    December 2014

    I guess I just can't hear capital letters. Really, though, to me it sounds like the house, the car, the lawnmower - all things you appreciate, but still things. [And still much better than the "affectionate" nickname my ex had for me: bimbo. Yes, he really did think it was sweet.]

    December 2014

    Hawk, that is purely beautiful! I hear the "ball & chain", & I envision someone who has to be dragged along, slowing you down, someone you can't get rid of - that's just sad. My pet peeve is "the" wife [or husband, whatever], as if they aren't even a person. Sure, it's supposed to be...

    December is a time to remember

    In case you hadn't noticed, Jeanie is generally the ringleader for our little side trips, now that Linder Caffee has gone all big league [jk, Linder is just too busy these days]. It's great to get out of our normal routine [rut?] once in awhile, so I'm glad they make me do it. ;)

    Sometimes things make no sense,imho.

    I agree with the mother's statement that the principal made the wrong call, but I don't agree when she said they're punishing her son for being a boy - my daughter is one of many 'girls' who enjoy shooting. They're punishing him because 'zero tolerance' is unreasonable. Life isn't black OR...

    December is a time to remember

    About a dozen of us did the ziplines through the caves under Louisville a couple years ago during MATS, it was fun!

    December is a time to remember

    I do the same when it's cold, like convincing myself that oatmeal is a good dinner, lol. [It would be, but I don't like sweet things when I'm hungry - weird.] Anything to get out of getting out of the truck when it's cold!

    December 2014

    So when you see their slogan "Inspire the next", it brings to mind something like 'fustercluck'? Hahaha- gotta love a slogan that lets you be the creative genius! Seriously, the most mystifying slogan anywhere, ever. ;)

    Darwin awards nominee

    I agree that the Braniac Brothers ought to be eligible for a Darwin Award, but I'm not so sure either of them qualifies [never had or will have children]. And I sincerely hope the survivor goes to prison for the rest of his miserable worthless life.

    Layover pay

    The company should tell you how to do it, but in this case, it looks as if layover [if any] should be included in the pay for the load. When you agree to pick up on Friday for delivery on Monday, any pay for 'layover' needs to be discussed with dispatch before you accept the load. Otherwise...

    looking at a broker(info)

    Welcome to the Monkey House, and thanks for playing along, lol. We can be silly, [give us an opening and most of us can get a semi through it], and we can be very informative: your choice. Are you looking for freight for a vehicle you own, or what?

    Jump in and say something

    Dam: why won't you 700 people say something?! OK, since you didn't, here's a great giftwrapping idea: [and I didn't even think of it myself - though I might have to buy one of my daughters a vacuum next year, lol]

    Jump in and say something

    Attaboy, greasytshirt! It's been demonstrated many times: people who have less are more generous than the more fortunate. Maybe there's a cause & effect relationship there, but I'd rather know people who are rich in stories, and humor, and knowledge, than money. I can make money, but good people...

    looking at a broker(info)

    You mean the one that was a guy who knew a whole bunch of other guys? That one? I don't know him - sorry.:D

    How to find drivers ?

    An owner like you describe [doesn't treat drivers like human beings, thinks money is more important than anything else] won't be in business for too long, because it takes good drivers to succeed, and he/she won't get or keep them. There will be service failures and breakdowns that could have...

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    Turtle: 'preciate the history lesson, but I already know about Allen Pinkerton and his work, and I disagree that the police are used to protect the "they" the OP refers to. [Because they can afford their own security forces, and they certainly have them.] The US military, absolutely, but not the...

    North Korea wuz framed, lol

    No, North Korea Didn?t Hack Sony - The Daily Beast I believe him - but why don't the government 'experts' know this stuff? Or is it just another distraction, and they don't care because: North Korea.

    How to find drivers ?

    When I drove t/t, I slid my own tandems, and loaded/unloaded as required. I'd rather hurt myself than ask for help - which isn't really a good thing, but it is what it is. And when male drivers asked me to do something they couldn't, [reach a dropped part their fingers were too big to get into...

    Two NYPD Officers Dead After Execution-Style Ambush

    Just because you shout with all caps, it doesn't make the words true. You're always proclaiming what "they" REALLY want, but you've never provided a shred of fact to prove it. Because the truth is, you can't. All you can do is repeat it, and you do, ad nauseum. The same claptrap, SHOUTED...

    911. Santa Can't Keep His Delivery Schedule. What Expedite Carrier Will He Call?

    In most populations both sexes grow antlers and it is the only cervid species in which females grow them as well as males.[29] In the Scandinavian populations, old males' antlers fall off in December, young males' fall off in the early spring, and females' fall off in the summer. It's either...

    911. Santa Can't Keep His Delivery Schedule. What Expedite Carrier Will He Call?

    Load One, because management is capable of acknowledging errors, [rare & inadvertent though they are, of course], and asking for advice [which they may or may not heed] on how to fix it. My first choice would be the carrier that acknowledges that every one of the reindeer [who aren't part of...
