Obama's turn began before the election was over. And I still say Palin is a hypocritical opportunist who couldn't govern properly [she QUIT!!!] The "Woman on top" ran out of energy before finishing what she started - not a woman whose example I'm inspired by.

Actually, yes, I do - but it's still very early days, so we'll have to wait to see whether he can, or does.

How insightful an observation. But are all the caps [ aka internet shouting] really necessary? :confused:

Conservatives who insist upon teaching abstinence only sex education are a lot less immune to the risks of passion, as Ms Palin would admit if she weren't a hypocrite, IMO. I don't generally blame the parents for kids gone wrong, but the connection here is just too clear - teens need honest and...

If Obama's father or mother had been running for political office on a platform of conservative 'family values' [including the reliance on abstinence only sex education], I'd have certainly mentioned it. It's pertinent in Palin's case, and if the unwed teenage parent were Obama's daughter, I...

I second that emotion, and hope he's doing all right - he is missed here, for sure. :(

As my Daddy [a genuine hillbilly, BTW] used to say: damifino. I would have to make a decision as more facts become available, cos so far, I'm not crazy about either of them. I do think that many decided against Obama before he had a chance to DO much of anything, and that is sad. I never liked...

Because she thinks she's smarter than everyone else, is my take on it. And I very much disagree.

You must be waaaay beyond frustrated with that truck! Sorry to hear it, and hope they make it right for you - if that's even possible.

Having the motel mgr help deliver the load isn't a problem [I once delivered from the flatbed of a tow truck]. The problem is checking into the motel with a load on board - what if the vehicle had been stolen? THEN there would have been some 'splainen' to do.... The execs won't learn much about...

Yup. I totally agree.

Louixo, you ARE a treasure, lol. No 3 had me snorting my beverage out my nose.... :D

9 out of 10 recent members are actually Doug in disguise. :p

It's almost like being married, lol, except I don't have to deal with DOT every day. And when I do, sometimes I even come out ahead [2 'no violations' inspections in one week recently = bonus money!] Now if you'd asked which drivers have it tougher, I'd vote for solo females, particularly the...

I'd consider cold to be a Pfc [can mess up all kinds of stuff], but wind is a freakin 4 star General, cos he can blow you right off the road! [And nearly did, in Ga and NC yesterday.]

Having driven all three, it's a matter of tradeoffs - they each have advantages and disadvantages, so you pick the size that works for your needs. A straight truck works best for mine. [I can cook, AND find a place to park. :)]

After Ed died, his widow Ruby continued the open house policy. During the year I drove for Housworth, I spent a lot of nights in the guestroom, and always felt welcome there. [Of course, I pitched in and helped with the chores, too, and once I cooked for everyone - it was great, lol] Ed was...

Very nice - it's good to see some maturity and goodwill on this forum. PS I forgive you for dumping me, and hope you find someone who makes you happy. :)

Allen: if driving t/t doesn't appeal to you, you might consider getting started in expediting by checking the EO classifieds for "Driver wanted" ads. Some are looking for someone to drive team [as was mentioned, teams are desired by most owners], and if the other driver is experienced, he/she...

Attaboy! You have every right to be proud. :)
