I think, Tec, you might be mixing up 2 recent posts - mine, where I was fined $30 for being overheight on the Ohio Turnpike, and another driver who was given a $250 ticket for not scaling his van in Michigan, because they dropped the weight for pulling in to 5000 lbs, but didn't publicize the...

Aren't pit bulls illegal (if unregistered) in some states, too?

I know those arguments well, lol, - I've had them with myself. My marshmallow side feels sorry for anyone who is reduced to begging - but when the beggar is a male who doesn't have any obvious infirmities that would prevent him from working for a living, I get annoyed pretty quick. (Just as...

Using beepers to alert waiting drivers that a shower is available would be great, and if there were a way to get a massage, even just neck & shoulders, (oh yeah - & JoeBob's feet, too, he's weird that way), it would be wonderful. And don't forget the trees!:)

I was confused even before Michigan tossed this firecracker - my cargo van, which weighs 6300 lb, is titled as a van, but plated (in Ohio) as a truck. Are they deliberately trying to write rules so difficult to understand that it means whatever they say it means - this time? There sure is a...

"White coat syndrome" can be caused by nervousness, (perfectly understandable when your job may hang in the balance), and it can also be caused by anger (like I have when I've had to wait an hour to see the doctor). Blood pressure can be temporarily elevated by many other factors as well. and...

"Tolerance is a virtue" & I am pretty virtous - until your actions have a negative impact on my well-being, or that of my loved ones. After that, I'm not very nice anymore. That's who I am, & I'm too old to change now.....:o

Love the ideas, but I gotta say it would have to be a VERY long layover..........:P

Anywhere in Nebraska! :'(

So, when we tune in tomorrow, will EO be calling itself "As the wheel turns?" Seriously - I checked out the other site for awhile, was even invited to write for them, but I think EO is just better all around. It looks like DD was expecting Lawrence to respond as teenagers do : "I don't like...

Just a question for those who "poke fun" at gay people: do you also "poke fun" at people with physical deformities or handicaps?

Same goes for me - I recently got a Razr with the Bluetooth, but can't hear clearly over the highway noise, & find it aggravating to "tell" the phone to switch the Bluetooth off - it pretty much defeats the purpose of handsfree! The phone itself has one big advantage, though - it's flat enough...

Last week, my teenage daughter dragged me to the mall, where I laughed out loud (& took a picture, too) at the perfect shirt for those who are fed up with drivers who have attitude: it has the FedEx logo, but says FedUp instead! (There was also one for UPS; Oops- we lost it again!)...

It's you. Just kidding! But it reminds me of something I heard a long time ago, & have never been able to verify - did the Supreme Court determine that "forcing" people in prison to work for the cost of their room & board constitutes cruel & unusual punishment? Because I would consider it the...

There's a gazillion stories like these in the books called "The Darwin Awards" (so called because do many of those profiled did not survive their own moronic acts, or will be unable to reproduce due to lengthy imprisonment). I love the books - whether truth or fiction, the stories are...

The Ohio Turnpike toll collector once charged me an extra $30 "overheight" fee, after my truck was parked for the weekend, collecting about 6" of snow on the trailer! By the time I got off the turnpike, it had blown off, but she said I'd triggered the overheight signal when I got on, & so was...

Terry - 3 sets of keys locked in the van? Teeheehee...:P

2 weeks ago, I switched my cellphone to Cingular, and got Roadside Assist, for $3.00 per month. I told them I drive a commercial van, they said "It's free the first month, if they don't cover comm. vehicles, you can cancel". Before I could learn whether my van is covered, I blew a wheel bearing...

You didn't wreck "my illusions of grandeur" - never had any."Naive newbie" - maybe, maybe not - but does it mean I'm wrong? "2 kinds of drivers" - I've seen many combinations, few who are strictly one or the other."Go back to selling Mary Kay & having Tupperware parties" - this comment...

Hosting foreign exchange students is a wonderful thing to do, I wish I could. (It's also a pretty good comeback to the accusation that you are narrow minded!) All my experiences & impressions of Canada have been very good - it's the US Border authorities that make it a visit to dread. :o
