    I was in the foodservice industry for 16 years. No, I didn't get their hamburger helper. :D You have to be very careful what you eat at the Flying J. Their corporate cookbooks are 1001 Ways to Abuse a Chicken No, Really! You Can Eat This! #10 Can Heaven Nuke It, Nuke It, Nuke It Creative...

    Obama as Hitler

    Correct. They all have an agenda, I don't. And, incidentally, I've read each of those articles, and a few others, long before you posted them (although, a simple link would have been fine). Rather than let others tell me what to think and what things mean, I'll go and actually read things...

    Thanks, Moose. I just ate, and I'll be heading to bed soon. Got a pickup in the morning. :)

    Sleeper for Sprinter?

    You're right, it's not the best of times to get into expediting. It's quite probably the worst of times to get into it, especially with a new vehicle. If you plan on taking your retirement and paying cash, cash, cash for the vehicle and having zero debts when you start, as well as having at...

    Obama as Hitler

    And you believe that load of crap? Wow. Show me the link to the law that he's changed, or to the Executive Order where it removes the law that forces doctors and nurses to perform procedures that are against their religious and moral beliefs. You can't, and I know you can't, because there...

    Why would an owner charge a driver for tolls?

    Wi Fi Booster

    You can make these out of strainers, Chinese cooking skimmers, coffee cans (a cantanna), a spaghetti colander, almost any parabolic device or waveguide device. You can even make a very directional horn antenna using a tall juice can, or even a Pringles can with a funnel on the end of it. But the...

    Unlimited Phone calling and texting 44.95

    Doesn't take much research to find out if the company is legit or not. They're not. The "About Us" page on their Web site has nothing about "Us" at all. Additional research shows they are a wireless reseller wrapped up in a multilevel marketing scheme that is run by the same people who ran the...

    Sanitize the War?

    Let me apologize for the use of the word hate. It was the wrong word to use. More appropriate would have been "disdain, contempt, rancor and repugnance". :D A prominent news reporter for ABC News (I think) was honored, oh, I dunno, 4 or 5 years ago, and she was asked why she wanted to be a...

    And another APU question.

    Seems like you answered your own questions with the last paragraph. I would think that if you're going to have it on the truck for less than about 4-6 months, then the installation costs might be better delayed for the new truck, otherwise the sooner you can get it installed the more cost...

    Sanitize the War?

    It's not an easy or clear-cut issue. On the one hand, we have people who want to suppress information because they’re afraid of the political ramifications. The flag draped caskets are not identified, so the only real reason for suppressing them is to sanitize the war to one degree or another...

    What is the strangest load that you did as an expediter?

    The large box contains rags. The small box contains two rolls of duct tape, two 6 inch adjustable wrenches, a miniature paint roller and paint tray. All items are new and still in the original packaging. The tube contains a roll of stiff brown paper. > TAKE ALL BUT RAGS Taken. > GO NORTH...

    Read Your Contract!

    Well, yeah, if you mean for less than 9 months after his term ended as a member of the Driver Council. No, he'd been there a while. Longer than a while. ;)

    Sanitize the War?

    You can blame Obama if you like, but it's important.After December, the Christmas cheer died down. The e-mail messages were all short and sad -- the only thing that changed was the number of casualties. First it was one. Then two. Then four. Then seven. On April 7, 2004, the week of the bloody...

    Sanitize the War?

    "As the father and uncle of active military members and a former soldier I can say that those kinds of pictures are VERY personal and private." Hogwash. There's nothing personal or private about an unidentified flag draped casket, especially when it's a group of them. There's not even any...

    Sanitize the War?

    Except for the last one, all of the others were taken by military personnel. Well, the top three pictures, anyway, were taken by a military contractor who lost her job over it, when the pictures found their way onto the pages of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The local Seattle story here...

    Is it offensive

    Your avatar is not offensive in the least. What's offensive is the grammar and spelling in your sig. :D A [SPACE] after those commas, please. And please change that silly THAN to a THEN. :rolleyes: Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely yours, The Grammar Nazi.
