After a dry run to Volusia County Speedway to watch dirt track racing, [we got there same time as the rain:(] went to New Smyrna instead, and saw some pretty funny spectator races - love it! :D

Well, duh! You think I've always lived in a truck? :p

The good news is a load to Miami, with time to spend visiting my daughter & grands in Orlando enroute. The bad news is zero air conditioning until I get back to SC for repair. People survived before AC, right?:eek:

Puhleeze - dude looks like a valet parking jockey at some cheesy 'gentleman's club'! ;)

Having witnessed speed limits in Ohio being raised and lowered in response to public pressure, [in the case of the lowering, one 'connected' family, whose teenage son died after driving way over the current limit on a curve], I do not believe speed is anywhere near the danger the police &...

The cost of a professional cleaning/detailing, I'd think.

Texting while driving ANY vehicle is reckless - but it's perfectly safe to do it while you're stopped. Or, have your codriver do it.

Greg: thanks for responding, but I still want to hear Aristotle's explanation of who exactly he refers to when he says 'they'. The general belief is that Doug got banned deliberately, in protest, but who knows? He's not here to speak anymore - at least under his real name, lol. Andy/TallCal has...

Witness: thanks for the link. Lots of food for thought!

Aristotle: While I didn't send you a pm, I too wondered what was behind the difference in your attitude - I've always enjoyed reading your stuff, and you had a sense of humor that I admired. What you snidely refer to as the 'Turtle cult factor' is what I see as an insistence on backing up your...

The benefits of writing your own contract include writing in whatever suits your needs - if you can make it work fairly, why not?:)

Could you do sun dried or fire roasted tomatoes, then freeze them? [or 'can' in olive oil? :confused: They'd make some great sammiches, with [turkey] Italian sausages & bell pepper.

It sounds good, but I bet most owners won't agree. First, they want control of the driver's pay, because the driver has control of the truck - what if they abandon it? What if it's damaged? The owner would have no recourse, if the driver were paid automatically. I guess they could work out the...

What Turtle said. Which is the same thing I said, long ago, but the few who indulge in the 'chatter', [which is what prompted my changed sigline, BTW], either don't see or don't care how their personal chats [or quest for meaningless post count] take the interest level of a thread down to the...

Indianapolis, enroute to Charlotte, NC. PS banting in the pooter thread is better than pooting in the banting thread....;):D Good to have you back, Tude!

Orlando - I am missing my granddaughters [and their Mom].

Here's my point: people [including you] keep referring to "the family" as if it were a single entity - it's not. It's often a diverse group [or just two people, even] of folks who cannot agree, and when decisions must be made without delay, THEN WHAT? And as Pjjjjj asked, when they do agree, and...

A lot of good stuff there, Miss Kat. As to why folks simply don't internalize what they read and/or hear, it's because "you can lead a horse to water etc" PS Dorothy Parker was once challenged to use the word 'horticulture' in a sentence, and her response was "You can lead a :censoredsign: to culture...

I'm sure the bluster makes you feel better, [since you resort to it so often], but it does absolutely nothing to address the issue, much less answer my question. I repeat: in the absence of a Living Will, or any agreement among the family, what should the doctor actually do? Let nature take it's...

All I'm hearing from you guys is "No doctor has the right to make decisions for me or mine, period." But what should the doctor do, when the family is too busy yelling, crying, refusing to talk to the others, and/or threatening [and too often, going through with it] physical violence, and the...
