Colonel, I know why I don't look in the mirror: I sometimes feel a bit wiser than I used to be, but looking in the mirror reminds me of how I got to be that way, lol. I tend to agree with the "I want it NOW!" mentality, though. Course, it was much easier to instill a work ethic back when there...

PS - the umbrella bags hold a pair of my shoes, but boots, or larger shoes, would probably need a bag for each. Good thing they're free, lol.;)

Coming out of a WalMart the other day, I saw a stand with free "wet umbrella" bags. I grabbed a couple, and found that they're also good for putting shoes in - being transparent, you can see which shoes are in there. Keeping several pairs of shoes is a neccessity for me, and storing them is a...

If that's the standard of a "real woman", there are actually more men who qualify for the title! :P

One good way to pass some downtime, is reading magazines on a subject of interest to you. OOIDA's Landline is a given, and you can find mags devoted to every subject there is. A subscription isn't too expensive, you can toss them in your truck for reading later when you collect your mail, (I put...

Great, Dieselphreak - now, how do you spiff it up for Christmas?! :P

It would be nice if everyone slowed down or moved over for EVERY (occupied) vehicle on the shoulder. If you've ever stood there, getting blown away by the breeze of passing vehicles, you'd know why - it's truly scary.

It's "racist" to complain that you can't understand a foreign language in an English-speaking school?! What does "race" have to do with it? Common courtesy and common sense are fast becoming oxymorons, I think.

Dale's idea was one I was trying to figure out - how to attach a hedgehog, or just a shoe brush to the step. My book on cleaning, written by the expert Clean Team, says to minimize the dirt coming inside, by using good barriers outside the door. It takes adapting to make it work for a truck...

One more time, and then I rest my case, and shut up. (I can hear the muttered "Thank Gods!, lol) No one is asking anyone to cater to the 14% - if you accept an NBC poll as an accurate number, which is not likely. What is expected is that the government of the country follow the rules, which...

>Ok Cheri keep off Liberty Ave that is mine, you can work >Grant Street. I have to ask, since I don't do things halfway, how's the weather on Grant Street? If I'm gonna stand there all day, every day, I want blue skies & sunshine, and an average daily temp of 70 - why should I be...

RE: No bashing, a little advice to X-Conway Now Ow Google (or your favorite search engine) Drivers Daily Log :)

Judging by the results the fake panhandlers from the Pittsburg radio stations got, you can see why a peanut butter sandwich doesn't impress them, lol. But really-$2500 in one day?! Think I just decided what my Plan B will be, if expediting falls through! ;)

RE: Anyone Turned Back For Paperwork Not Being Cle This situation is one I was hoping to help someone avoid, when I posted just 12 hrs prior to the first post here - it's a shame they hadn't a chance to read it. To reiterate: always call the broker BEFORE leaving the shipper, to ensure...

Totally offtopic here, but DieselPhreak, please reassure us: your codriver's nickname isn't short for "jailbird", right? :+

If you don't see the door that opens when this one closes, go in through a window - you're around my age, & we haven't got that much time to waste. (I meant that metaphorically - burglary may be lucrative, but it's not for the inexperienced) Seriously, let us know how you're doing, ok? :)

I can understand that warm & fuzzy feeling of having been helpful, but the way I'm going to get the feeling from now on is to inform the beggars that I've already given. To the government, which runs social service agencies to assist the needy, and to organizations such as the Salvation Army...

Thanks for describing the wildlife dispersal thingamajig - I thought you meant a "No lot lizards" sign :+

I carry with me always, what I consider to be the most useful tool - money. It's very lightweight, even cash, and it can accomplish any repair, without getting me dirty, greasy, and/or bloody & bruised. My knowledge base of fixit issues is inadequate for more than the simple repairs, ie: I can...

I would like to add that once you've faxed the paperwork to the broker, from the shipper, it is a very good idea to wait a few minutes, then phone the broker to ensure that the paperwork was received, and contains all needed info, before leaving the shipper. This doesn't guarantee a troublefree...
