Double L

I made a decision to become a Christian, I always believed in God and all that but I never followed the Christian way of life. My biblical name means Laural-Crowned which means to wear the crown of victory, which means I'm victorious in whatever I do. It's not that I lived a bad life or anything, I just want to become a Christian and better my life so I can repent my sins. I plan to get baptized here soon as well.

Yeah Other Dog, we had BBQ and it rained most of the day, my fiance made me ride some rides at the carnival and it made me sick (too old for carnivals) and ate chicken with sweet tea and watched the fireworks. Not sure when you mentioned Larry if you was referring to me or Freighttrain.

Substance, you don't need substance, Other Dog makes the board fun with his randomness! Besides it would be dull without variety!

All ya need is some salt for them maters, you don't need no stinking bread or meat. Other dog, the site police, I guess you mean Gearheadgrrr.

Got to be 21 to drive school bus and companies want experience with Class A, Class B won't count for squat. I'm not giving up at all!

I copied and pasted this from another trucking site I belong to, I didn't type that up at all!

Never heard of them, thank ya!

Yes sir, I say that is GREAT news!

Here is an example of why hiring illegal aliens is not economically productive for the State of California...or any other state for that matter. You have 2 families..."Joe Legal" and "Jose Illegal". Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California . "Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes $25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.... "Jose Illegal" also works in construction, has "NO" Social Security Number, and gets paid $15.00 cash per hour "under the table". Joe Legal...$25.00 per hour x 40 hours $1000.00 per week, $52,000 per year .. Now take 30% away for state & federal tax.. Joe Legal now has $31,231.00 Jose Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours $600.00 per week, $31,200.00 per year, Jose Illegal pays no taxes... Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00 Joe Legal pays Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage $1000.00 per month $12,000.00 per year Joe Legal now has $19,231.00 Jose Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00 Joe Legal makes too much money to be eligible for Food Stamps or welfare - Joe Legal pays for food $1,000.00 per month $12,000.00 per year - Joe Legal now has $ 7,231.00 Jose Illegal has no documented income, so he is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare - Jose Illegal still has $31,200.00 Joe Legal pays rent $1,000.00 per month - $12,000.00 per year Joe Legal is now in the hole minus (-) $4,769..00 Jose Illegal receives a $500 per month Federal rent subsidy .. Jose Illegal pays rent $500.00 per month (section 8 housing) $6,000.00 per year - Jose Illegal still has $25,200.00 Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work or his wife must work. Jose Illegal has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family (and eat out!). Joe Legal's and Jose Illegal's children both attend the same school. Joe Legal pays for his children's lunches Jose Illegal's children get a government sponsored breakfast & lunch, and they also qualify to be bused to school at tax payer expense. Jose Illegal's children have an after school ESL program. Joe Legal's children have to find a way to get to school and go home after school as, "latch-key kids" with no adult supervision. Joe Legal and Jose Illegal both enjoy the same Police and Fire Services, but Joe paid for them and Jose did not pay. Jose Illegal can send most of his money back home to Mexico to build a new home for retirement, and have money to buy a new truck (and still have Medi-Cal benefits while living in a foreign country; until someone turns him in to authorities....if they ever find out) Joe Legal is still in the hole. Any questions?

Letting y'all know we moved the wedding date up to October 2nd, 2009. Like any of y'all care but figure I'd give ya an update!

AMEN!

Welcome Aboard

Subject: 86-year old lady's letter to bank Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times. Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it. I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways. I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become. From now on, I, l ike you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate. Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open suc h an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me. I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let me level the playing field even further. When you call me, press buttons as follows: IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH #1. To make an appointment to see me #2. To query a missing payment. #3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there. #4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping #5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature. #6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am n ot at home #7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier. #8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7. #9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service. #10. This is a second reminder to press* for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call. Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement. May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year? Your Humble Client (Remember: This was written by an 86 year old woman) 'YA JUST GOTTA LOVE ' US SENIORS' !!!!! And remember: Don't make old ladies mad. They don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to set them off

Amen brother, amen!

I getcha now.

From what I read, as long as that state allows CCW then it's ok.

This is really good!

Four children ranging in age from 11 to 15 turned a pit bull loose on two women in SeaTac on Sunday night. One of the women had serious injuries. Deputies arrested all four of the children. The King County Sheriff's Office said the incidents started about 6:30 p.m. in the 13300 block of Des Moines Memorial Drive in SeaTac. A 63-year-old woman stopped her car when she saw the four kids kicking a pit bull. She stopped to help, but a 15-year-old girl told her to mind her own business. Then she tried to pull the woman from the car. The woman got out only to have the 15-year-old girl set upon her, punching her in the head. One of the boys ran up with the dog, which bit her. She suffered bruises and puncture wounds on her hand and thigh from the dog. The four -- the 15-year-old girl and three boys, who were 13, 12 and 11 -- ran off. A 41-year-old woman from Seattle saw the attack and followed the kids to North SeaTac Park. The 15-year-old girl then attacked that woman, head-butting and punching her. The dog was loosed on her and grew more and more violent as the children encouraged it. The woman had serious bite wounds to her head and face and gashes and puncture wounds to both arms. Her left arm was injured so badly that bone could be seen, the Sheriff's Office says. Sheriff's deputies found all four children and took them into custody. They released them to their parents since the 15-year-old needed medical attention. The dog bit her, and she hurt her foot trying to kick one of the women. Deputies turned the dog over to animal control. The Sheriff's Office says the 15-year-old girl could face felony assault charges.

And going "Huh?, What did you say, I can't hear you?"

You suffer from one of two things, old timers or a new pair of glasses. I'm just messing with ya Mike.

I don't mind running instate, I prefer to actually. I can't get hazmat because I'm not 21, otherwise I would have got hazmat. I don't plan on pulling double/triples. Yeah it's the temp license, it's only good for a year. I know I won't get much help cause I got my age, lack of experience, and insurance companies against me.

I already have the permit but it's due to be retaken next month. I didn't study for any of them, it's pretty much common sense. My main goal is to find someone to hire me even though I'm 19 (next month) and have no "driving" experience.

Well I'm engaged but it feels like I been married to her for years.

I'm getting ready to go to trucking school either in September or October and was wondering if anyone of you knew of anyone who hired an 19 year old to drive a truck? I know it's a long shot and I tried down here and companies who I thought would hire me told me I need to have experience or be over 21. All I have now is the CDL class A permit with double/triples, tankers, and air brakes. I may when I go retake my test next month drop my double/triple but keep the tanker.

Especially if you get married, then you can kiss your life good bye. :lol:
