    A help to combat aggressive driving?

    Cute Animal Images May Boost Work Performance | LiveScience Is what I thought even before reading the last sentence, lol. All the [billboard] advertising that promotes competition and 'winning' sure hasn't helped put drivers in a more courteous state of mind - maybe this could have a better...

    October locations

    Far as I know, the truckstops 2 exit 167 are all there is [for tv watching] in the area. At least you got internet - I was at one of the Pilots an hr ago and couldn't even get online, so I moved to a Meijer closer to Detroit. Where I need to be in the morning for repair, sigh. It's been 2 weeks...

    Cannon Balls! Did you know this?

    Sometimes, he's worse than Snopes, lol. ;)

    I've never known anyone to define homosexuality as a black/white matter of committing sexual acts - but since you insist, let me ask: Are convicts homosexual if they only do it while in prison, and never when free? Is one considered hetero if they want desperately to engage in sex [or just a...

    Onion Article Picked Up as Fact

    OTOH, I love it when people try to tell me what to think - it's amusing. ;) I do like reading what 'they' think, though - there are some pretty bright people out there, and some witty ones, too. And some who make me feel smart, lol.

    Intrade: Obama will win easily, Dems easily retain Senate

    Mitt Romney's controversial Olympic past draws scrutiny - World - CBC News Mr Romney didn't take a salary that he could well afford to forego, but that's not what I referred to at all. I love the part about the billions of dollars that "would probably have been paid for [infrastructure...

    It might not have done anything but delay the inevitable, ya know? The shame is that treatment isn't available for the many who would be able to quit the self destruction - or the mentally ill, either. We just blame them for their problems cause it's easier. It's easier to get money for weapons...

    I agree with Arlene, but I'd call it suicide, because with that kind of money, treatment is an option that [probably] wasn't available before. The biggest problem is that effective treatment may not be available at any price, and we don't seem to be making much progress on that front - if...

    Intrade: Obama will win easily, Dems easily retain Senate

    It matters to me, but I take the Pledge of Allegiance very seriously - and I suspect many people do, more so than the damfool politicians. The attempts to divide the country into makers vs takers is only going to blow up in the faces of those who see everything as 'us vs them', when cooperation...

    Intrade: Obama will win easily, Dems easily retain Senate

    Don't shoot the messenger, lol. If Romney's supporters are that easily di - I mean, demoralized, they aren't too bright to begin with. How come the right wing never calls the media 'lamestream' when the polls say their candidate is ahead? :confused:

    Onion Article Picked Up as Fact

    No matter how much you trust a source, mistakes get made, and wrong info gets repeated, but I generally find the BBC to be pretty reliable - without the right/left bias that many of our own news orgs display.

    Those Blair Drivers

    The implication that you are someone's wife is probably the funniest thing I've read in a loooong time. Because I think you'd have to be the husband in the relationship - just sayin. ;)

    September Locations & Banter

    Judy, this IS downsizing, lol - I started driving OTR in a t/t. I relate my own experience [with detention] because it's all I can be sure of, but the problem isn't 'all about me', it's all about the issues that every solo expediter who logs has to deal with. I could drive something that...

    September Locations & Banter

    I wonder what will happen to solo drivers if mandatory EOBRs are imposed upon us - because we won't be able to absorb the detention [unless FMCSA can be persuaded to reinstate the split sleeper as it was before 03] and still make direct deliveries, in too many cases. Before 03, we could log it...

    Thomas Edison was quoted as saying "I now know of 12,000 things that don't make a good filament for an electric bulb!" shortly before he found one thing that did. ;)
