Taught by a successful salesman I learned not to talk about Religion or Politics with clients.
Whenever they try to bring things up that are taboo, I steer the conversation away.

Design and price are the reasons for the meeting.

One of the strangest clients lingered on politics in the first meeting. After, I Googled their name to find a Facebook page with photos of them in costumes performing some odd bondage acts.

I priced the job considerably higher than it should have been. A week later the contractor notified me. They went with another cabinet company! Good.

Two rules. No Religion and no Politics.

I'm revising that to include a third rule. Nothing... not a word about the wife's looks.
I went to one appointment and the guy had a 'trophy wife' with stunning looks like a fashion model. I could see he was waiting for me to say something.
Sorry... no can do and that's a rule.

By definition: Yelp is to give a quick, sharp, shrill cry, as a dog or fox.
There is a website named Yelp.
It's intent is to offer a service where people give reviews of businesses (typically restaurants) they have visited.
You can rate (by stars) 1 to 5 where 5 stars is the most liked rating.
Along with the rating reviewers have room to explain their experience, what they like or dislike about a place.

Let's say you want to try a new restaurant and you check their Yelp page to find 1 or 2 five stars and 20 reviews only giving one star. Would that change your mind on going there?

Reading the reviews you might find people like the food and prices but dislike the long wait to get service. So the patrons may give them a poor rating.

Air Conditioning and auto repair companies often get some harsh reviews. Many are warranted and 'Yelpers' love to report dishonest businesses.

However, there are 2 sides to some of the people doing the reports. The person doing the report leaves a trail of who they yelped on and it appears some people cannot give a like to any business they tried. I call them 'the professional complainers' as nothing pleases them. They go around only giving negative reviews.

Maybe there should be a rate the reviewer where the other people can yelp on the yelper who cannot find any business they like!

After-all, the reason for the 'yelp' is to alert people to avoid a bad business.
So why would you go to a restaurant that got 40 negative reviews?

The Dollar Store announced they will be upping their prices to $1.25 starting in the first quarter of 2022.

Today I was at a local display garden filled with flowers.
I was there to take butterfly and hummingbird photos and accomplished both.
While waiting for some hummingbirds, I spotted 2 birds of another species......human.

One was TRYING to take a photo of a butterfly with her phone, but the insect wasn't too fond
of her getting close and thus flew away. I heard the 2 gals speaking Spanish, so I uttered "miras !"
and turned my camera around so she could see a full screen image of a monarch butterfly on a flower.

She exclaimed "muy bonita !" and called her friend over to see. Her friend took a look and also stated
"muy bonita !" and then the two of them started asking me a bunch of questions.
However, it was too fast and too complex for me to understand in Spanish. So I uttered,
"Yo comprendo solo un poco espanol." With that, she started shouting out for someone else, who was
apparently not too far away behind us. It was her boyfriend, who understands both English and Spanish well.

So, he asked me if I take pictures professionally.. I replied "yes" and I asked him if he and his girlfriend planned to get married. He said, "Yes, that is the plan." I joked that I heard yes from him, but I did not hear yes from his girlfriend. He smiled and said, "that's because she doesn't understand English".

I laughed and said, "oh right".

At that moment a hummingbird arrived at the flowers and I said look and pointed at the bird.
All 3 of them were oooing and ahhhing while the bird darted to different flowers.
I then showed them the pictures of that hummingbird, that I had just taken and more oooos ans ahhhhs were elicited.

So, they hired me to take photos of them in the park later this week. I'm guessing that, if they turn out well (of course they will), they will probably hire me to do their wedding.

And yes, you will get to see the photos........... of the butterflies and hummingbird in a few weeks.
But (in the voice of the Soup Nazi)....... No photos of people for you !
