    Should this Forum be renamed?

    Actually, there is: I can stand up and say so, which is what I did. And just for clarification: posting cut & paste isn't rude in and of itself - it becomes rude when it floods, wallpapers, or otherwise dominates a forum, as it has done in this case.

    Should this Forum be renamed?

    If there were a simple solution, I'd prefer it - but I don't use the 'ignore' button. [Even a broken clock is right twice a day!] Because I disagree with some, most, or nearly all a poster's comments is no reason to ignore them, IMO. I want to read what folks have to say, or I wouldn't be here...

    Should this Forum be renamed?

    Whether the intention was to insult anyone or not, the very idea that you alone have access to these 'other sights' [sic] is insulting. Perhaps you could copy & paste to those who "are supportive", and allow the Soapbox to return to it's intended format - discussion of issues of the day.

    Should this Forum be renamed?

    I made the same comment as JJ long ago, and got the same response. Which I consider insulting - if we can read EO, we can clearly use the internet, and read what appeals to us, eh? The Chef has said numerous times that he couldn't care less how anyone feels, and that's the biggest insult to EO...

    A fond farewell

    Michelle: I know how hard it is, having sat with my Dad as his life slipped away, and you are where you need to be right now. As DaveKC said, maybe it's not forever.... Your boss is losing a good team, but I see no reason why EO should lose you as well - I hope you'll continue to offer help and...

    Hey Shadowmaster: I'm sitting right in front of the fuel pumps at the Pilot [KW D379], waiting for dispatch to let me know if I'm goin to California - if you see me, pop over & say hi....:)

    Hazmat and Hello

    Another thought: what if the HM load needs picked up when a non-HM credentialed driver is at the wheel, and the one who has HM is on a break? Much better to have it for both drivers. PS Welcome to EO! :)

    unusual things a gps says to you

    Danny: if you haven't got an atlas, go get one, ok? They have all major cities in great detail, and a lot of minor ones too. :)

    Im thinkin of placing my dog carrier in to the floor of my van

    Re: Im thinkin of screwing my dog carrier in to the floor of my van Because a few have an obsession with the subject? Really - I'd rather see Dougie 'put one over' than alienate new folks who haven't got a clue as to what they've been accused of. Get a life, people! :(

    Is there any disability people that do this job?

    Milwaukee: I assume you have already checked on what can be done to correct your hearing impairment, right? You didn't say anything about that, so I'm wondering, is all. If nothing can be done, [or adaptive devices obtained] you will probably not find a carrier willing to sign you on, as the...

    Socialized medicine is a done deal

    You imply that some tolerance should be displayed for this guy's behavior, [assaulting an innocent man who asked for help, and lying to the police], but the death penalty should be required for someone caught selling a few joints of marijuana?! Just cannot understand the logic there....

    Wireless Internet

    Only the ones who wouldn't share their Cholula ;) [and that's justifiable, IMO]

    My 10,000th post

    There's a couple members I wonder the same thing about, but would never even consider posting such comments. [That's what private msgs are for;)] Totally out of line, IMO.:(

    Program to help truckers attracts drug smugglers

    It's not a tariff - it's passing along the cost made necessary by the drugs crossing in trucks from Mexico. Clearly neither the Mexican government, the shippers, or the drivers can stop it, so we have to do what we can to prevent the drugs coming across, and the cost should be borne by those who...

    Program to help truckers attracts drug smugglers

    Time for a sizeable surcharge on freight crossing into the US, to pay for more drug sniffing dogs, IMO. If it becomes too expensive to ship from Mexico, maybe we'll even regain some of the manufacturing jobs that we need so much.

    Dumb Things Expediters have Said

    You CAN be home every weekend [just have to deadhead], take whatever time off you want [just won't get paid for it], and you can make tons of money too: just have them pay you entirely in nickles. :p

    Shout out to greg334!

    Greg: Your posts are among those I especially enjoy reading. Even when I disagree with your conclusions, lol. Seriously, I've learned a bit from all that verbiage, and I hope you continue for 10,000 more. :)

    Birthday! Happy birthday Cheri!

    Math is not my best subject, but I don't see how multiplying by 7 would be a GOOD thing....:eek: [Note to Steve: if I were there, I'd enjoy having dinner with you.]:)
