    Strange!!!!

    Pembroke, NY is populated by farmers and endless entrepreneurs who strive to come up with unique ways to sell firewood to campers on their way to Darken Lake. It's Boonieville. Far from dangerous. The big scary slick urban guy rolling out from under your truck probably dropped his lighter. Jeez...

    Truckstops

    Cleanest? The one nearest me when I'm in Emergency mode. Safest: ditto Personal Favorite: same It's sad when you take notice of an exceptionally clean restroom instead of adding it to your list of OMG places to stop. And as a tall, healthy farm girl, I still encounter rest areas and...

    Essential Oil

    I owned a business that made soap and other skin care products, and used essential oils for fragrance and therapeutic value. A fabulous source of information is Essential Oil University - they also used to sell EOs, but not sure if they still do. Google them and sign up for an account. It's free.

    Nyc parking for sight seeing suggestions

    We always park in the west 50s between 10th and 12th avenues, in both commercial vehicles and passenger cars. Never been ticketed, harrassed, or victimized. Alternatively, you could talk to hotels across the river in Jersey City - Candlewood Suites and Doubletree are two examples - and ask what...

    Evernote use

    We're using it to keep track of truck maintenance, receipts for taxes, note safe places to park for the night and places we want to explore further someday, restaurants to revisit, etc. We also have a public notebook that we use as a blog so the kids can see what we're up to, but people without...

    Too many vans!

    stupiddog0-3, you sound determined to me. I suggest you concentrate on building your business as these pros have suggested, and forget about pointing fingers. There's always someone out there gunning for you, so get used to being a target. Take notes about where you sat when you got an offer...

    AnyTime Fitness Thread

    If I think more about feeling good, will I feel good about thinking more, or will it result in thinking good about feeling more ... or perhaps feeling more good than thinking? Couldn't resist. :cool:

    Another Milestone: Bob and Linda

    To what end? The offending post has been quoted no less than three times. Leaving the posts in original form says more about his character than subsequent edits. Belatedly, my deepest congratulations to the Caffees, and I look forward to future articles about this stellar expediting team.

    Been there, done that ...once!

    Not surprisingly, the state of NY and CSX differ in opinion: -- and -- *sigh* Gotta love New York. Yep, our opinions differ, so let's just marinate the issue for another generation or two. Yes, that's also addressed in the link provided above. Ultimately, the DRIVER is...

    Been there, done that ...once!

    Ha ha. A mere 12 feet to the right of this bridge, and only a few feet below the level of the pavement, lies Onondaga Lake. If the driver had had the sudden realization that he couldn't fit a 13 foot tall VanDrool bus under a 10'9" bridge, his only alternative move would be to ditch the bus...

    That was positively disgusting

    Would your opinion change if you were dehydrated and near death? If the only thing standing between me and St. Peter is a bladder full of pee, sign me up. Whatever I catch can be managed via meds (even AIDS). A drop of pee. A DROP of PEE. Srsly?
