Tampons. Dog food. A bag of really wide straws. Coffee-maker descaling solution. A wedding card. Three packs of Slim Jims. At least a dozen greenish-yellow bananas. And a six pack of Coors Light. Tom5 points

Mine turns 19 this year!!!! A basic white GE model. Maybe 20 cubic feet. Freezer on top old school simplicity. Other than basic dust removal and new light bulbs, it has never had any maintenance. We are more than ready to replace it, but we just can't bring ourselves to replace a working appliance. Tom4 points

Luckily, it drove away today. We pulled off a $1000 profit on this rig. Not bad for playing with it for 2 years. We put a few bucks in it, but no more than $400. This worked out well. We found one we want, but we gotta go get it. It's about 3 hours away.4 points

The Monitor is handy as it can show you what's in the fridge without opening it. And when the monitor becomes obsolete or broken, you can just remove it and look through the hole to see what's in the fridge, so need need to toss the whole fridge.3 points

I am thinking Forum meetup in brown county! I can rent a proper MTB and we can let @Dirtyhip experience Indiana's finest trails. She can mentor Griffin on the bike, she can let emmy hit her with a fastball and we can get K drunk around the camp faar.3 points

Probably a very good thing! I want a surgeon with a soft, delicate, and dexterous hands. Leave the gross motor skills to the demolition guys, and keep the fine motor skills for the folks mucking around inside my body with very sharp instruments! Tom3 points

I think before you decide you should watch a medical documentary called "This Is Spinal Tap" because they will have to do one of those before they get to the fusion part.2 points

You are doing it wrong. You should always be seen carrying a slice of cake, pizza, pie, or chips and pastries everywhere you go. Anytime someone asks where you are going for lunch, say McDonald's or KFC. Invite people (when you know they can't go) for wings and beer or pizza after work, and if you take time off, tell people you went on a cruise because you love the unlimited food. You need to not actually eat those things, but you instead want to crush their spirits to win the $1,000 in seemingly effortless fashion.2 points

I was able to read it in in a very short amount of time, it is an easy, entertaining read that seldom goes into too much detail. I enjoyed it and felt like I sort of knew Finn Murphy by the end. I wonder what the story would have read like had Finn not come from where he did, have the college experience to draw on and the education and knowledge to allow him to be as introspective as he is. I enjoyed his insight into the class system in the United Stated and the decay of the United States. I think if he would have started 20 years earlier, or later, this would have been a very different book. Having worked for a manufacturing firm and handling logistics for quite a few years, both trailer load and less than trailer load, I had a certain amount of insight into how trucking worked, but the fact that movers were shunned by the other types of truckers was new to me. This is not the sort of book I would normally choose, but I am glad I read it. Like @Further I would like to know what happened from the time he quit driving to when he started back up. Dates were not used often, so it was hard to pin and exact date to when he quit to when he started again in 2008. Other than the brief glimpse of his family life in his high school and college years, family is not discussed much. I would like to know about his social life outside the cab of the truck. As I showered this AM, I was thinking about how the log bog and the careful inventory process must have served as an excellent outline to frame the book and plan the chapters. It was probably fun for Finn to leaf through the log book and recall the moves that were memorable, good or bad, and then turn them into written words. Final thought, I wonder about the army wife / army husband thing. Hope the Colonel knew about it before Finn wrote about it, or that the Colonel never reads the book. BTW, I forgot to turn in my penis before I wrote that. Won't happen again. Sorry.2 points

Nah, just move it to the garage and use it as a beer fridge. BTW, I don't think that anyone is able to keep a fridge for 20 years anymore. I think they only last 6-8 years these days. They don't make them like they used to.2 points

And I hear you can get campers a lot cheaper in Indiana, probably since a lot of them are made in Northern Indiana. So you should just do a road trip to get one.2 points

For me, "ICE" is the acronym for the "In Case of Emergency" contact info on my cell phone home screen. As a side note, I actually recommend doing that for everyone with a cell phone that has a lock screen & background image. Simply edit the background image to have a simple message like: In Case of Emergency, please contact: Jane Doe @ 555-123-1234"<- this is the emergency contact, not your cell number . That way, if you're injured or even just lost your phone, people will see that info without needing to unlock your phone. Tom2 points

I am a pretty strong dude. I have done some manual labor, fairly handy with my hands. Been around the gym a bunch. So I have a fairly firm handshake. We have some friends. Wife is a nurse, husband owns a construction business. He is English. His upper body is enormous. Body builder enormous. I went to shake his hand the first time I met him and he freaking hurt me! He had the strongest, most rough, calloused hands I had ever felt. And the firmest grip EVER. It really caught me off guard, and I am a big manly man. I feel sorry for less manly men that shake his hand. I bet he's put people into the hospital with that grip!2 points

So, my husband drove up to deliver it. It was a risk. We don't like meeting those people at the house. So, he got a full price offer for the camper and caught a fish on the way home. We caught a trout north of town on this trophy fishing river.2 points

Just think about this for a moment, if you will... If you ran an electric, water, and sewer to each one of those planes you could turn the whole place into an upscale 'mobile home' park. So what if they're not the same shape as a traditional mobile home - they've all got wheels under them, don't they?2 points

The New Jersey Wing of CAP is in Trenton. (NJWG.cap.gov is the local website.) This is a good thing as wing headquarters tend to have serious volunteers. How old is your son? He will likely qualify for orientation fights in a small plane. There are also lots of really cool space, aviation, etc... Learning experiences. He can earn awards for learning knowledge and being able to apply these facts. CAP also has a pretty durn good emergency services crew in most places and he can learn to be a ground team member or radio operator, etc... As the wife of a unit commander--- wait now ex unit commander doing other work---I have seen many young people find direction and pride through CAP--- and lots get into service academies too. @AllieRN May have an opinion on this if she is around. There are lots of cool jobs in aviation that don't include being a pilot. @TrentonMakes would be like to be an aerospace engineer?2 points

I've read that pre-exercise stretching or static stretching is actually harmful and could lead to injury. When I ride of run I start out a little slow and work into it.2 points
