Showers

Just read a post from someone driving a Van and always having to pay for the showers.

On your CB, ask over 19 if anyone has a shower coupon they would sell or give and than take it 15 as to eliminate most of the other commentors who just want to mess up any conversation they are not involved in.

Most people will give these away rather than see them dissipear in another day or two. I know I have given mine away for a couple of dollars, WIN,WIN.

Explained well enough for you now Doggie.

Really can't say that I would sell a shower ticket unless I was on the verge of starvation. If I bought something, then I may ask a few bucks for it, but a perk, just don't think I would do it, and have not done it in the past when ever I had extra ones.

I am POSITIVE that you have no idea what I really meant to say.

I am POSITIVE that your "nice real nice" comment was not sincere!!

Positive enough for ya??

What we see as "nice real nice" is you, a former expediter, now tractor trailer, taking advantage of your former expediter "friends" in selling them something that is a perk to you and you won't use anyway.

Obviously you don't want our opinion so try and take tr's advice. He's got the right attitude.

But the intent to embarrass someone is pretty clear...

As many of your own comments employ sarcasm (which is no substitute for argument, you know), of course you know it when you see it.

If BP's getting a few bucks for something he has no use for is 'taking advantage', then our entire capitalist structure is, as well.

Why BP would want your opinion, when it's just a meanspirited effort to make him look small, (which, IMO, backfired), is the real question...
And tr's attitude is the right one- for folks who expect a handout.
I think BP called it right: some people just wait for an opportunity to pounce on other posters, but we don't hear much from them otherwise. Personally, I'd rather hear too much from those whose intent is goodhearted, than otherwise.

Posters beware,this is the kind of critisism you will receieve if you dare attack one of the "inner circle" here on EO.

This all started with me questioning Broompilot whether he was selling or giving his shower credits away,and if you read his original post,he wasn't exactly real clear on that.

Myself, I have a problem with people who in one post try to come across as all warm and fuzzy and professing their christianity,to turn right around and try and make a few bucks on the backs of the very people they know have the roughest time out here(van drivers).

WWJD.......DD.

Inner circle? If that refers to a core group of posters who are frequently here, posting real questions & answers & help & jokes, then I guess we've got one. But you need worry about criticism only if you 'dare' (that just kills me, lol) to attack anyone whose sole intent was to share some info that might be of use to someone else. (And we usually overlook the spelling errors, too, unless they're so frequent as to make your words unintelligible).

And it didn't occur to you that he could have meant both, at different times, under different circumstances?

BroomPilot is one member I know personally, and can attest to his generous heart - he'd literally give the shirt off his back to someone in need. Which doesn't include anyone & everyone who is driving a van, as you seem to assume.
The attack on BP was unjustified and uncalled for, IMO.

I'm assuming nothing,just commenting on what I read in his post.And you are right,there are far too many "vannies" to even concider giving "the shirt off his back". or even a shower credit that he wouldn't be using.DD.

Just because someone drives a van doesn't mean they are penniless. They very well just may not have earned shower credits as quickly as they want to use them. I might give away a shower and I might trade it for a liter of Dr. Pepper or maybe a slice of apple pie. I might even offer the $10 shower for $3-4. Whatever the case, it would only be a mutual agreement between parties. You aren't taking advantage of someone who willfully agrees. It's certainly not something to berate someone for.

And I agree with that,but if you pan back on this whole fiasco,I did not start this beration,I merely asked a question and BP took offense.DD.

Can usually be spotted by their chosen usernames, IMO.
Actual names are usually an actual person. Most of whom are willing to stand behind their words.
A username that conveys a superior status is frequently no more than wishful thinking.
A username that conveys a personal association is one that has to be evaluated on an individual basis = some are eagles, some turkeys, and a few are just vultures, you know?
Are we having fun, yet?

So now we want to go back to third grade and attack a user name. That's funny, there's a cute little story that goes with my username that involves my kids and such but I won't waste my breath trying to share it with YOU.

Go on with the childish games, it's just another example to all just what happens here when one disagrees with the wrong person.

Now if I could just learn to disagree with those that YOU disagree with...........THEN WE'D BE HAVING FUN, WOULDN'T WE??

Well now did everyone have a nice Thanksgiving? I know I sure did.
The food was great and so was the company, always nice to share it with friends and family. I hope you all enjoyed yours too.

Well got to go for now, for some reason I feel like a hot shower.
