Truer words have never been spoken. No one is immortal, you won't have one another forever. The big picture has to be the one in focus. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

I was never one of those kids who was embarassed by their parents. My dad taught us all how to handle and respect firearms, he taught my sister and me how to wire, plumb, change car tires and oil (so we wouldn't feel dependent on others); mom taught us cooking, sewing, and budgeting. I was...

I learned early on: Plans do not exist. I got lucky twice this year. He was in the position to accompany me to my niece's graduation from Vanderbilt, and he was home this past weekend for my birthday. I know that may not happen again for years. I know Thanksgiving is up in the air. If he is...

Oh, I missed this point at first... Jeffman and I pulled into Stockmen's back in late March. We parked and took about a half hour to assess the surroundings. What we saw in that time: 3 different raggedy vehicles pulled into the semi area, parked in front of trucks, and from them emerged...

Two credit unions. Lower or no fees. I keep the bulk of my money close to home, I have some I send 45 miles away and I have not enrolled in online services...that way I am not easily tempted to make an impulse purchase, but if something necessary and costly crops up, I can get to it. "Bruises...

Jeff's 2005 GMC Savana has the option to turn the switch all the way left to kill the headlights, as did the 2006 Chevy van. The 2002 Ford cube had the old style "off " switch which overrode the DRL. My 2001 Impala had to be in neutral, park, or have the parking brake set to kill the lights...

Okay then: the primary, customary, recognized language that this country teaches as first dialect in schools, uses to conduct business, and utilizes during citizenship inauguration ceremonies. That language. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo...

Eagle Pass, TX. Never before have I felt like a foreigner in my own country, not even in Laredo. At Wallyworld, every employee actively working was speaking Spanish to one another. At the checkout, the Mexican cashier and I made small talk in English...then she proceeded to count my change back...

I have a brother-in-law up for grabs. He doesn't know it yet, though. We just have to tell him we're taking him to an Aerosmith concert, he'll jump right in the car. My sister will get over it in about 3....2....1.... "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" ...

We're not married but we might as well be. I knew from day 1 how OTR work would keep him away. He was very up front about it immediately, he wanted to make certain I understood, as many ex girlfriends before said they did then couldn't handle it. I have a bit of experience in handling things on...

Thermal underwear, fleece sleepwear, 7 lbs if blankets which includes 2 sleeping bags and a wool blanket. Use a heater to heat the sleeping area before bedtime. Heavy thermal curtains between the cab and the bed. Tomorrow's clothes are tucked into bed with us to stay warm. Body heat. First thing...

I use the mail order gig for my Januvia. I got my first one filled at Rite Aid and then transferred to Medco so it was filled well before the original ran out. This way I stay 20 pills ahead of the game. I have neighbors who are RV Retirees, they use Walgreen's, and say they have never had a...

When fuel went up 28% in a year's time and carrier pay rates 5%, that was the final straw for Jeffman. On top of everything else that had started happening in the business, this occurence was his See Ya Wouldn't Want To Be Ya moment. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined...

I think the weak link in NAFTA is Mexico. Sorry, but they are a Third World country on a predominantly First World continent. The baloney we were fed that it would "improve" Mexico's standard of living to a level of ours and Canada's was just that: BALONEY. I believe that spin was used to try to...

Depends where we were, how long we had been out. His personal experience led him to know if he didn't get a run by 6 pm Monday through Friday or 2 pm Saturday, it was more than likely not going to happen. Only once in the last year did he get a 9 pm call out of Kentucky to Austin, TX. Most...

I turned on the tv to pop over to the Weather Channel, and saw the crash as it happened (the tv was tuned to that channel when I turned it on). Creepy to watch it unfold. Seeing Wheldon's car tarped immediately spoke volumes. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER"...

If I was the restaurant manager there, I would want to know the whereabouts of the turkey baster at all times from here on out. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

Probably not as much as you think. Alot of threads out here will give you insight into variables of the trade. Hopefully you are not of the "easy money" mindset, like the local party store owner in my town who thought popping out a fleet of 10 vans would be easy cash flow (he had never been...

That is the way it was explained to me also. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008
