I missed the part where they asked about it, I guess - and they never asked me when I crossed, in either direction. It reads as if they changed their mind once he said his parent was born in Canada, and that's what I don't get.

An interesting update on the traffic stop in Deming, NM, that resulted in a case of medical torture appears to place the blame on the narcotics dog [Leo] that 'alerted' officers to drugs. Which weren't found. In more than one case. 4 On Your Side reveals another traffic stop nightmare |...

If the solo driver is paying for fuel, he would [usually] get 60%. Following Turtle's 'rule of thirds', which is a pretty good ballpark estimate, the owner takes home 33%, the driver 33%, and fuel takes the last 33%. Which means your income is not so much tied to the percentage, as to your...

LR: it's really tough to be unable to communicate in the aftermath of a disaster, and few things are worse than not knowing. Please try to keep your thoughts in a positive channel, and know that many, many people are hoping & praying with and for you.

"No one is going to get away"? Sorry, but they do. Cases are thrown out by judges every day for lack of evidence, aided & abetted by 'good' attorneys who can spin a somewhat plausible reason for the refusal and/or the failed sobriety test. Sometimes, the attorney is even telling the truth...

I'd totally agree with the idea of not allowing voting if collecting government assistance - as long as it applies to every corporate entity and politician that claims government subsidies/benefits as well. ;)

I don't know about Allstate, but I do know you're "in good hands" with Shelly. [And her husband John, lol] We are lucky to have an agent who can make some sense out of the insurance industry for us, and takes the time to share it. Thanks, Shelly & John.

The 65% is the owner's cut [from what's billed to the customer]. If the owner has drivers doing the load, he gives them a percentage of that - either 40% [he buys fuel & keeps the fuel surcharge] or 60% [drivers pay for fuel & get the surcharge.] The system is largely based on trust: the owner...

Yes: better than no trip at all - it's something, at least. If you get the chance, please thank Leo for doing it. Sharing the truck with a total stranger can be fun, but it can also be a miserable experience, and it was good of him to risk it on our behalf. I just hope it was an eye opener for...

In the article I read about the guy who created the site, I was shocked to find the difference in charges for Tamoxifen [a breast cancer drug] ranged from $11 to well over $400. There is no excuse for such disparities, except greed. Do people not care because "insurance pays for it"? We ALL...

As long as the law requires probable cause [to suspect DUI], I'm in favor, because without it, a refusal can allow drunk drivers to continue driving. The number of repeat offenders [in double digits!] proves that more needs to be done to stop intoxicated drivers from threatening our safety on...

This site is a blessing: About GoodRx I found it awhile ago, but didn't want to share if I hadn't checked it myself. Today, my $76 prescription cost $55, so I can vouch for it. Even if you only pay a few dollars copay, think about comparison shopping your prescription, and filling it at the...

I really wish she could have spent the 2 days with me, instead. Because I spent them going nowhere [except nuts], trying to replace a missing marker light lens [cover], so I don't get pulled aside for inspection. And to protect the exposed bulb & wiring, of course. It took 2 days to determine...

Jason: you have the right idea, but the wrong target. Expediters don't deal with retail deliveries, per se, and can't offer guidance on what you might bid for providing that service. I'd suggest you check out the competition, and see if you can improve on what they're offering, either with more...

Thanks - and yes, I do. [Send my opinions to DC] It may be an exercise in futility, but I refuse to accept that 'we, the people' are powerless to change what we see as wrong. Especially if we can credit those who are wrong with having the right intentions [but getting bad intel], hmmm? ;) On...

If you were to read what I wrote, you would stop making such ridiculous comments, because there was nothing about giving up "every" product. Just the ones that pose an unacceptably high risk of death to large numbers of people, many of whom really are innocent children. If substitutes for lead...

P: you don't really mean you hope it's a joke, right? Because there isn't the tiniest shred of a scintilla of humor in the whole sorry story of LEO's gone stark raving mad & convincing medical professionals to join them. Every LEO and MD who went along with this needs to be charged, and that...

Very nice, Linder! PS I got tired of trying to lift the hot steamer basket from the rice cooker, so I added 'loop handles' made from twist tie lengths [the kind you buy by the roll & cut lengths as needed]. They can take the heat of steaming/boiling, don't get in the way of the lid, and no more...
