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.
One lady had 172 viruses and malware. But wanted me to fix her Face Book so she could tend to her garden. Since I charge by the hour and once I was able to access Face Book she wanted me to stop. I tried to explain she still had problems but she would not listen. 3 Days later she called back wanting her money back (she didn't get it) because the computer was doing the same thing and " Her crops needed picking". 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.
Birddog,
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.
