Those in the corporate world who value greater profit above loyalty and ethics are themselves stupid. [Affluent, but stupid.] If they don't keep their O/Os satisfied, they won't keep them at all. Maybe that works when they can find replacements easily enough, but it won't last forever, and even...

'S ok, I'm going to Alabama. And I'm going to really enjoy taking a shower & doing laundry, too, lol. But most of all, I'll enjoy getting out of the truck without putting on the snow boots, heavy coat, hat, scarf, and gloves, first. Freeeedom! :D

The first words out of [the interviewee] Bruce Jenkins' mouth raised my hackles: "we are a generation of lazy people" - really? Not the twenty-somethings I know! Especially not the one I raised, who works full time and goes to school, and has never expected anyone to 'give' her anything. Neither...

The weather boffins issued a wind chill advisory for tomorrow morning in Chicago of -20 to -30, and I am seriously sick of this snow, wind, and ice stuff. And that was before I stepped out of the truck at a dock in snow up to my knees! Cue the 'short people' jokes....:rolleyes:

I don't think it's a matter of paying attention, it's more like selective perception: anything that doesn't involve "unleashing our military might" [bet that caused a tingle or two!] it doesn't count as a plan. Because killing people and breaking stuff [like entire villages & cities] is all they...

"Raising rates to cover those that don't pay" is the rationale for pooling the fuel surcharge, too, lol. Funny, LOS didn't peep over being forced to pay for workers comp insurance, which is much worse than Obamacare. I've paid a lot into it, for others to benefit when they get hurt, but I've...

Flats East Bank developers want authority to raise taxes in district | cleveland.com Mayor Frank Jackson has vetoed it, but according to Councilman Joe Cimperman, it has been done in other cities. This sounds like a recipe for cronyism [the ability to use taxpayer funds to pay consultants...

I'm still concerned about the issue of unstable individuals who want maximum outrage [like the terrorists] and choose schools to prove it. The arming of some teachers & officials sounds good, until the first time one of them shoots an innocent, and then they'll all change their minds tout...

In Florence, Y'all, where there's about 3", and all I've been hearing all day is plows & sirens. Heading up to Mi tomorrow, hope the roads are ok.

For real, dude! "Obama said that Christians were the cause of most of the problems" [at the Prayer Breakfast]? Actually, at the Prayer Breakfast, they were - but that's not what he meant, I bet, lol. Obama "weakens our defenses"? Um, did he not just propose a 7% increase in the Defense budget...

Like seat belt & helmet laws, Obamacare is a great big gift to the insurance industry - like they deserve it.:mad:

Pilgrim: I am 100% behind the right to bear arms, but I'm also troubled by the ease with which people who cannot be trusted can obtain weapons, so I feel some common sense restrictions are needed. Damifino what they are, [except the 'loopholes' like no background checks at gun shows need to be...

In several places, [including Cleveland, Oh] they are now allowing private enterprise to raise taxes, too - why am I not surprised? More to the point, why don't the citizens even know it's happening?

It's comedy and tragedy, wise people and wise guys, real truckers [some of whom drive a van] and newbies - who could ask for anything more? :)

If you seriously think either winter or Justin Bieber were ever cute [gag me!] or exciting [puhleeze!], then you need to stop drinking. Or start. ;)

*waves* Hello yourself - always nice to lure the lurkers in, lol. Welcome!

It's not just the "younger" generation it appeals to - I think it's great to see a POTUS who isn't afraid to have fun when it's appropriate, even laughing at himself sometimes. Being "Presidential" shouldn't mean being weighted down with the gravitas of it all 24/7, I hope. Besides, I think...

I hope you posted this for general knowledge, and not as a response to the OP, because if he/she hasn't found anywhere in nearly 5 years, he/she isn't capable enough to drive for a living. Just sayin......;)

This is one I've never run into, and it is just mind boggling, frankly. If I have a BOL that shows freight to be delivered to that address, I'd say if they refuse it, I could return it to the shipper. They're welcome to see [and make a copy of] the vehicle registration and my license, but who...

What I read in Obama's speech was simply a reminder about "people who live in glass houses", in order to forestall the serious [as in bodily injury & death] Muslim bashing that inevitably occurs when one fanatic part of a larger group commits atrocities. It's the same speech we heard [not from...
