    Welcome to Wal-Mart

    Similar to the trucker's hitch, but different.

    They don't talk about him much in the Bible, but after John the Baptist did his thing, John the dryer did his.

    Welcome to Wal-Mart

    No, there's no loophole. The language filters with the new software isn't as aggressive as the old site was. Even after tweaking it, the new censored word list contains but a small fraction of the words contained on he old list. We loosened up the censored word list in order to let conversations...

    June in Load One land

    I just delivered to what Dispatcher kid called pohm-PAAAH-no Beach (or what I like to call "OMG it's so hot and muggy already"). Looking forward to a leisurely nap. I may run up to The Villages and visit my stepdad on Father's Day. Sunday is also the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year...

    Welcome to Wal-Mart

    Never been to Costco, but I have Sam's. That's a little different because both parties want to make sure transaction piece counts are accurate, not unlike piece counts in freight shipments. But mainly, checking the goods against the receipt is part of the signed membership agreement.

    You may want to do some research about something called "common law marriage." You'll be shocked.

    Welcome to Wal-Mart

    Seriously. You do not have to prove ownership. When they want to check my receipt against my purchases, and so do without probable cause of even reasonable suspicion, they're accusing me of theft and ate requiring me to prove my innocence. They're are plenty of people who are perfectly fine...

    Look, you came on here screaming that Social Security isn't an entitlement, because Social Security is <insert definition of entitlement here> as proof that Social Security isn't an <insert definition of entitlement here>. I agreed with you, and noted that nevertheless Social Security, which is...

    Welcome to Wal-Mart

    I have never allowed a receipt checker to view my receipt. Nor will I. Once you have purchased something it belongs to you, you can do with it whatever you want, and you do not have to prove ownership. If they think you stole something, the burden of proof is on them, not you. They must have...

    I can prove that for the price of a Twinkle.

    Yeah, it would be wrong. Raising the price for certain people because they are a member of a group is discrimination. The problems these Christians are having with baking wedding cakes for gay weddings is they are refusing to do so based on religious beliefs. There is nothing religious about...

    If you aren't charged a fee, that's good. I really don't want to publicly announce my bank, but, for example, US Bank, and my previous bank, Regions, both charge 50 cents for a mobile picture deposit. More and more, banks are looking to monetize mobile banking with fees. Regions, in addition...

    The same can be said for the two different animals of "trucking" and "expediting."

    Which Expediter Will Be the First to Use Driver Cams?

    The Qualcomm also has a tangible benefit to the driver, versus a (statistically rare) theoretical benefit of a cab cam. For the driver, the Qualcomm is low risk, high reward. The cab cam exactly the opposite.

    The Brian Williams saga.

    In the effort of MSNBC to move away from opinion programming to unimpassioned hard news journalism, Brian Williams will add a much needed gravitas and legitimacy to the network. (was tough to type that without laughing)

    If there is an error in my posts I prefer that it be pointed out. Information needs to be accurate. Yes, SS is referred to at an Earned Benefit. It is also referred to as Government Pensions. Both are entitlements because people are entitled to those benefits. In the federal government, the...

    Welfare reform

    If you read the page you'll see the referenced government documents and publications. If you watch C-SPAN, or the news, you'll see Congress, the president, the CBO, the Treasury and other government entities refer to the three budgetary categories (Entitlements, Defense, Other). Go read the...

    Welfare reform

    Do I look like I'm in charge of lumping? I lump them because the government does, because it's listed that way in the budget, and because, as I earlier stated, the word "entitlement" has long been the standard terminology for payments made under government programs that guarantee and provide...
