Flattop: had you asked "who whizzed in your Cheerios?" I wouldn't have taken offense, but your remark was sexist, demeaning, unfunny, and offensive. I'm happy to defend my words &/or opinions, but expect to be treated with the same respect I extend to those whose opinions I happen to see as...

Did you suggest that he fabricate some & set up a website to sell them? There's a lot of potential there, I think, cause most of us would be happy to buy 'local'.

Yep- in orange. Do you know where to find them, Pel? I'd like to get a couple more.

Gotta disagree, (surprise!). First, that defense is the main job of the President, (though it's certainly your main preoccupation, which is understandable, given your personal background). Defense is just one of many areas for which the President and his chosen delegates are responsible. It's...

Agreed: welfare should not be a permanent income - except in cases of disability. Agreed: "when the government puts it's hand in my pocket etc" - but the point is, the percentage that's used to assist the poor is just 1 - who complains about the 12% used for the middle class tax breaks...

The government has been redistributing the wealth ever since they began imposing taxes, fees, penalties, etc, to collect money, then giving it to whomever they chose, in amounts they chose - but I never heard anyone call them Marxist for it before Obama.

EVERONE has the power to overcome what ever is thrown at them. If that were true, we'd all be immortal, wouldn't we? Don't look to the past for todays failures. Layoutshooter But that's where I generally find the reason for mine: what I did (or failed to do) in the past. Sometimes, it's...

Y'all keep insisting (as does Bush himself) that he kept us from being attacked again - if you believe that, with no evidence except the fact that we haven't been attacked (again), then have I got a deal for you: an anti-lightning suit of my own invention, which I can prove is effective, as I've...

I found the bracketed 2x6 the most used method in a cargo van, but the straight truck I drive has a nifty bit of equipment too: a pr of metal sleeves that slide over load bars, with slots for the E track straps on each side. This allows you to run straps between load bars, securing the freight...

https://www.msu.edu/user/skourtes/myths.html Kind of an eye opener, eh? I just get sooooo tired of hearing the same rants about "lazy people collecting taxpayer money for nothing", and not a peep of outrage over the corporate welfare given to the very same greedheads who are responsible for the...

Ah, that classic Catch 22, faced by every teenager who needs a job.....best advice is to look for a smaller carrier, as they're more likely to be flexible about requirements. If you haven't got a CDL, you'll need to get that first, of course, and if you research the archives here, you'll find...

Thanks Dakota - I should have worded that better. Not even in one of my "blonde relapse" moments would I have poured the Coke into the fluid, lol. PS that newspaper tip is one that frugal housewives have used for many years, too, because it doesn't leave lint behind. :)

You know, Louixo, even with the rare dud (and if Johnny Carson could bomb, you're in good company), your batting avg at finding the gems is still WAAAAY above average.....thanks for all the real giggles you bring. :)

I've always added alcohol in the winter, and a few drops of dish soap in the summer - never heard of adding Coke. It sounds like a "you know you're a driver, when the windshield gets alcohol & Coke instead of the driver" line, lol. :D

What LM said - one of the best posts written in a long time. :)

Even so, some in the peanut gallery are discerning, with little tolerance for stupidity (no matter how erudite it sounds), and some are just nit pickers. I won't assign people to pigeonholes, but I will add that author Winston Groom never had Forrest's Mama telling him to "sniff the chocolates...

Layout: I was exaggerating a bit for the humor that's in it - I usually don't pile on more than 8-10 layers, really. ;) This past week was an exception, because both Chicago and Iowa were COLD!!! But I appreciate the info on cotton - something I hadn't known, and of course most of my clothes...

Lighten up, it was a joke, ok? As I'm a straight truck driver (in both senses of the word, if it matters;)) I'll say that Mjolnir's reply was the goods - whomever pays for fuel should get ALL the fuel surcharge, and a 60/40 split is the common division.

Whoever wrote it is stating how it should be, but isn't - our rights and liberties are affected by the acts of the lawbreakers at every turn. One obvious example is the requirement for random drug screens - sobriety checkpoints on the highways are another: law abiding folks being forced to...

I thought the "urging of worthless laws" was the problem, not the solution, lol. :p But the Constitution doesn't make an exception for mental defectives or sociopaths, so should they be entitled to own weapons too?
