My dad taught us boy's years ago that "YOU CAN PLEASE SOME OF THE PEOPLE SOME OF THE TIME, BUT NOT ALL THE PEOPLE ALL THE TIME" (I think I got this right.)
Henry Ford called Edison to come up from Florida to Detroit and help him work out the kinks in his production line. Thomas did and a few days later, he returned to FL. Sent Henry a bill and after he analized it, he sent Thomas a letter stating that he felt he was a little high in his bill, especially since he did not spend much time in Detroit. Edison reply that "The bill is for 10% sweat and 90% knowledge".:D:D You get what you pay for.

If he knew how to fix it he would not have called you. He is use to people that are not plumbers fixing things for a little or nothing. You hold your head up high, you did your job.:)Quote:

Don't forget computer repair (persons). I get this kind of crap all the time. I just write them off and tell them to find someone else. But for some reason they call back almost every time.Quote:

I charged double and she hasn't called back.
Funny thing is she said she had checked around and I was even cheaper than the high school boys that think they know it all and usually make matters worse.
