I'm not the one who is guilty of "complete ignorance and a total lack of understanding about what the debate is really about" here - you are. The debate is not about whether life begins at conception, because that doesn't make any difference, really. For the sake of argument, let's agree that...

James Peron: Are the Gays Destroying Scandinavia? This refutes Turtle's assertion that gay marriage has destroyed traditional marriage in Scandinavia. It's the most recent info I found, though Slate said the same thing [with marriage statistics] 10 years ago. As for the Boy Scouts, pedophiles...

Using the term "women's reproductive rights" is an "ignorant phrase"? And it "proves" that I "fall for all the liberal propaganda"? No, and hell, no! Women's reproductive rights is a phrase which refers to both contraception and abortion: a woman's right to decide when [or if] she wishes to...

Try the EO Classified ads, "Driver Wanted", there are numerous cargo van ads. Didn't see any in Fl, [on the first page], but several in the SE area, anyway.

FMCSA's 395.1 states that the split sleeper requires "recalculation at the end of the first sleeper period". In the example I gave, that's exactly what I calculated. A driver who continued to drive until noon would then be required to take another 10 hour break - but there's no reason to wait...

You know, they never would have noticed the typo, or thought anything of it, if you hadn't opened your big mouth, lol. <thumbup> ;)

Seriously: the pilot had his own flight simulator?! WTH?! PS note to Bob W: 'jumping the gun' refers to beginning a race ahead of the starter pistol. :o

I just read that there are more than 1100 instances in federal laws [everything from taxes to insurance, contracts, property: all legal benefits of marriage] where it specifies "married" - none of those benefits would apply to a civil union, which is not marriage. And even if they did: separate...

So today I learned a new Irish expression: "We're sucking diesel now!" [much like we used to say "Now you're cooking with gas!"] but whoever coined the expression must have sucked it for real, lol, cause it would not be a pleasant experience, IMO. [But then, I've never tried it, I admit.] And...

Perfectly illustrates the fatal flaw of HOS: one size does not fit all, or even the same driver, all days. Some days I can drive practically forever, others, I am dragging after a few hours. It's insane to pretend we're all the same, and our days are all alike too. Only in FMCSA Universe.....:(

Your math is as screwy as your procedure: do a PTI, and immediately go into the sleeper? Not how I do it, lol. A PTI is worthless if it isn't done shortly before leaving: ever heard about 'practical jokers' who pull the 5th wheel handle, then yuk it up when you drive off, leaving the trailer on...

I've been logging since before the HOS were changed the first time, and I've used the split sleeper in both versions. I've never received a log violation for calculating it incorrectly - I'll take the log auditors' determination, rather than yours. The split sleeper is good for avoiding the 30...

'We've' had to say that to quite a few death row inmates, [generally with a lot of money as a token of sincerity], but when the convicted person has already been executed, no one tries to exonerate them, AFAIK. I bet it's happened, and more than once. On this subject, I am pro life, because we...

Incorrect? Not according to the logbook auditor Dora [the explorer] at Load 1. I have used the split sleeper on a few occasions, after clearing it with Dora, to make sure I have it right. This is the example I use to keep it straight: Drive: 1000-1400 [4 hrs] Sleep: 1400-2200 [8 hrs] At 2200...

I'd keep an ear on the radio first, Ohio was advising drivers to stay off ALL roads, because the plows couldn't keep up & the wind was making it dangerous. Looks like one of those times when it is smarter to park than detour. This winter was the worst I can remember - sure hope it's about...

Weak people repeat the same cliches, sound bites, and propaganda over and over and over. Being incapable of original thought, it's all they know.

Infertile people and those who choose not to reproduce are a threat to the survival of the species too - should we treat them as such? There go the priests and nuns......

Insurance companies control health care - are they generally socialist? :confused:
