    kindle or nook or...ipad?

    Can also serve as a shim [short leg prop], paperweight, weapon [ask my kids, lol], temporary table while sitting on the grass, and lots of other useful purposes. Not good as a flyswatter, though.;)

    Underage drinking

    Any parent [or adult] who sponsors or permits underage drinking in their place of residence [even temporary, such as a hotel room], is subject to legal prosecution. In some places, there are campaigns to spread that message, like on billboards. Also, many colleges/universities are making an...

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    I hope not - the one time I tried to twirl a lasso, I nearly hung myself before getting both feet tangled in the durn rope & falling flatsmack on my face. :D

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    Was just explaining why I care about something that will probably never happen to me, is all - if it happens to someone else, I could be next. And even if it never happens to me, it's wrong, and I care.

    Sitting at the Walmart

    Now I feel slightly less stupid for walking around the ts looking for my truck, and driving around the ts looking for the exit, lol. :o

    Underage drinking

    I'm against it - alcohol would make the candidates look attractive, like people in the bar at closing time.:eek:

    How Harry Potter's favourite sport is sweeping America

    You say that as if it would be a bad thing....:p My younger daughter was 8 when Harry Potter arrived, and we both loved the books [used to hide the books from each other, not wanting to wait till the other finished it, lol] and I'd love to watch a game - what a hoot! :D

    Bad journalism?

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    Steve: we worry about it because in many states, the focus has changed from ensuring safety to generating revenue, however it can be done. And because sometimes, [as in the Minnesota 'fatigue indicators'] the LEOs are operating outside the law to do it. "For evil to triumph" ring any bells...

    Bad journalism?

    The listed stories got the coverage they merited. Characterizing any of them as 'covered up' is what I consider bad journalism in its attempt to portray opinion as fact. [And highly prejudicial opinion, at that.] The birth certificate 'story': is the word of one clerk, unsupported by a single...

    January 2011 Location

    Re: Jan Location We've already learned that pointing that out doesn't deter anyone from posting what should be a pm. Besides, they might have just decided to make it 'more interesting', and we REALLY don't need that. [Plus, after last night, I'm fresh out of barf bags.]

    Re: Jan Location Hey Kevin: your open flirtation with Melanieann is dishonorable, as it's disrespectful of your wife - please take it to private msg, so we don't feel complicit in your misbehavior. :mad:

    Favorite 2010 EO quotes

    He needs to get home to his wife. Melanieann [if she actually exists, which I very much doubt] needs to know [& remember] that he does have a wife. The rest of us needed a barf bag. :( I'm sure my fave quote was one of Layoutshooter's, but I'd have to sort through the many gems before picking...

    NEW 2011 IFTA STICKERS - Do you have yours on?

    Haven't - but when I asked last week, our Safety Director said we have until the end of Feb to place them, so if there's a problem, I'll let him have it. ;)

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    Greg: I guess my opinion differs from yours in that any LEO who requests further documentation of a log should have reasonable suspicion or probable cause, same as a drug screen and/or breathalyzer. A driver who appears fatigued [bloodshot eyes, slovenly grooming, irritable attitude, delayed...

    Pilot Rewards Card and DOT Inspections

    Please take some deep breaths & try to restate that. The question was legitimate, but your answer is incomprehensible. Falsifying logs [Federal documents] is a serious issue - but without reasonable suspicion, LEOs are going too far in the 'gotcha!' pursuit, when they ask to see a driver's...

    Broke down in Lexington Ky

    Keeping your mouth shut would have been a better choice - but you can't, and I can't either, and on that note, [as my favorite auntie says] suck it up, cupcake, no changes planned for 2011:p Happy New Year, to you and yours. :D

    What's your New Years resolution?

    Mike: you are wasting your amazing eye/talent, driving. There are so many people who would love to see your photos as much as we do, and you'd probably make a LOT more money, and still get to travel - have you considered going pro? Happy New Year to you & Cynthia, as always. :)

    Welcome to EO! Looks like you could use a couple tips: editing is best done before the post is quoted/copied - after, it's too late - we already know what it said. Personal jabs are best done apart from posts - there is a private message function you can use, if you like. You can't count on the...
