My experience has been the same as Greg's: more expedite loads from Toyota & Honda. The loads pay more than NLM, and the plant employees are easier to deal with, too. The biggest factor in my decision making process, though, when I'm buying a personal vehicle, is that while the 'American'...

I'm referring to the first time you went to a concert, in case you thought otherwise...The other music-oriented threads have been so popular, I just thought here's a chance to show your age, lol.;) My first time was Ray Charles & Gladys Knight, in 1971, and I was hooked on live music from then...

I agree with Rich totally, and raised my daughters the same: I knew their friends, and their friends' families, too, because I made a point of knowing, and being involved. But at the same time, I bet we all know of a family with several children, all of whom turned out well, but one, who...

If there is no such thing as luck, how to account for all the lottery tickets sold? (After all, someone wins the money.) Judging by the aftermath for many winners, I can't believe brains had much to do with it...;) And wouldn't sheer luck play a part in whether your truck suffers an...

Yes, Jay, you are the victim, but you are just as much at fault, if the oil analysis was available before you bought the truck, but you didn't look at it until afterwards. Buyer beware is absolutely correct, and it's an expensive lesson to learn, I'm sure. Hopefully your experience will remind...

One more winter hazard to BOLO (be on lookout for, in our acronyminous culture): the poor deluded soul who believes the "off road" label on his sport utility allows him to bend, f not break, the laws of physics. (Even though, or maybe because, the only time they actually go offroad, is into a...

It seems to me, the question of whether 'war for oil' is justifiable is not the issue here. The issue is that war for oil is not what Congress & the American people were told we were signing up for. We thought we were going to put some WMDs out of commission, which would have been acceptable...

When the only offers coming in are at lowball prices, and even basic trucks are a tough sell in a saturated market, it'll get real interesting, that's for sure!

I haven't done this in the Burton stove, (am wondering whatever happened to mine?) but an excellent dinner is a chunk of beef, Lipton dry onion soup mix, and a can of cream of mushroom soup, no water added. Cooked slow, it's a lovely roast with gravy - yummy! You can add mushrooms, too, for...

RE: Best Concert you have ever been two OK top thr Me too, (envious), but I did get to see Mahavishnu Orchestra, and even sat in the front row, at The Front Row, lol. Three amazing guitarists, no doubt! The thing about really good concerts, though, is that they were often like the old saw...

You don't need anything extra for the dirty laundry, you can put it in a pillowcase.;)

That delivery was fairly amusing, as my GPS put the checkered flag (a touch that still cracks me up) on the far side o Broadway, on Tivoli St. I didn't see the number, or the name I was looking for, so I called the consignee to ask what the building looked like. It was the first time the reply...

Here's one: a recent delivery in Albany, NY, turned out to be to what used to be the RCA Bldg, and the present company kept the famous dog (Moot says it's name is Nipper) on the roof. Turtle, I find it hard to believe that I, (a computeretard) can do something that you, (a computer ubergeek)...

Much as I'd like to be paid for all odometer miles, I can't blame the carriers for refusing to pay for extra miles due to missed turns, driver preference (ie: interstate instead of highways, avoiding toll roads, etc), or 'shortcuts' that turned out not to be. As Arkjarhead stated, the miles...

Leo's site is excellent, (I bookmarked it), but for up to the minute reports on local conditions, the CB is invaluable - when the weather/roads are bad, it'll be THE subject of conversation.

Knowing that traction is best when accelerating, fair when cruising, and poor when braking, I always slow down before a curve, and gently accelerate through it & this is especially important on wet/snowy roads. Another thing to beware of: fallen leaves, if wet, can be quite slick, and a fair...

It seems so easy for illegals from Mexico to get into the US, and stay, that a lady I know, who is dealing with the endless & expensive red tape to get her foreign born husband here legally, is now thinking that maybe she should rename him Pedro, and have him sneak in. Sadly, it would be...

I don't know how many households have internet access, but I do know a few older folks who don't, and can't be persuaded to try it, either. (My mother says she's too old to learn anything new, and one of my aunts is a Luddite, I think - she won't even get an answering machine on her phone - can...

Pelicn, that was a GREAT post! :) :) :) I am so proud of my adult daughter, who is going to nursing school, running her home & two little girls, (ok, her husband helps a little, with the girls, at least), and tending bar both Sat & Sun - I don't know how she gets it all in! I got to visit her...

I won't say who was wearing it, but I saw a t shirt that said "FedSex: when you absolutely, positively have to have it every night" :7
