    FAA to "check" overweight pilots for restful sleep..

    Wish mine was. For the most part it is OK. IF I ever find a way out of this business, and can live a better life, more hunting, fishing etc, it will come down. Along with my weight. The BP will always need meds to control it. Mine went up when I was much lighter than I am now and was working...

    America today and the one in 1941..................

    Flunked US history, eh? :p Freedom is a VERY liberal idea, and it is very rare. Our government is working hard to remove as much freedom from us as they can. This is nothing new. They have been doing this for more than a century. They are attacking our freedoms on all fronts. That is NOT...

    Jailed for a 5 cent theft

    I have never charged my phone, or laptop, at an outlet that was not provided for that reason. Many places provide that service as a draw to bring in customers. Even when there is provided power I rarely use it. I keep my devices charged in the truck. I seldom take my laptop out of the truck...

    FAA to "check" overweight pilots for restful sleep..

    I don't get the DOT done at the VA because it would mean ANOTHER 90 mile round trip. I really don't see the need for the DOT physical. I see my DR a minimum of every 6 months. Everything is well documented. The DOT is redundant. My BP is fine and has been well controlled for over 20 years...

    America today and the one in 1941..................

    I FIRMLY believe in the VERY liberal ideals that this country was based on. Individual rights. A government controlled BY the People where the People hold the ultimate power. Where the rights are not granted or controlled by the government and ONLY the People and the States have rights. Where...

    America today and the one in 1941..................

    Speak for yourself. Please don't include me in the lunacy that was part of the '60's. I was not smoking pot or doing any of the silly stuff. I was hunting, shooting and fishing. I worked, started at age 8 or 9 with a paper route and was working dances, in a band, starting at 11. Then, after...

    Jailed for a 5 cent theft

    The man? in question is a thief and a moocher, by his own words. If he cannot "think" beyond fueling a vehicle and charging a laptop, he is an idiot as well.

    Boycott the NFL

    This discussion is a waste of time. In Japan there never was an "us vs them" system. I will not go into the rest of your post, you obviously have little background in this. The rest is best left unsaid as it could be construed as being degrading to you and I don't want to play that game. There...

    What Is Your Favorite Christmas Tune?

    My first guess is that most of us "geezers" have more class than that! :p:cool:

    It's not in ANY way shape or form. Theft is theft.

    "The Dept of Transportation has new regulations, effective May 1, 2014, that requires that all doctors doing DOT physicals pass a training course and be certified by the DOT to do those physicals. Will the VA be able to perform this service? I am due by Jan 3, so this next physical will not fall...

    I have almost 14 YEARS of medical history with my primary care DR. Written records, unbroken, going back until 1998. Yet, they mean nothing. ONLY a federally "blessed" DR knows anything according to the DOT. ALL that time is not equal to a 15 minute exam in the eyes of the DOT. Talk about a...

    FAA to "check" overweight pilots for restful sleep..

    My DR at the VA will not be allowed to give DOT physicals. Military DR's will not. They ALL must be "Approved" by the Feds. That SHOULD scare the pants off of everyone, it won't, but it should. A government in TOTAL control of health care is a VERY dangerous beast.

    " but think a better approach would be to beef up the penalties significantly for the cheating drivers." It would be IF safety was the primary goal of the new regulations, which it is not.

    Saturday, It is Pearl Harbor Day

    We are only one, or two at the most, generations away from forgetting. It means little now. What a shame.

    They were not held back by the government like the generations since. Look at what was funded, who made the money, the story is clear.

    Wadda you expect anyway? The parent company of the SOLE BIDDER for that website was a CANADIAN company. A SOLE BID on a project THAT BIG? And they go on about DOD bid rigging? What a JOKE! Little doubt the Demoncrats are running this mess. :mad:

    The ALCAN highway was started on March 8, 1942 and completed on Oct, 28, 1942. Of course, it was only 1700 miles long through a total wilderness, nothing nearly has hard as putting together a web site. :rolleyes: I wonder how many DIED building that web site? Must have been HARD on them. SO many...

    Just going by what a DR on the radio said. He claimed a 40 course, mandatory, US government course. I too had to have CME when I was an EMT. Normally was a week long course, about 3-5 hours per day, per year. CME depended on the state. Funny, we begrudge doctors, who have untold hours of...
