    How Do You Watch NFL Football on the Road?

    Looks like you don't spend much of the time away from tv learning etiquette or tact, though: you just totally ignored the question asked ["when you are on the road and if you are an NFL fan"] to insult nearly every member of EO with your unsolicited opinion of tv in general. Since several...

    Thought politics couldn't get any crazier?

    Here's another one - er, TWO more batsh*t crazy Republicans: Ark. GOP Calls Candidates' Statements 'Offensive' - ABC News I'm trying to be bipartisan, honest - I just haven't found any Dems who are as loony tunes as the conservative side is apparently infested with - anyone else find any? I...

    Abandoned

    I can see where a carrier might pay for the tow, because it looks like the only way to get the freight delivered, but that could be the last load they trust you with - their reputation is on the line too, right? It's not a cut & dried issue, too much depends on whether the carrier thinks the...

    Prison - for frying eggs.

    Student gets suspended sentence for cooking on eternal flame | euronews, world news She's very lucky the sentence was suspended - how could she possibly tell her cellmates what she's in for? PS Now I'm wondering: would it be a criminal offense to warm your hands over the Eternal Flame...

    DD: tough week, no doubt. :( Unlike Paullud, I'd say the tow bill is your responsibility, because you agreed to get the load to it's destination - though I'd be pretty ticked off at the tow truck driver's changing the story after the tow. That said, most carriers will do what they can to help...

    Thought politics couldn't get any crazier?

    So far, we've only got the student's version [and high school students are honest always - not!] but if it happened, it's much worse. The classroom is no place for political partisanship on either side, and a disagreement between teacher and student is one the student rarely wins, even when...

    Anyone tried this [cobra venom for pain] yet?

    LOS: you should also ask your Dr about a treatment called iontophoresis, in which a steroidal medication is introduced to the affected joint by use of electricity. It's done by physical therapists, generally takes 3-7 treatments [about 15 minutes each] and it is amazing pain relief. I had it...

    Thought politics couldn't get any crazier?

    Um, no. But I see your point - just reading stuff right here proves it. :rolleyes: Only the 'adults' in question are running for elected office, or in positions of authority - THOSE adults ought to be able to separate fantasy from fact, and work from play. As the candidate asked: does everyone...

    Solo Straight Truck Drivers

    Not to rag on Subzero, but I'm wondering how one could be unaware of the carrier's [illegal] practices before agreeing to work with them. And how can they hope to prove you told them you're a team, when your log lists only your name, with 'na' in place of a codriver? Rotten apples, they sound like.

    Anyone tried this [cobra venom for pain] yet?

    It's irony only if one takes it the first time for a headache, without knowing that they're susceptible to the potential headaches that some people experience as a side effect. Then they'd just think it was worthless, lol. Pain is a big problem for people, when OTC medication [Tylenol, Advil...

    Another deranged cop attacks

    It "angers" you that people can't decline to answer a reasonable question, because you don't think they're morally or ethically obliged to inform a LEO that they have a weapon concealed on their person? And you're on which side of the argument? The side that says reasonable and law abiding...

    Thought politics couldn't get any crazier?

    Maine Republicans blast opponent for World of Warcraft play | Reuters I've never liked the idea of kids [under 16] playing violent vids, but an adult is presumably capable of separating the fantasy from reality, and has also presumably completed the process of maturation - it's nobody else's...

    Pit Bull Mauls Three-Week-Old Baby To Death

    EL: many cities have such laws, but I still think it's the people who should be banned for breeding, selling, and owning animals irresponsibly.

    Stupid Road Signs

    After a few of those appeared on the 'net, someone posted instructions on hacking them, [ they were hardly ever locked, even!] but I bet they're not that easy to 'change' anymore. Too bad, cause they're pretty funny!

    Hey - that might be our next Plan B for Revenue Generation: Snake Charming School! In case the venom does turn out to be addictive, it could be the next big consumer need, eh? :eek: I'm afraid we're gonna need a new Plan B plan, because the "Cardboard Condos" for residentially challenged people...

    Wait - why specify "something obnoxious"? Do you want to be in a bad mood already when you answer, or what? :confused:

    missing co-driver

    Awww Jeanie, I can't even imagine Dingle not responding [eventually, lol] when you call him - he loves you as much as you love him. I'm glad to hear that you can stay close, till he gets over whatever freaked him out, and wish I could help. :(

    Pit Bull Mauls Three-Week-Old Baby To Death

    Why blame a breed for the ignorance of the people who are attracted to its' 'bad reputation'? Which they proceed to reinforce in every way possible - notice the dog "managed to get into the house" and the neighbor who said "they have a pole in their hand to get in the back yard"? The dog owners...
