Stress Glasses

[geofore]

Has anyone used these to sell a customer on tree work?

I was looking up info on what to do to get rid of some porcupines doing some serious tree damage. I'll cage them and move them to another location but the glasses had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my chair.

I use mine all the time. Only diff is that I used some Superbs and stick some pink tint in the back of them. Everything is stressed=more work.

When you pick yourself up off the floor, do some more research on the glasses. They do have validity with proper knowledge. I've seen presentations on them and it is interesting.

They are definetly not in the same boat as Mood Rings.

I had thought I had seen something before about that, but I wasn't sure.

Something to do with a plant 'flourescenting' or something?

Do they come with instructions? Where does one find the proper knowledge?

I have tried a pair of glasses somewhat similiar, purple-ish tint to them, were being sold to "detect bugs and fungus" on "indoor"plants. I was a fertilizer sales guy at the time and I dealt with a handful of hydroponic stores, they carried them and couldn't help but show them off when they got the chance. I was indifferent to the effectiveness but my color seperation for that kinda stuff (like 3-D glasses) doesnt work so well as I have a bum eye.

OR,

Google answers everything. I don't have referance literature but if you pay me I can do the research

This was not a put down for the glasses. I do know the glasses will work to filter the colors. Do the glasses help you spot porcupines or porcupine damage any better than binoculars? You hand a pair of these glasses to the customer to take a look at the trees and they're looking at the ground thinking, Wow! Does this lawn need some help. Now you have to get them to look at the trees and quit looking at the lawn. The customer is telling you how bad the lawn looks and you're trying to sell the tree work. Better to hand the customer the binoculars and keep the glasses to yourself till the tree work is done or the lawnservice will be there while you're trimming trees.
I have had a lawnservice trim a lawn before the tree work started so it is less likely the tools get lost in the lawn when they are dropped. I do tell the customer it is for safety. An added cost but I'd hate to get a call that a lawnmower put a carabiner or skrewdriver through a window or a wedge stopped a mower engine cold, does your insurance cover this? An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Maybe the glasses aren't a bad idea if they can get the lawn mowed and raked before the treework starts.
