Welcome back, TC - I' ve really missed you! And now, let the games begin ;)

I don't know how to incorporate quotes from several posts into one, either....:o But I know that typewriter, calculator, and computer all originally referred to a person, rather than a machine. And that the day we stop learning, we are actually [if not medically or legally] brain dead. :)

Me too, because I've seen him once in 4 years, lol. Though it wasn't deliberate with TJ [wavin 'hi!'' :D

Until you get the Netbook, you can use a computer at the local library - easy to do in a van, esp now that there are helpful signs posted showing where they are. Or just ask the locals. :)

Au contraire: vendors at MATS will offer better deals [sometimes they just don't wanna haul a lot out of there, & will sell it cheap] than you'd get otherwise. It helps if you know what a good deal is, though, so price shop first.

One common denominator all [that were listed] have in common is a sense of humor ;) Maybe it's an attitude of deciding to want what you have, rather than vice versa....:confused:

A dealership can recommend a local place that installs aftermarket cruise - had it done on my van when I bought it.

Welcome, Moonstrucker! If you've been lurking awhile, then you don't need any advice, and already have a pretty good idea of who most of us are, I bet. Jump right in, the water's wet, anyhow...:D

cheri, cant quite figure out yet. Some days I resemble the windshield: Clear & bright & good. :) Others: I look like the bug You hurry to scrape off the hood! :o In other words - just average. Sorry, Dynamite, I can't draw a bead on you just yet, either....:confused:

Chris: keeping the DH low is one of the most important factors in profit vs loss. Not just because you pay for the fuel, but also from the standpoint of wear & tear on your vehicle, and time & energy used. DHing 800 miles out of Laredo will leave you too tired to run a load when you get to where...

This from the alleged adult who can't refer to a single elected person up to and including the President without *******izing [can't wait to see if that gets past the censor, lol] their name in some childish way? Yeah, right. :rolleyes:

And sweet little old ladies :D

I read the WalMart story yesterday, and was amazed at the fact that the local authorities offered 'counseling' to anyone who felt traumatized, and that several people "expressed interest in being counseled" :eek: If the "People of WalMart" vids don't scare the stuffing out of them, how does a...

Vinny: some of us are happy with both a fleet owner [the one for whom I drive is the best I've ever seen] and a smaller carrier. Neither of them has ever shorted my pay, or cheated me in any way. To each his own, yes?

I see Mindy as a tiny but powerful dynamo :) [ I saw a Panther van with a Wingnut front license plate the other day - any idea whose?]

I see Bruno riding a bike off a pier :D and Moot snorting pimientos [or whatever] out both nostrils when he reads 'his grandchildren' - he hasn't got any [yet] :eek: LOL

Leo: you sound just like the sea Captain in one of Mark Twain's stories, who couldn't see the need for a trial of a man he knew to be guilty - the Captain wanted to hang him on the spot, saving everyone time & trouble. But there is a reason for due process, and bypassing it is not a good idea...

We carried our beloved Rottweiller up & down steps for the last year of her life - worth every bit of effort, IMO. That's a looong life for a dog, Chef - and it doesn't make it any easier when it's over, I know. Hope you can be there for both your wife and the dog when the time comes. :(

Of those I haven't met, I see Aristotle as a marble head on a pedestal, Poorboy as a homeless bum, Steady Eddie as a crybaby [must be the avatar], and Sockhat [because of the post on finding a nudist camp] as a guy wearing nothing between the socks & hat....:eek: I see Turtle as Yoda, but him I...
