    Hey-- It is Friday the 13th.

    I was born on Friday September the 13th. Just like today. My birth certificate shows the time of birth as being 1:13PM, which is 1313 hours. I don't believe that for a minute. I think the doctor just had a great sense of humor. I was probably born sometime between 1300 and 1330, but at exactly...

    Re: AH September,Start of Football, Cooler Weather and Hotter Freight. So where are y Thank you. :) So, I'm sitting in Laredo. Nothing goes out for a couple of days. My Medical card expires on Saturday the 14th, but I really don't want to deadhead home 1000 miles just for that. Safety (you...

    Birthday! Happy Birthday Shelled One!

    Woke up this morning to a random, and this afternoon replaced a shredded serpentine belt in the TA parking lot. In Laredo. All in all a good day. :D

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    You want to dictate to people what they can do with the stuff Robin Hood gives them? Well Sheriff, wouldn't it be better to have a sit-down with Robin Hood?

    Well Played Mr. President!

    Of course I do. It's all good. :D You didn't. Brisco brings his own pot. It's what he lives for.

    Possibly. Depends on how you look at it.

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    I don't think a WiFi-only phone would work very well in expediting. But they're popular with people who live near free WiFi hotspots, like in the inner city or in large apartment complexes, or have WiFi both at home and at work.

    Generally, WiFi-only data.

    What's fair and equitable

    No, not attacked by a small shore bird. It's also not an engineer on a navy ship, nor is it a last second eBay bid. I just got through explaining what a snipe is in the context of a forum thread, and you come up with "a small shore bird." Good grief. No wonder you are confused.

    Neither. You can get a smartphone for $20 a month, too.

    No, it is not.

    What's fair and equitable

    I don't know that it is any different. It was your caveat, not mine. I never said it was stable, I merely said it was as stable as being paid by the mile as with Panther. Neither is very stable. While being paid by the mile you have no idea from day to day what the miles will be, but when being...

    To expedite or not to expedite

    Everybody's busy. It's September.

    Well Played Mr. President!

    The reason no one recognizes it is because it's not there. I could almost buy it (not really, but for the sake of argument) if at any time in his entire presidency he showed a hint, a scintilla, a gossamer's wing of brilliance. But he hasn't. He's been either bumbling like a fall-down drunk, or...

    Well Played Mr. President!

    Huh? What are you talking about? A protocol is defined with two primary definitions, one being that of the customs and regulations dealing with diplomatic formality, precedence, and etiquette, and the other being that of a treaty or agreement between states. It is also the draft document from...

    TV and Computer

    I'm grandfathered in on the unlimited Verizon data plan, so that's how I get 95% of my Internet. I have a Tailgater Dish Network setup, so that's how I get satellite TV in the truck.

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    Yet they cannot become productive and regain their pride when you priovide them with just enough to survive on and nothing more. I don't disagree with that, but, too many people are under the assumption that if all welfare suddenly disappeared because those wages were no longer "stolen" from...

    Well Played Mr. President!

    The Geneva Protocol of 1925, for one. The General Purpose Criterion for another. Both of these deal with the international laws of the use of chemical weapons. The Geneva Protocol explicitly prevents the use of chemical weapons, and the General Purpose Criterion lays out that you will be...

    Drug Testing for Welfare Recipients

    Of course it is. You can claim it's not all you want, but the end result is both of the above. You want them to be miserable, miserable enough to have them get off their butts and find a job, because you think if they are miserable enough, they will. Leo, if someone is on welfare and they have...

    What's fair and equitable

    You just answered your own question. If people don't know what their time is worth (A.K.A., IGNORANT ABOUT THEIR WORTH), it is easy to take advantage of them. Just because someone is ignorant of what they're worth, or of the prevailing rates in the industry, it does not justify taking advantage...
