    Is there such a thing as too much equipment?

    Jeanie, Jansie: I need the logistics sleeves, any idea where to get some? Last time I was looking, a friend said he might could fab some for me, [because the place I found had stopped selling them over a patent issue], but I think he meant in about 5 or 6 years, sigh. I have 4 load bars [2 heavy...

    Speeding ticket

    Duh. :rolleyes: I read an interesting thing recently, about how speed limits are [pretty much everywhere] set according to the 80% method: the speed that 80% of drivers are traveling is the right speed limit for that road. Except in the US, where the authorities typically subtract 8-12 mph...

    How far should Elementary School go for Peanut Allergy?

    Many [maybe most] of the important lessons learned in school aren't in the lesson plans. What the unhappy parents are teaching is that different isn't good, if you want to be part of the group, you must be like the others, or you will be excluded. If those parents could know the panic & terror...

    inverter problem

    The problem could be that the microwave's startup draw is much higher than it's 900 watt run draw.

    Most unique gift you ever received?

    Louixo: if you can take a photo with a cellphone, you can get it on here. Send the photo to your own email, [type it in as a phone number, send like a text], save it to your photos [or 'desktop', if it's easier to find there], then follow directions when you enter 'reply' for attaching to the...

    I-95 Bus Crash Caused By TT?

    The USA Today article mentions a restriction "imposed by Congress in 2005, barring roadside safety inspections unless there is an imminent hazard". It must apply solely to buses, because I've had several roadside inspections, with no violations found. Yet the buses transport people, without...

    What Type of Health Insurance do you have/Recommend??

    I think Rob and his wife demonstrated that they are quite capable of reading and comprehending a simple post - but intention is open to interpretation, which makes your reply false. And uncalled for, not to mention inflammatory. PS Besides the military, where else do you think women don't...

    Gps device

    The lowest end Garmin, wherever you find the best price, [WalMart, usually] will serve well. It's what I started with, and upgraded only because I wanted the one that plays audiobooks.

    Tri-pod Dolly

    And I was worried about what the word 'dolly' might inspire, lol. :D We don't get to have a pajama walk at MATS - but I'm wearing mine anyhow. Because that's how I roll [or walk] early in the morning. I'd get dressed if they'd schedule it at a reasonable hour, like, say, noonish....:cool:

    Situational ethics and civility

    If I cared to take the time to do it, I'm sure I could find just as many examples of criminal stupidity among republicans & conservatives on liberal websites. And I'm equally sure that if those liberal sites were on my daily reading list, [as conservative sites are on yours], I'd be convinced...

    Exploiting a Tragedy

    And I have a seriously negative opinion of every American who loaded up on iodide, when there's no need for it, because they're taking what many citizens of Japan may need - how stupid and selfish is that?:mad:

    Exploiting a Tragedy

    Judging by the number of Hondas and Toyotas sold in the US, those who hold a grudge aren't a big majority. I haven't seen any appeals for 'disaster relief', like most major disasters spawned - I imagine that's a big part of the lack of donations, people who would give aren't being asked to [ie...

    Anyone know about moving Medical freight?

    Arch: the thread referred to is titled 'Bad Companies', you can [and should!] find it by clicking on the General forum, then on page 2 [located above the threads]. It's quite an eye opener. I think there are a lot of small, fly by night places that take advantage of honest people who are looking...

    Any words of advice for new husband wife team?

    Welcome! All you need to do is start reading, because a lot of those folks have posted a LOT of info on all those subjects, so you just need to get your eyes ready for a marathon through the stuff. General questions are hard to answer, but any particular questions can be posted for input, or you...

    Wrong Turn!!!

    Having used the map for many years, and being a 'visual' learner, [I need to see it], maps will never be replaced entirely by any GPS - but they don't help with the small town local directions, so we need both. But I have noticed my Garmin doesn't seem to like being too near the Mexican border...

    I-95 Bus Crash Caused By TT?

    Oh yes, he said he slept - he also said he was clipped by the t/t, which was untrue [the t/t was impounded, driver questioned, authorities are calling him a witness now - he didn't cause the crash] so he knows what to say to minimize his responsibility, but it's not necessarily the truth. The...

    Which State is best to relocate to?

    Now we're veering into Soapbox territory, ['s ok, they'll move it;)] but it brings up a question: why are all the calls for less spending [justified!] directed at workers below midlevel management? Why does no one ask what is being spent for those closer to the top of the pay scale, bennies...
