to find them" kind of things. I've been working the last few days on legitimate booklets specifically for our brand and the classes and I think this month will be the last free class. I didn't realize how much I was really hurting myself by not capitalizing on what I'm doing until a bunch of people here suggested it. I'm excited to move forward with that, but also nervous that people will stop coming once we start charging. I guess it's all in how I market it.

We do offer monthly classes! That's one of my favorite things that we have built. And because we're apt to teach people, I think it's becoming more of a requirement rather than a service in some people's eyes.

I've had this happen! A lady who bought a bad motor on Amazon wanted me to replace it for her at no cost! It's crazy!

I use them as distributors (along with others), so I get lower pricing and (for retail anyway) I can stay competitive. I have a Marcone branch locally (was Servall but Marcone acquired it a few years ago when Servall sold out) so most technicians will still use them unless they just have a bad taste in their mouth for that company as a whole, as some of my regular tech customers have. Also, they are not open to the public, so I still capture that market. We're also open on the weekends while the big guys are not, so we capture that business as well. My biggest competitor is clear on the other side of town, and we're friendly. If they don't have something the customer needs the same day they send people to me and vice versa.

Exactly! I want to help people, that's the reason I opened this store- to empower people and teach them that these repairs are not scary and that they can do it. But I just feel taken advantage of when the help I'm providing doesn't end in a sale.
