    Spray insulation

    Jeffman had his c/v done by a guy who did it on the side of his construction business. Found him through our local Craigslist. Jeff put an ad out for "Wanted: Spray Foam Insulation For Van Cargo Hold". Ceiling and walls done. Just an FYI: be prepared for condensation in the winter. Although we...

    And...It's...Over....(for now)

    Doesn't he look so grown up now? Last word: the trainer hadn't kicked him out of the truck yet. Thanks, highway star! "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a psyche can be ruined FOREVER" : LisaLouHoo, c. 2008

    9/11 Feelings

    Jeffman and I were at Ground Zero 11 months ago. 2:30 am, raining, no one around. Anything, anywhere else, it would merely be a construction site. Not here, not knowing what happened. Goosebumps, lump in the throat. In March, we went to Shanksville, PA. To the unknowing, it's just a field. Tears...

    The "Fallback" Occupation

    The hard part would be leaving this house, but a freshened exterior will make it less painful, because it doesn't look exactly the same as when my late husband and I bought it. Whatever the real definition, I sincerely doubt Jeff had that in mind when he told me to hang onto them, LOL "Bruises...

    Flint, Michigan's New Theme Song? Probably Not

    From a Flint band, "Lordd Virgil"...don't think Flint is going to adopt this as its theme song anytime soon. For those of you who detest metal, you probably won't like this; save for the truth in the lyrics. Flint MI - Lordd Virgil - BANNED in China - YouTube Some people may find some...

    Independent Reviews Of CDL Training Program

    Well, I see no reason NOT to discuss CDL training schools. For one, as pointed out earlier in this thread, there are some companies who prefer drivers, buckboard on up, to possess a valid CDL. Some people, after expediting for 109 years (or 8), hanging out at J's and Wally's across the country...

    The "Fallback" Occupation

    When he said "we" were going to do a total tearout, I about fainted. One yew was painstakenly brought back from the brink of death, the arborvitae had to be hacked back from the walkway and reshaped (some idjit attempted to 'terrace cut' them, it took SEVEN years to get them normal). There was...

    The "Fallback" Occupation

    In July, Jeffman164, a landscape architect and installer, informed me my dated landscape (started by the original owners in 1970), should probably "go". I was advised to "hold on to my zsazsas" Okay, I have now let go of my zsazsas...I never did figure out what those were, but they sound...

    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    Oh, okay, gruesome photos will deter minors' smoking. Sure. Worse than Joe Camel, this idea will cause 14 year olds to all want to carry open packs and smoke in front of their friends to prove they're not scared of black lungs. Stupidest idea yet. "Bruises fade and bones will mend-but a...

    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    I know everytime I light one up what risk I am taking. I know what risk I am taking everytime I get behind the wheel of my truck on I-75. When I eat butter, red meat, potato chips...you name it. Far as I know, we only go around once, no one is immortal, and who really wants to live forever? I...

    US cigarette makers sue over graphic warning labels

    Read the warning labels on the new lightbulbs. I have a friend who is afraid to put those in her house (although she smokes a pack a day). If we adhered to the advice of all label warnings, we wouldn't smoke, take blood pressure medications, aspirin, eat Snickers bars, etc. Anything can hurt...

    vanners: what's your fav truck stop?

    The TA in Antioch, TN. It is where we spent most if our time on the road. Great areas off property to walk for our exercise. First runner up: Flying J in Laredo. Clean and even though the landscape is, well, west Texan, plenty of room to move around and keep the blood flowing. "Bruises fade and...
