My grandma always told me that the frogs had to freeze up 3 times before warm weather was here to stay in the spring. When I was home all the time, I would pay attention in the spring to when I first heard the frogs, and every year she proved correct. Until the frogs have frozen up 3 times and...

"Gun control" makes no difference to me one way or the other. We do not own any guns, though I am going to inherit an unwanted one when my father dies. If laws and regulations get to the point where I will have to jump through hoops and pay extra taxes just to legally have that gun in my...

..."hop back into this truck over here and, hey, wait a minute. Where did the truck go?" said the lot lizard looking around the parking lot. Doug, seeing his chance, had thrown the truck into gear and skedaddled out of the lot as fast as he could, knocking over 2 garbage cans and barely...

Companies are losing money because people aren't spending, because people have no jobs, because companies have sent all the jobs overseas, and now they are losing money because people aren't spending, because people have no jobs, because companies have sent all the jobs overseas.. and round and...

Alcohol should be taxed at least as high as tobacco. It's addictive, it alters a person's brain and personality, it's potentially fatal if consumed in large quantities, and...

So I guess it would be a matter of one's personal opinion as to their economic class, depending on how well they either are or aren't able to afford to live the type of lifestyle that they are comfortable with. In your example, a "country person" who makes $30,000 a year and can comfortable...

Exactly! To look at things from another perspective than just "first out", say there is an area with 3 trucks sitting and a load comes up that is delivering in an area where 2 of the sitting drivers generally decline the load and the 3rd doesn't, it would make sense to offer the load to the 3rd...

Going by the 2009 Federal Poverty Guidelines and using an example of a family with 2 parents, each making minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, @40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that family has a before tax income of $30,160. That family would have to have 5 children to be considered "below poverty...

That story is actually false according to snopes.com Home Invasion Thwarted

When boiling water in a microwave, place a toothpick or a similar non-smooth, non-metallic object in the container. Water, when microwaved, can sometimes become superheated -- that is, it's actually above 212 degrees Fahrenheit. This is caused by a lack of bubbles forming (as opposed to the...

NBC is hoping it will provide some competition to FOX's new show, 4 In a Straight Truck, but production is going to depend on whether or not execs can convince the Dog to take a cut in pay (he has an inflated ego about being a "BIG STAR" and demanding royal treatment on set), and whether or not...

Probably not, unless blue is your color! ;)

And, the car seat would have to be seat-belted and tethered into the sleeper somehow. Have to change the diaper? Have to stop the truck first. Baby needs to be burped? Have to stop the truck first. Baby fussy and crying from sitting in the car seat for several hours and just needs to be...

We are in Columbia, NJ. No short load today so we just had the one run from Laredo to Hackensack, NJ this week. :(

And the postal service says they are going to run out of money by the end of the year and they need a bail out and want to cut down mail delivery to 5 days a week. *sigh* I need a bail out, think I can get one?

I can't figure out how a baby is going to be safely and legally strapped into a car seat while in the sleeper of the truck? Not to mention that the poor thing would end up having to be strapped into that seat every minute that the truck is moving. No, definitely not a good environment for a baby!

I, for one, believe that there are those doctors out there who are more interested in pushing through as many patients as possible in a day as they can, without actually taking the time to sit down with the patient and discuss their symptoms, problems, possible treatment options, etc. Typically...

Your wife's story is awful Layout, especially for the "day and age" that it happened in. It's a wonder they actually had a Dr. come in instead of some local old-lady midwife. Yes I'm very thankful for the clean, sterile hospitals that my kids were born in, even though 2 of them were delivered...

MentalGiant and I were driving from Orlando to Tampa that morning. We had just moved down to FL and were on our way to a job interview. We had stopped at a McDonalds for breakfast and someone had a radio on. I asked what was going on and someone said that some plane had hit a tower at an...

lol My mom is that kind of cook. No talent at all when it comes to preparing meals. The best meals she made were in the summer when everything came out of the garden, all chopped up and made into a huge chef salad for dinner.
