    I had to do it.....

    What a play on a how we think thought. Mt son has a friend who has "your name" tattooed on his butt. He approaches people he doesn't know and tells them "$20 says I have your name tattoed on my butt" of course he always wins.

    A little humor to ease the pain at the pump

    Compare with Gasoline...... Think a gallon of gas is expensive? This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective. Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ...... $10.32 per gallon Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 ............$9.52 per gallon Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 ..... $10.17 per gallon Ocean...

    A Day in the Life

    Our travels have brought us down from Canada into upper state New York. We are traveling from Buffalo to Pittsburg. This part of New York is such a contrast from the New York City area we have all heard about. Our route is taking us through many small quaint towns, the “blue highways†we...

    Remember this?

    Sometimes on those long runs we tend to forget about the current issues and get off on rambling conversations. You know the drill, one is driving and the other can’t sleep. There is no traffic and it’s just dark. Then you suddenly remember something in your past and there it goes…..the...

    Come on in and sit a spell

    I spoke to a gentleman at the Expo who asked, "Coco, can I ask you just what you talk about in the Women's View?" I laughed to myself and wondered if he thought we had spyware to detect any male invaders. I gingerly invited him to join us and reminded him that sometimes the best advice for a...

    putting things into perspective

    This was a nice post to read. A visual perspective with no doubt would have to be The Heroes Truck. I can't tell you how many times I've not visited the truck because I thought it was just another truck. But, was I wrong. This year at the Expo I spent about 15 minutes and a complete roll of...

    Women Discussing Womens Issues-Expedite EXPO

    Our conference was attended by 14 women and 2 men. Both men won door prizes. We considered it a success. How do you measure success? Easy, everyone was talking at once at the end of the hour! We call that networking!

    Memory Foam Matress Pads

    Two things have worked for me. 1) Rubbermaid makes a non-skid shelf liner. Place a strp of it down the middle of the mattress and place the pad on top. 2) Non skid rug pads, the rug to rug kind will work too. An all cotton mattress pad helps. They may be pricey but if your in the South and can...

    How would you handle this?

    Obviously the woman feared your reaction or the reaction from any other woman in the room, that is why she made her remark and exited quickly. It was nice that you explained why you liked your job and just didn't say "it's ok", this would give her something to think about later. Good job!

    Getting exercise while in the truck

    A couple suggestions: Sit down sit ups While driving with both hands on the wheel at 10 and 2, contract your upper and lower abdomen and hold it for a count to ten. Each one counts as 1 situp. Wall pushups Stand about 15in from the wall. Place both palms against the wall and lean in...

    Rhonda Mitchell-Freightliner of Knoxville

    On July 16th we had an unfortunate accident in Winchester VA. Looking at the trucks missing door skin I doubted Tod's reasoning for driving to Knoxville for repairs to our 2006 Acterra. Anyway off we go 450 miles with no window and the door duct taped and bungee corded together. Being female...
