    Using the F word... fair warning

    I don't listen to Rush or Bill (Oreilly I assume you mean). In either case, as to the sophomoric comment, if you have a personal problem with me, send me a PM, otherwise grow up and see if you have the intelligence to stick to the issues rather than making it personal. Come up with your own...

    3 Months done, 7.75 years to go!

    We are the Borg. You will be assimilated into the collective. Resistance is futile.

    Using the F word... fair warning

    "The EPA has deemed co2 harmful to human life." Well, it is. If you don't exhale CO2 you'll die. Aristotle: The "mockery" is a line from George Carlin. If you read it carefully, you'll see why it's hilarious. By that logic I should be a liberal Democrat, but I'm not. Most of your...

    Tips for Handling Telemarketers

    I always send junk back in the pre-paid envelopes. My neighbor is my mailman. He tells me that junk mail is their bread and butter, without it they'd be out of business, so he suggested the return mail thing to me a long time ago. :)

    It's Spring!

    Don't forget that saline (salt water) nasal spray. Like I said, I've used that alone, no other medications needed, on many occasions. The saline (salt) does double duty. It shrinks the membranes, but in a gentle and more natural way, thus eliminating the over-swelling when it wears off. Plus...

    It's Spring!

    Mucinex D contains a combination of guaifenesin and pseudoephedrine. Guaifenesin is an expectorant. It helps loosen congestion in your chest and throat, making it easier to cough out through your mouth. Guaifenesin cough syrups will generally work better than Guaifenesin pills will as a chest...

    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    "Born free, taxed to death." That's the campaign platform right there. Or at least a really good bumper sticker.

    How to clean a toilet

    We once had a cat that would jump into the clothes dryer as soon as the door was opened, cause he liked the warm clothes. Drove my mom crazy. Finally, I told her I could put a stop to it once and for all. Closed the door, turned on the dryer for one revolution, opened the door, and the blur that...

    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    Well, that's the thing, at least with me. I have a real problem with someone telling me that I'm lying without them having a reason for saying so.

    A Thought about Speed Limiters

    When I go to Canada I look at it like I'm a guest of their country, and I behave accordingly. They don't have to let me in, so if they do, the least I could do is respect my host.

    Thanks to EO member for help

    I dunno. Looks like a setup, a conspiratorial planned thread. Khalid posts in praise of Dave, Dave is the first to respond, and does so with what by all reason is a PM. It's a troll, nothing more. Dave thinks the whole EO World is out to get him simply because we refuse to take his words, or...

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    They are doing it, and they are getting away with it, so far. So far, no one has challenged it in court, which is surprising, since it's been going on in Minnesota for quite some time. This is something that OOIDA should have filed suit on a long time ago, but they haven't. The checklist...

    Probable short term assignment????

    You expect to run hard, and make money. You expect too much. The days of jumping into expediting for a couple of months for a quick and easy buck are long gone. You may luck into someone who is looking for a temporary driver, but they are few and far between. Best bet is to call recruiters and...

    More BS about Fatigued Drivers

    "The questionnaire in both states is voluntary. However, truckers are often unaware that they’re going through an interview process that can lead to them being put out of service – or fined." That's entrapment, and if fines are involved, coerced self-incrimination. Even an OOIDA lawyer should...

    Canada makes waves battling Somali pirates

    I know a way to make a lot more money than by outfitting a few boats and selling your services. You could outfit a few boats and go into the piracy business, pull in a few mil per boat.
