    School lunches

    "Michelle" is not responsible for that sad creation, and whatever food service person is should be fired. It is not that hard to make lunches that are nutritious and that kids will eat, really. Or do you think they should just be given what they "will" eat? The biggest part of the battle is...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    No idea how many don't have a photo ID, but there are a LOT who don't cash checks [ they work for cash or barter], have no bank account, don't work for anyone who needed to see it. If anyone's "pretending", it's those who pretend that there exists enough voter fraud to require ID laws, when...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Can't figure out how an online dictionary works? OK: cryptic: hidden, unclear [which people? what lies?] Non responsive: did not address the points made.

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Agree that you can't fix stupid, and would include cryptic nonresponsive comments in the category of 'can't be fixed', myself. Alinsky wasn't the only one, you know. We still keep hearing about 'job creators', tax cuts for business produce jobs, etc, and some people believe the lies.

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    I don't know if it's better as in cheaper, but even at a net gain of $4.00, [or a break even price, once CLC adds the $4.95 fee that is their only charge, ever] it's still a better choice bc of the 24 hr checkout. I checked in at 2000, and if I had to leave at 1100 or 1200, I'd spend the...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Couldn't have proven my point any better, lol. When you don't like what you hear [and I mean the generic you, not Barkley in particular] just dismiss it with a derogatory comment. Ignore the fact that millions of others agree with the comment, and assume they don't vote for you because you need...

    That Bible in your van or truck, imagine that.

    Have to agree. Not bc one can access the Bible, one can access Grimm's Fairy Tales, too, and/or anything ever written, and I think that's a smart thing. It's stupid bc it keeps changing my favorite acronyms [ETA, OMW] to something incomprehensible, lol.

    3 years in prison for driving fatigued

    Thanks, John, for getting the point I was trying to make: the assumption that a driver operating outside HOS is fatigued, while one who is within the legal HOS is not. I believe the one-size-fits-all philosophy of the HOS is actually counterproductive in that respect.

    OMG I shoulda slept in the van!

    Perfect time for a bump, lol, as I'm in a motel right now. I believe I have LDB to thank for sharing info on CLC [Corporate Lodging], which is the best program for drivers and fleet owners - thanks, Leo! The reason it's best for fleet owners is cost control: nothing but the room can be charged...

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Tom Morello [guitarist for the band Rage Against The Machine] summed up the Republican disconnect perfectly, when he heard Paul Ryan was a fan. "I wonder which of our songs are perfect for jamming out at the Young Republican's Club? Don't get me wrong, I get that Ryan has rage: against women...

    3 years in prison for driving fatigued

    And sometimes, we do it well within the legal HOS, too. There's no earthly way to ensure that any driver uses good judgement.

    Which EOL member would you vote for to be President of the USA?

    [Canadian] Scott, because if you can do pithy, you can do anything, lol. Also to prove we don't hold Justin Bieber against them - too much. ;)

    I bought an Audi.

    And/or pretty smart, lol. Nice!

    Problems Managing Your VA Benefits? No Guns For You!

    Your requote left out the pertinent part: if one seeks assistance in obtaining benefits [be they dr appts or a reduction in gas bills], it isn't a sign of mental deficiency. Managing the help received is where the line is drawn - and I fail to see how a mentally competent person could need...

    Speaking of substandard education...

    Just don't forget to tip your server! And would it kill you to jump in? ;)

    Marco Rubio steps in it.

    Exactly right. When Chris Christie is on Jimmy Fallon's show and he casually pulls a doughnut from his [big] pocket to munch on, or Obama sits in a chair and lets Zach Galiafinkis [sp?] ask him "How does it feel to be the last black man elected as POTUS?", younger people respond with...

    The State of Hate

    It is true that there has [nearly] always been a distinct attitude among students that gay, queer, homo, :censoredsign:, etc, is the worst insult one can hurl, and that the verbal invective is no longer tolerated in the adult 'business' world - but the underlying premise [gay is doubleplus ungood] is...

    Speaking of substandard education...

    The first statement is not true in all states, and even if it were, it wouldn't matter bc it's not good enough. The second statement is just fatuous, period. The third is a generality that is more untrue than true, but again, it depends on where. The reason for this thread is a parent who is...

    Welfare, the next sequel

    There it is again: the assertion that "one poster makes completely incorrect claims a lot". That is your opinion, and it is unsubstantiated by facts, but repeated multiple times. That's out of line, period.
