Not any kangaroos in Austria?! What about Waltzing Matilda, huh?!:+

I'd say it's not that their previous jobs were so great, but that their brains are off duty. Badmouthing your employer/carrier in public is not just unacceptable, (would you like it if they were badmouthing you in public?) - it's stupid, too. You don't know who might be overhearing, do you...

Is my cellphone deductible, & if so, how much of it? (I am paying for my teenage daughter's line, which is not a business expense, but the bills clearly differentiate charges for each line). Thanks for your time in answering, because I haven't seen this question addressed anywhere before.

Thanks - I needed that! :) :) :)

Rich - you are sooo funny! And I'm looking forward to meeting you and Kathy too, & everyone else - but I'm really wishing I hadn't read that comment just now, because I couldn't help laughing out loud. While that's usually one of my favorite things to do, I am currently holed up in a motel in...

Lou - I can't stand it, I gotta ask: do you do anything, besides find cool stuff for our entertainment?! Because you do it so well, I don't see where you find the time to do anything else, lol. ;)

Terriffic post! You didn't mention one of my personal favorite activities, though: watching the tourists go barefoot, & discover sandspurs! (Simple pleasures are the best, lol) As for your wife being mad - if you've been married longer than 5 minutes, you oughta know there are times when you...

Thanks to everyone who contributed really good ideas - I especially like the wasp spray (which I might have to use for it;s intended purpose on my van, as they do nest behind the outside mirrors.) I only hope that if I ever need to use it against a bad guy, I will be calm enough to point it at...

Seems to me that with every load paying the same, the loads to turn down now are the ones going out of the freight zones - can't afford to deadhead very far, hoping it will even out with a high paying load. I know I'm making less money the last few months, but I'll hang in & see how it goes when...

Well, there goes your invitation to Hilary's Inauguration! :P Really, Leo, aren't you exaggerating just a wee bit? Some of us leftist liberal types actually believe that the men who wrote the Constitution knew what they were talking about, and they included the right to bear arms for a good...

I'm sure TheOldProf is a lot quicker with the camera than the boomerang...(send pictures of Aborigines, if you get any!):+ BTW, TallCall - my aunt yelled at me for having Willie singing "On the road again" on my answering machine - she said it IS NOT FUNNY! Some people just have no sense of...

Oh yeah - when I set off the overheight signal on the turnpike, due to about a foot of snow on the trailer, the attendant told me to drive thru, then uturn & come thru again, which would knock the snow off. I did, & it worked - but I was charged the extra $30 when I exited - 4 hrs later! x(

I think, Tec, you might be mixing up 2 recent posts - mine, where I was fined $30 for being overheight on the Ohio Turnpike, and another driver who was given a $250 ticket for not scaling his van in Michigan, because they dropped the weight for pulling in to 5000 lbs, but didn't publicize the...

Aren't pit bulls illegal (if unregistered) in some states, too?

I know those arguments well, lol, - I've had them with myself. My marshmallow side feels sorry for anyone who is reduced to begging - but when the beggar is a male who doesn't have any obvious infirmities that would prevent him from working for a living, I get annoyed pretty quick. (Just as...

Using beepers to alert waiting drivers that a shower is available would be great, and if there were a way to get a massage, even just neck & shoulders, (oh yeah - & JoeBob's feet, too, he's weird that way), it would be wonderful. And don't forget the trees!:)

I was confused even before Michigan tossed this firecracker - my cargo van, which weighs 6300 lb, is titled as a van, but plated (in Ohio) as a truck. Are they deliberately trying to write rules so difficult to understand that it means whatever they say it means - this time? There sure is a...

"White coat syndrome" can be caused by nervousness, (perfectly understandable when your job may hang in the balance), and it can also be caused by anger (like I have when I've had to wait an hour to see the doctor). Blood pressure can be temporarily elevated by many other factors as well. and...

"Tolerance is a virtue" & I am pretty virtous - until your actions have a negative impact on my well-being, or that of my loved ones. After that, I'm not very nice anymore. That's who I am, & I'm too old to change now.....:o
