Exactly. I don't want the headaches of ownership, or those of driving t/t, because I've done both, and learned what I'm not good at, in the process. I believe in doing the job to the very best of one's ability, and in not being blindly stupid about one's own abilities, as well. Does that make...

Now I get it: the vicious puppy killer being hailed and lauded by the President is actually the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles - right? Because that's who was hailed, not Vick. PS attacking minor typos is a common tactic of the frustrated losing side of an argument, and hyperbole like 'puppy...

It's true that most serial killers admit to having begun torturing animals in childhood - but is that true of Vick? And was it 'bloodlust' - or just part of the business, really? [Either way, I totally agree with your last sentence.] Maybe everyone arrested for dog fighting should have their...

I find it very scary that neither business owners nor their customers have the right to choose anymore, because the choice has been made for them. Why can't establishments choose to be smoking, or non, and customers likewise? Agree with Chef & LOS: the government has gone too far in controlling...

Amazing, how many do - once they've been convicted. :rolleyes: This would be a great Public Service Announcement, methinks. A reenactment of the road rage, followed by the real world consequences - to both families. Seems it might help reduce both road rage and drunk driving, if people could...

I'd sure like to read the cases Ms Greene refers to, when she "claims the courts have upheld" the practice. Who knows what the courts actually said?

Looks like a lot of people didn't get their ideal gift last week: the Garmin that goes with you when you leave your car parked, and will lead you back to it. I am not making this up - it's meant for tourists, lol. :)

Only those who feel that personal vendettas [which is what it sounds like, but I could be wrong, is why I'd ask for clarification] should be conducted in private, not through posts. O - and whomever drives the vehicle identified. Would you care, if it was your plate number?

With the addition of a BOL to documentation required, I agree. If checking your rewards card is ok, what's next? Your debit & credit cards, [in case you made a withdrawal while logged in the sleeper]? Your cell phone, to make sure no texts were sent while logged as driving? This goes far beyond...

I just woke up, so I could be seeing things that maybe aren't there, but the questions I'd be asking about M's post are more along the lines of why the ID [plate no & state] of a particular truck, followed by what sounds like a snide remark? And who is she calling a liar?:confused: But - oh...

From the closet racists, no, but from those who despise cruelty to animals, certainly.

Very graciously done. [Some of us understand that an occasional typo and/or misspelled word is not an indication of lack of intelligence, nor is it worthy of remark.] PS I agree with your original statement: Howard Stern is proof that you won't go broke underestimating the taste of most people...

You answered the question yourself, in the sentence preceding it: the outrage is only as great as the awareness of the issue. A condition I'd fault LEOs for, more than the media, because if the guilty parties were arrested, the facts would be published. LEOs have other priorities, apparently...

Agree with Pjjjjjjj - the second child will be loved as much as the first - the parents said they always wanted another, so it's a win-win scenario. In a world where babies are conceived for many reasons [to nudge a partner into marriage, revitalize a tired marriage, prop a teen ego, obtain...

My dog Kenzy subscribes to the Communist theory: from each according to ability, to each according to needs. I provide the food, water, walks toys, and medical care. Kenzy provides the 'adorable' factor.:D

If you're going to 'see' Doug behind every bush, you should at least be able to recognize him - the original was neither incomprehensible nor unintelligent, FYI.

I keep spares in a couple places, at least one of which I can remember if needed, cos my dog sometimes locks me out. I gotta try them on some vending machines, one of these days. :D

I would have, when I left Cleveland yesterday, but I wasn't going through Ky. Am back in the truck after a week in snow country [in a 4 wheeler], and guess what? SC is snow country too, right now. :eek:

Amen, Pjjjjjj. My penny in the pond is the dispatching carrier should pay for the dry run, then possibly charge someone else, if the fault can be pinned somewhere else. If not, as XO6 says, it's a lesson learned. The driver should have had full & complete info before departure, but I know I've...
