    find a driver has never been so hard

    For what it's worth, I'm almost 50 years old, have held a steady job for 25 years and haven't gotten a ticket since 1982. I like to think that'd make me a good out-of-school candidate. But I've got sleep apnea and have it bad, and can't use the machine well enough to make the little datacard...

    CDL Physical

    Hello! I'm planning on attending driving school next month, and am having difficulty with either my CDL physical or a specific doctor-- I'm posting here to find out which. I passed all the requirements just fine except for sleep apnea, which I've had for years and have (in my own opinion)...

    kindle or nook or...ipad?

    I've owned two Kindles, including the larger DX. An iPad is the way to go, period. Not only is it easier to read on-- page turning and stuff is much easier, as is finding a page you're looking for-- but the iPad is so useful for so many other things! Right now, mine contains approximately 350...

    Willy’s Jeep

    Note the severely droopy muffler-- it was probably missing half or more of its bolts, and the rest were pre-loosened. One bump, and it likely would've fallen to pieces. An impressive bit of teamwork regardless.

    Home prices to rise

    Keep in mind that most of these same so-called "experts" were buying Merril Lynch stock and securitized mortgages (now known as "toxic waste") right up until the very end, or at least most of them were. Why would anyone trust _them_?

    Palin has found her running mate.

    You think those are real teabaggers?

    Pat Buchanan has counted up the Jews on the Supreme Court

    There's a wide perception that Mr. Buchanan is an anti-Semite, due to his anti-Israel foreign policy positions and a book on WWII he recently wrote in which he in essence claimed (wrongly, IMO) that Hitler wasn't entirely to blame for the war in Europe. Even though I don't agree with Mr...

    Pat Buchanan has counted up the Jews on the Supreme Court

    So... How does this relate to Bucahanan's life-long devotion to and praise of Barry Goldwater, who was a Jew?

    Generators

    ...so, those of you with cargo vans and generators-- how do you set them up? Mounting an RV unit under the floor that draws from the main fuel tank looks convenient but pricey. Carrying a portable is cheaper, but how do you lock it down so it doesn't vanish? And, with a portable, would the...

    Sprinter Buying Advice?

    Well, I went and drove the Sprinter today, and though I'm not going to buy it I was majorly impressed. The vehicle was previously operated by a golf club company, and was used to transport their traveling display from tournament to tournament. The vehicle looks and runs virtually like new...

    Sprinter Buying Advice?

    Depending on how rapidly the Nashville floodwaters recede, I'm going to be looking in the next few days at a 2006 Sprinter, 8200 GVW, with 79k miles on it. It looks to me like it might've been a company-uniform service vehicle or something like that. While the ad doesn't specify, it appears to...

    About Ready to Begin

    I intend to make a workshop soon, but the only one there's been since I was laid off conflicted with a publishing commitment. I hope to make Indianapolis, coming up soon. Thanks!

    About Ready to Begin

    Thank you _most_ kindly for the reply! I applied to Express-One today, though their online form offered me no way to explain that I want to delay start. But, hopefully they'll contact me and I'll be able to explain then.

    About Ready to Begin

    I've been hanging around these forums for over two years, learning what I can about expediting. I think I'm ready to get started, in about February of 2011. I'm 49, and the author of four (soon to be six) published fantasy and science-fiction novels, two of which have been nominated for...

    Rush Is With Rahm on Lefty 'Retards'

    And again, he was taken very much out of context. Rush was parodying Rahm Emmanuel by employing the same phrase, much as he once parodied a couple prominent black journalists by referring to Obama (in the exact same words they used) as a "magic negro". Anyone listening to the whole segment...
