Default Re: Pinstriping a clasic

I'M SO SHOCKED!!--take it off & leave it off & don't cool down so soon--He owes you such an apology!!!--Brothers can be such jerks..(I've raised 3 sons & I've seen this in action)..I really keep forgetting you're such a young man, your work shows more maturity..You've got such a handle on your tru flames & you must know & do not forget that you show great talent for pinstriping & you don't need to be treated badly--DO NOT change your signature unless you play with it more & make this decision yourself..(I've changed mine a couple of times)--
When I was a girl of 12 or so my family ended up in Pecos,Texas which was the home of Billy Sol Estes..(old history very shady wealthy oilman)..He had financed a camera store for a friend & wanted gold leaf window lettering on 2 large windows on both sides of the entrance--My father felt very suspicious of the job (it was a lot of money at the time $2000) & he made double sure & had 2 men swear twice there would be NO holdup of the money..when the job was completed & I was cleaning up all of our supplies I overheard my father in a dispute with the manager--appearantly Billy was out of town & the payment would have to go thru channels..Very loudly my father instructed me to get a razor blade--& I was about to get sick because this was an oustanding beautiful job..The manager caught my attention & said "little girl does he mean to do it" & I nodded my head yes..I kindof knew to work slowly & I judged myself where to start scraping--I used my head & started with Billy's name--by the time it was off, a car pulled up & my father got his money..we packed up & left but 2 years later while passing thru we noticed that he never did get the one name put back on..
I don't think your brother understands that you've passed the stage that he can be nit-picky & over critical--scrape it off & tell him to do it himself..If you fall in love with him again you can always do it over--
