Moot: is "Real World" one of those reality shows? And isn't it surreal, watching people watching reality shows on television? If they like reality, why are they watching television, anyway? :+

Note: if one of the Mods chooses to move this thread to the Soapbox, I'd understand - it's where I thought it was in the first place, lol. :+

THawk: I said rioting in the streets is not a good thing - it makes people look like cretins who don't know any better than to destroy things. And it encourages looters, who really ARE cretins. Complacency is a bad thing - it's why the government gets away with as much as it does. Which is...

I know what I did when I arrived in Houston, & wanted a job: I went through the phone book, calling publishers, asking if they needed proofreaders. I had exactly zero experience, but I love to read, and finding [other people's] mistakes is easy, so why not? Most said a degree in journalism was...

Not sure what the movie stars in trees are protesting, exactly, but I'm pretty sure that buying the one farm wouldn't solve the problem - rich as they are, they can't buy them all! Cindy Sheehan is, in my opinion, a flake of the first order - I mean, what was she hoping to accomplish by a...

Expedited freight will be history when the shippers & consignees decide they really don't need the freight immediately - I for one, don't see much chance of that happening. Less freight, sure, but even consolidating loads is tough to arrange, given the unplanned nature of the need. We will...

And above all: no matter how bad it looks - it wasn't our fault!:P

You guys are starting to scare me here....You actually listen to engine sounds?! For entertainment?!

I'm sure I just don't "get" modern art, but I never understood why the stuff he painted was worth anything at all...:o

I believe ConWay used to pay a nominal amount for signage, but no longer does. They are, however, in the process of rebranding, & updating the logo. The new one looks much better, IMO.

There is a Pilot across the street, but it's a very small one - for non-trucks, anyway. I didn't think to see what the truck parking is like. BTW - for those planning to go to King's Island: I happened to pass the exit for it on a sat morning a few weeks ago, at around 9:30, & traffic was backed...

Linda: since I can't have a dog copilot, I tend to forget that some can. Arkjarhead: The advice I'd give you is to remember that you were brand new at this once, too, especially those times when you need to take a deep breath. The advice to your wife would be to come to the Expo - especially...

A simple system for knowing whether your codriver is in the bunk, or in the WalMart, is to leave the shoes of the codriver on the floor in front of the passenger seat - if the shoes aren't in the truck, neither is the person! I once left a codriver in the WalMart - not on purpose, but I still...

First the Exorcist changed how we see pea soup - now, a 30 second clip changes how we see the Exorcist, lol. Pretty funny :)

Lawrence: You may just find yourself with more crowd than capacity, & have to turn some away! ;) Now I'm wondering how early I need to be, to get a parking space..

This could become the first forum members go to, after "one of those days" - but, where's the bunnies? You advertise bunnies here, but there isn't a bunny in sight! Not even a photo of Teacel...What's up with that? :7

Ever since I read the joke on the Loading Dock, about President Bush being told that several Brazilian soldiers had been killed, & he wondered how many that was, "brazillion" is a favorite word of mine, lol. It cracks me up, anyway...:7

I remember that Petro - they had a security guard posted inside, he stopped me as I headed for the rest room, saying "Only drivers are permitted in this area" I showed him my CDL, & never went there again. I figured it must be a bad news place - and QT is much nicer, anyway.

Wow - I thought the shirts were a joke, but if FedEx & UPS really did merge, maybe not!:+

I second that emotion - thanks for being a vet. Good luck with the training, & please tell your wife that she's welcome to send a private message to me, or Linda Caffee, or CoCo, if she thinks we can help. And while you're training her to be a good & safe driver, please don't forget that you...
