Irregardless is an unholy union of regardless and irrespective, just in time for Xmas!

I mostly collect "Happy Holidays", "Seasons Greetings" and "Happy Kwanza" cards, and send them anonymously to Amonger.

Diluting our culture? Are you saying that a culture should never change, that it should always remain the same? I realize that you've never stated as much, but that's what your statement continue to imply. Diluting, eroding, are both causes of change. Since you don't want things to dilute or...

The absolute minimum for payload capacity, with a full tank of fuel and allowing 150 pounds for a driver and 150 pounds for securements and personal items (300 pounds total) would be 2000 pounds. The practical minimum is 2500 pounds, since 2 skids and 2500 pounds is what the industry expects. So...

Yet the world is still here, still turning on its axis, and we're all still here, too. There's nothing new under the sun. What goes around comes around. It's happened many times before, and it'll happen many times again. No point in getting too worked up over it, 'cause it's gonna happen...

You ever read the headlines of America? New York? Chicago?

Sorry, no. "I couldn't care less" literally means that it is impossible to care any less about something. Someone may indeed say such a thing sarcastically, but, irregardless, it's meaning is nonetheless absolute. "I could care less", on other other hand, means the exact opposite, that it is...

"I could care less" is the sarcastic euphemism for the literal "I couldn't care less." Both mean exactly the same thing.

Kwanza isn't fictitious, it's quite real. It's a recently created holiday, first celebrated in 1966, but so was Christmas at one point early on. Kwanza is, absolutely, a gift-giving occasion. Actually, it is. Traditionally the Hanikkah gift was gelt, and the more "Christsmassy" type of gift...

Ive been standing right next to Pete twice, talked with him once briefly, though we've never actually met. Both times it didn't dawn on me until after he had walked away as to who it was.

I haven't seen them in Detroit, but out west, like in Washington, and I'm sure other places, they have what amounts to a milk-only convenience store just inside the border in the US, where Canadians come to buy milk. The Canadian milk producers are not happy. :D

Clearly, I have no idea what "western" means. Incidentally, Saturnalia was the original western holiday, in Rome. Unless Rome doesn't qualify as being western. Primary festivities included feasting and multi-gift giving. You don't think the tradition of giving gifts at Christmas came from the...

"What do you want for the holidays?" is certainly easier to say than is, "What do you want for Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, New Years, or Saturnalia?" Personally, I think AT&T hates Kwanzaa. And Boxing Day.

I'd be interested in the facts of how someone was not only able to take over the company bank account, but was also able to lock the primary account holder out. I won't even ask how you were able to so quickly and easily give up that much control over the business you worked so hard to build.

I really don't know. I don't think Bobwg has posted anything in this thread. But in any case, most of the time I can read and reply to something, and then 10 seconds later not be able to tell you who wrote what I responded to.

"Something for Stevie" is a work of fiction by author Dan Anderson, published in rpm Magazine for Truckers in November 1998 and reprised in the 2000 book Stories for a Faithful Heart. Just because it's not true doesn't mean it's not any good, though. Libraries are filled with really good books...

The difference is, I stayed on point with the issue, while you strayed from the issue in order to make a personal remark with the typing lesson snark. When you do that, it should not surprise you to receive a snark in return. All that people here after telling you is, you can choose to remain...

GOOD customer service mean providing the service you are contracted to provide. It doesn't mean stepping outside the bounds of the contract, be it obvious or otherwise.

True dat

Actually it doesn't. She's spot on. Your views on it being a simple customer service aspect are extremely short-sighted, and while it doesn't necessarily indicate a complete lack of understanding, it indicates a significant lack of understanding of what a Bill of Lading is, what is to be on it...
