There is absolutely nothing wrong with the people of Iraq having freedom, but I don't see that it's America's responsibility to secure it for them. Patriotism isn't displayed by waving the flag, supporting the President no matter what, or saying "Love it or leave it", IMO. It's displayed by...

If we're all required to admire the Emperor's imaginary clothes, we might as well be living in Iraq.

Calm down, Bama - they're not going to ban smoking, & give up all the money it brings in when they keep raising the taxes on it. Until everyone buys cigarettes only from the Indian reservations, anyway.

Herronryan: Moot is too kind, what I know about Wifi would fit in a flea's ear, with plenty of room left for a Q Tip - but the subject has been covered on the Tech Forum pretty well. I used the TA Wifi, when they offered 2 for 1, for a month, but didn't like being restricted to truckstops. I...

JoeBob has the right idea, (yes, I actually said that!) though there is a difference between the everyday courtesy we should use, and 'kissing butt'. The latter is like insincere flattery, the former is how we behave as professionals. Whatever issues you have, is it the dispatcher's fault? If...

I will never forget a talk show I saw many years ago, the football player Rosey Grier was knitting or crocheting while he chatted with the host. It's pretty cool when you don't let stereotypes get in the way of doing what you'd like to do! :)

Like Gumby, my experience has been that the only accurate numbers on the Macro 8 are the miles to each board. I was told by dispatch that it's updated 3x a day, but no one knew what times that happens.

My keys - I'm not real good at burgling :P

Good info, John - does anyone know if there's anywhere on Staten Island where you can see the Statue of Liberty? Without doing the tourist thing, I mean - just driving or parking.

> You and I would be zoned out in totally >different worlds. lol > Sounds like perfect codrivers to me, lol - but seriously: when you took medication & everyone said you were weird, how did you feel? Cause that's what matters, not what anyone else thinks. Just my 2 cents :)

Chet, you're not a loser, & you have nothing to be sorry for - I wish I looked like Sophia Loren, but we're none of us perfect, you know. As for starting something. if you get a load, just throw it all on the bed, & go - you can clear it up when it's time to sleep. You know there are...

Sorry Jeffman, you can't avoid ice storms in Texas, either - last time I delivered in Dallas was in the middle of one!x( All that way for crummy weather...

I do, too. And I take exception to: Subway: Eat fresh! What, fresh lunchmeat? McDonald's: I'm lovin it! Cause I'm 5 years old, & don't know better! Nike: Just do it! After all those years of "just say no"? I'm SO confused! Arby's: Show your morning who's boss! The ad agencies. right? Giant...

I'd be real flattered by that, except I suspect it just means I'm the kind who's breathing, lol:P

Relax, JoeBob, the George Washington bridge is no worse than the Ambassador - and the graffiti is cool to look at while you wait in line, too.;)

Not me, mon - I get mine to go, lol:P One of the best things about driving a van, instead of t/t, is the freedom from the limitations of truckstops, but I'm wondering: can you go to restaurants, like Ryan's, in a C or D unit? I've never seen any there...

Wow - I've never stayed at a motel with a washer & dryer in the room! That beats the Family Garden's free Happy Hour at the pool cabana, lol.:7

Greg: I thought that ATeam's comments about teams vs solo to be accurate - as far as the time it takes to do the work involved, which I think is all he referred to. You don't need to have done it both ways to know that it goes much faster if there are two people working, ie: one routing, while...

If we begin holding responsible those who employ illegal aliens, we wouldn't have to send them home - they'd go back the same way they came in, without costing the taxpayers a cent. If there are no illegals to do the job, employers would be forced to pay wages high enough to attract workers. I...

If you like dumplings on top, 2 cups Bisquick & 2/3 cup milk, barely stirred together, dropped by spoonful onto the bubbling stew for 20 minutes, with a lid on the last 10, makes it just perfect! :) The same dumplings are also good on chicken & vegetables, too - yummy!
