    WHY DO EXPEDITORS LIE !!!!!!!!!!

    Expediters, like every other category of people, are like snowflakes: all the same, but each one different. For every one who speaks truth, there's one who lies, etc, ad nauseum. All we can do is judge each individually, based on what we believe to be the truth, and behave accordingly. All too...

    First Time for Everything

    Well, that settles a quetion I've sometimes wondered about: which branch of the military produces the toughest soldiers? I think the Marines, cause it takes a whole lotta guts to admit to being scared that donating blood might hurt!;) Whatever convinced you to do it, Arkjar, keep it up. Not...

    heading out got cancelled

    There is a very simple maxim that was drilled into our heads in nursing school that can (and generally will, in a court of law) resolve most, if not all, disputes: if it isn't documented, it didn't happen. As much as we might like to take someone's word as their bond, doing so is extremely...

    Um, Fearless Leader: that WAS our 'regularly scheduled programming'! :P

    Slingbox

    That Anna is a regular on another site is something we can't all be expected to know, is it? That Anna wanted to share a product she enjoys, is something we welcome, and appreciate - but for a first ever post to begin with an advertisement, can you really wonder that some are sceptical? After...

    Vigilance is needed

    Now I'm confused! Which side of the issue are you on, Greg, and what does the first &/or latest books have to do with it? The agenda here is one pushed by the huge multinational corporations, which means it's not in the citizens' best interests, but the corporation's. Which means it's good...

    Our people in service

    The spelling isn't nearly as important as the contribution, Barney - thanks. I will mail my old cellphone ASAP, with gratitude, knowing it's doing something better than taking up space. ( And with some amusement, too, because my old cellphone is completely redecorated, in shades of blue...

    States restrict truck traffic

    The Joe Blow who is texting, talking, and/or shaving while driving, isn't terrified of trucks, or anything else - until he wrecks, that is. The Joe Blow who is afraid to drive next to a truck is 60 to 80 yrs old, and their fears get taken seriously, (even though they're irrational fears, based...

    States restrict truck traffic

    The one quote that defines the entire issue is from Gerald Donaldson, Senior Research Director of the Advocates for Highway & Auto Safety: "Joe Blow is terrified. There is a greater proportion of trucks in the traffic stream than 10 years ago...We have more older drivers than we've ever had, and...

    Canada Watch your speed in Canada

    I've driven a lot of miles on the 401, it's a good highway. And the problem with idiots racing on a public highway isn't just in Canada, we have plenty of them in the U.S. too. (A much bigger problem, I think, since the very first "2 Fast, 2 Furious" movie came out, beginning a surge in interest...

    Gift suggestion

    what can >you buy for someone like her? What she'd probably like, is the Muse's suggestion: a spa/manicure gift card. What I'd give, though, is a giftcard to a bookstore, (better make it one located in the mall, I'm thinking, lol), just as a gentle nudge to use her brain a little, maybe...

    heading out, need advice

    Confronting a stranger with disgust or contempt for their behavior is not a course of action most would recommend. In an age when people have learned that even a bumpersticker can offend someone to the point that you risk finding your vehicle 'vandalized', getting 'in their face' could be...

    Location

    Except for orientation, the company's location doesn't make any difference - with the internet, fax, US Mail, and Trippak, how often will you need to go to "the office"? Even if you're selected for a random drug screen, they will direct you to a location near where you are, when they want it...

    Canada Watch your speed in Canada

    RE: Ten and Two (was) - RE: Watch your speed in Ca That it could be an offense to remove one hand from the wheel, is what I found ludicrous, and my original question was whether the ludicrous law only applied to commercial drivers. That it was in Canada was irrelevant, as we get some pretty...

    Starbucks typo

    Greg, I don't know how many toddlers drink coffee, but I do know how many are liable to choke on something they had no business putting in their mouth: every last little one of them, because that's what toddlers DO.

    Should a teacher be allowed to carry a gun?

    The biggest benefit of permitting the carrying of concealed weapons is that whether there is an appropriately prepared adult onsite or not doesn't matter - that there MIGHT be is a powerful deterrent.

    Even more important: how could parents reach around to smack the rowdy kids in the back seat? That's an important part of a parent's arsenal!:P

    Canada Watch your speed in Canada

    Not a bad idea? It's a ludicrous idea! As Terry pointed out, how can one shift gears? Or use the various controls for heat/ac. lights, wipers/washers, etc?

    wd-40 who knew??

    About a month ago, I was informed, by CB, that something was dragging under my truck. Pulled onto the shoulder, and found the muffler on the generator had come undone. I wired it back up with a coat hanger, (didn't have any baling wire), and continued on my way, happy that I've long been able to...
