    any suggestions?

    Does anyone know of any place to wait while in carlisle besides the nasty truckstops? Have you found a mall, or a walmart that allows trucks to park? Just get tired of the truckstops here, and wondered if anyone knew of anywhere else to park here?

    Why can't they wash lots

    I read this, and then tonight went for a walk and almost got sick at the smell of other people's pee everywhere. It's just disgusting! We don't even wear our shoes past the front seat of our truck. Who knows and who wants to know what gets on them. I don't touch the doors at the truck stops...

    Ways you are cutting back to save $$$

    Eating out of the truck is a big money saver. Also, not buying anything from the truck stop unless it's an emergency saves some. Since we have to have a phone out here we looked for the best deal among the carriers. Instead of paying higher prices for tons of minutes, we just got one of those...

    I have it in hardback. The guy's name is John Francis, in case you're interested in looking it up or anything. I got it at Barnes and Noble.

    Litte known threat.. "Dry Drowning"

    I've seen those shows where they teach infants to float like that. It's pretty neat. I took swimming lessons when I was little....my Dad let go of me in the deep end of the pool...Lol. I'm scared of water.

    Branson, MO

    I always enjoy finding out from other people where you can visit in your truck! It's so nice to be out there sometimes.

    Matter of perspective

    Last time I went to the Battleship was when I was in elementary. I grew up in LaPorte, Tx right by there so our school took field trips there. Pretty neat as a kid. Would be much more interesting now though.

    Book Reviews

    I just got this book called "planet walker." It's about this guy who takes a vow of silence for 17 years and walks different parts of the planet for 22 years. All this was due to the oil spill in San Fransisco Bay in 1971. He decided to do his part for the environment in an unconventional...

    Medications / Rules

    I believe you can take those kinds of medicines, for anxiety, concentration, depression, etc...IF your doctor is willing to give you a letter that you keep with you and show your employer that says they give you permission to take the medicine and drive and that they believe it will have no...

    food

    Actually when it comes to restaurants, you can't just use commone sense. I'm not stupid and I know what's healthy and what's not, but you can't control what a restaurant puts in the food or how they cook it. I looked at one place and a meal with grilled chicken and vegetables had over 1,000...

    food

    I was wondering if anyone knows where you can find the nutritional info for food at truckstop restaurants? I don't want to eat in them, but I am curious about the nutritional facts. Recently I looked up some restaurants and their info, and was totally shocked by the amounts of everything in...

    Heads-up when you decide to buy a truck

    You are right! Read, Read, Read, and ask questions if you don't understand fully what you are signing. That's terrible that you had to have a bad experience when you were so excited about buying a truck. How devestating. It's nice that you told your story, and didnt present it in such a...

    In-Cab Fever!

    That book sounds like a neat thing to have. We recently went to Barnes and Noble and purchased some flashcards and a learning system used on the computer with study lessons to learn another language. Thought it would be interesting. Also, we listen to music, read, play games, go for a walk...

    question

    Just out of curiousity, a lot of Sprinter owners don't have the sleepers correct? If not, is it some kind of a bed that pulls down? I'm guessing the reason is so that you can carry 3 pallets instead of 2. If that's the case, what do you do if you have 3 pallets, can't pull your bed down, and...

    The reason you probably missed the avatar I was referring to is because it changes so frequently, if you miss a day, it's already changed...lol

    Metal Art it is...a grasshopper in fact. A giant metal grasshopper. It's just hard to see because it's so small, plus it's in sepia. The original is much nicer.

    find out info

    Just wondering how many of you in straight trucks go to state parks, or regular parks to use the trails for walking or biking or anything like that? If any of you do, do you call ahead to see if they will allow you to go there and where you would park and stuff? Do you think they would only...

    panther suck

    How come some posts are deemed inappropriate, but not anyone's avatar? I think that I've seen a particular avatar that seems more inappropriate than reading that someone is unhappy with their carrier. After all, this is not a dating site. I know some people may like it, but it seems that...

    Stop Smoking Now!!!

    Don't smokers ever think about people who have allergies and might go into an asthma attack at the mere smell of smoke? My sister has sever allergies and can't even go into places where they were smoking hours ago. Is this fair to say, well you can just go find another restaraunt. We can't...
