    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Depends on the leader and support from the congregation - some would, some wouldn't. And if the congregation won't support a fight, doesn't that say something about what they believe? Discrimination against adult gays is bad, but against gay teens [who want to be Boy Scouts!] is despicable, IMO...

    What about... pets?

    I'd suggest giving it a try, on a short run first. The cat might surprise you [never had one, but I hear they do that, sometimes]. Lots of drivers travel with cats, without any problems - just make sure your carrier knows, so they won't send you to a place that forbids them. [I traveled with a...

    What about... pets?

    Typical irresponsible pet owner: it's all about what you get from the animal, and when you no longer get what you want, just abandon it, with some maudlin nonsense about "hoping it finds a Mrs and raises a happy family". What I hope is that no other animal has the misfortune to be your pet. :(

    January Locations and Banter

    John: you've lost his presence, but you will always have his spirit around you. You will one day notice a smile, a gesture, a particular tilt of the head in a grandchild that reminds you of him, and you'll know that those we love never really entirely leave us. It's not enough, but it's what we...

    Are you suggesting that the smarter than Einstein salt of the earth holier than thou Republican members of Congress would never write legislation that exempts themselves? ROFLMAO

    America's Social Pillars Falling Like Dominoes.

    Contrary to your belief, 'vice' is not limited to [nor especially predominate] in big cities and rural areas - small town and rural populations are just as prone to vice as any Chicago or NYC resident, any day of the week. The hypocrisy of the far right wing is just laughable, as demonstrated...

    When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Collect?

    Re: When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Coll Now I get the 'south out of Phoenix' reference, and did the satellite keep the driver from entering Mexico? Or going to jail? Did it help get the load returned? If I remember, the frieght was confiscated and...

    When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Collect?

    Re: When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Coll I'm not seeing how it protects the driver - and if your valuable load turns south out of Phoenix, then what? Professional thieves could have it's contents transferred long before you can get LEOs to the...

    When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Collect?

    Re: When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Coll Like I said: it was a stroke of genius for the package delivery trucks, but what we do is quite different. If some carriers couldn't get it there on time, let them use satellites - we don't need tracked, and...

    Do you ever get tired of this?

    I do, once in awhile. Usually when it's raining, and I've gotten out of the truck 5 times at the shipper [security, receiving for dock assignment, dock to open up & back in, receiving office for BOL, dock to pull out & close up, security again - oh, that's 6 times!] and I'm soaked to the skin. I...

    England and gun confiscation,,,

    The US developed a 'gun culture' courtesy of the native Americans, who objected to having their lands occupied. Any settlers who were given free land to move west of the Mississippi needed firearms to establish and keep their homestead. That's a hard habit to break, after decades of skirmishing...

    When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Collect?

    Re: When a truck/driver sits/takes a break for 4 weeks why does Qualcomm have to Coll Dreamin: there are carriers who don't use satellites, even many respectable ones, like C&M - if it's a deal breaker, you can find one to work with. But if your carrier uses QC, you're going to pay for it...

    Brought to you from Mike, Canon and Apple

    Thanking Apple is like thanking whoever invented the pencil for the works of Jane Austen. I've got pencils too, but they don't write like that! Love, love, love your photos. :)

    They had a booth at MATS [Mid America Trucking Show] in Louisville a couple years ago, and seemed to be used by many respectable carriers, so I believe they are legit.

    Why did men stop wearing high heels?

    So you'd be ok with my commenting on the posts in Woods & Waters that hold no interest for me? Cause I could do that. But I wouldn't. Because it's just plain rude, with absolutely no reason.

    Why did men stop wearing high heels?

    My favorite quote: One of the best ways that status can be conveyed is through impracticality," says Semmelhack, adding that the upper classes have always used impractical, uncomfortable and luxurious clothing to announce their privileged status. [Elizabeth Semmelhack, Bata Shoe Museum]...

    Why did men stop wearing high heels?

    Dunno bout the BBC, but it's obvy when it's slow in Los' truck. Is it really helpful to say that the subject doesn't interest you? :confused:

    Solo straight truck driving loo

    Let me get this straight [because I suspect I keep mixing it up]: scum are the ones that, when thrown in the pond, float, right? :confused:
