    Would you do this?

    It's quite possible the families involved are more than happy to milk their 15 minutes of fame. For some, being on TV is the be all, end all. I've heard in the past that people don't get paid to be on Oprah or any of those type of shows. They do get all expenses paid. Luxury hotel, 5 star meals...

    is its slow for everyone right now?

    "No, it is not slow for everyone, I am busy." It would appear the torch has been passed. You'll do just fine to fill the temporary vacancy, Greg. Congratulations!:+ ;)

    Fuel tax for vans

    Actually, the fuel on the car island is $.10 more than it is on the truck island using a DOT# in Indiana. The credit card policies will vary depending on where you buy fuel.

    Good for Goode!

    Your right Talcal, Ronny Raygun didn't help build houses for disadvantaged people. All he did was set in motion a healthy economy that gave those people a chance to support themselves. Certainly a more dignified way to get the things in life a person needs. A hands on approach to AIDS? What...

    Cheri, they're talking about freight brokers, not customs brokers.

    Fare Thee well, B.P.

    Benny Parsons passed Tuesday as a result of complications from cancer treatment. Phrases like "a truly class act" and a "genuinely kind and decent human being" are being used to describe him. He was absolutely my favorite among the current crop of NASCAR announcers. You could tell he was just...

    Dogs in trucks

    I've yet to see a dog that wasn't happy as can be to be with it's human. I'm a dog lover and would love the companionship. But, the hassle probably would be too much. The Caffees post pretty much confirmed what I've been thinking.

    HOW DID YOU DISCOVER EXPEDITING ???

    I discovered expediting back in the '80s when it was just starting to grow into what it is today. I started seeing vans that were hauling freight. When the first guy I talked to told me what he was making, I laughed and walked away. When the second guy had the same story, I thought there must be...

    Positive Government Programs

    What a great way to redirect welfare spending. I have no problem seeing my tax dollars spent in this way, as opposed to a handout. BTW Rich, this was a very well written piece. Concise and informative. Where did you put yourself on that list?

    Whatever happened?

    Aviator, ditto LDB's post for me. You are VERY appreciated. This is an enemy unlike any we have fought. Even if Iraq is wrapped up in the next couple of years, the larger battle will be something my grandchildren will probably be dealing with. It should continue until these animals are...

    The New Husband Store

    A BIG ROFL from me as well. I don't care who you are, that's funny! And, as we all know, the best comedy is based on the truths in life.

    This is a test

    Cheri, if you're trying to do a custom avatar, and good luck trying to come up with something cooler than a bulldog with it's tongue sticking out, you can't send it directly to your profile. My son sent Bob to a website that he stores pictures on and then to EO. BTW, the term I use to describe...

    Dale Jr. getting the boot ?

    Like Jayman, I wasn't a big fan of Senior's "if you can't pass 'em, crash 'em" style of racing. But, after he finally won Daytona and every team there lined up to congratulate him, I kind of softened my outlook on that. You know that a lot of those teams had problems with him at one time or...

    Division Playoff Picks

    Both Sunday games were good to the end. I'd like to thank Broompilot and his better half for their hospitality. The wings were great. I was surprised at the way THawk maintained his composure after the Seahawks lost. I could only speculate what it may have been like later on when he was alone in...

    Disability Insurance

    Tom, call the people you currently have your occupational policy with and they will send you info on getting an individual policy. They have some decent plans. BTW, my load cancelled and I'm back in Blacksburg.x(

    Why is ATEAM the only member you can't post feedba

    RE: Why is ATEAM the only member you can't post fe Say what? All I said was that you had gotten all positive feedback in the ratings. I just wondered why you would want to get out. How in the world did you take the few words I said as some kind of a shot? If you would rather not be rated...

    First time posting fears!

    Hawk, if this is the View, could you please indentify Rosie, Barbara, and the Donald for us? My hair is real, so I don't fit the profile for the Donald.

    Dale Jr. getting the boot ?

    Junior says that his relationship with Theresa hasn't changed since he was a kid. Maybe there are some things he hasn't outgrown. If it's that strained, a change may be better for everyone. Seems to me that being the most popular driver 4 years in a row would do in lieu of a championship.
