I just got hired on with a trucking company out of Claremont, NC! I'm going to be driving with a trainer for the next 8 weeks, and then I get my own truck and its on to making some decent money! I'll be doing the over-the-road thing for a good while, but I hope to eventually transition into a...
I've noticed in the last couple of years or so that shopping malls don't seem to be doing so well...a lot of the nicer chains moving out, places that would seem more at home in a flea market moving in...and not too many people to be seen!
Are shopping malls dying out? Back in the day, it...
I cannot confirm or deny the validity of what you are about to read. It was stolen from another forum, and I'm still wiping the tears out of my eyes and trying to clean up the beer I spewed on my monitor. Enjoy.
Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me. A couple of weeks ago we...
Man, it was a doozy! People around here don't know how to handle it well, either...there was basically no effort to clear or treat the roads at all, except the major highways...and they didn't bother salting them, just plowing them as they could. US 321, which is a heavily traveled highway that...
I'm currently living in North Carolina...its a long story, and some of you might already know it, but long story short my wife and I split up, and I'm staying in NC with my folks while I get myself together and on more solid financial footing.
Indiana was my home for all of about a year. I...
An interesting topic I ran across on another forum, and decided to bring here!
How long do you think WWII would have lasted if the Axis powers had to fight our military as it sits today, MINUS NUKES? I'll lay out my post on the other site...hope you enjoy it!
Well, 2 years might make a...
I'm going to be getting my CDL here in the next couple of months, and from there will be looking into job options as a professional driver. Any hints, tips, or advice for a trucking noob?
Useful endorsements?
AMD or Intel? :D
What is your platform of choice?
I'm an AMD guy myself, for two reasons...
1. I think AMD provides more bang for your buck. Building anything Intel based is SO much more expensive vs. building the equivalent, or close, using AMD processors/chipsets.
2. IMHO, AMD...
LANGUAGE WARNING. LOTS OF BAD WORDS.
I thought this was pretty funny, I hope you do to.
A Review of the Pirated Copy of Windows 7 I Bought On eBay | Cracked.com
I'm trying to find a program that will enable me to patch Windows software (the game Anarchy Online, specifically) under Ubuntu 9.10. I've got Wine installed, and can get the program to load, but it needs to download and apply patches and the patching software keeps crashing...probably cuz it...
I've got an old Sony Vaio laptop with overheating issues....I've cleaned the crap out of it, tried various software underclocking utilities for the processor, etc....nothing helped. It would invariably overheat under processor load and crash.
On a lark, I pulled out one of the SODIMM RAM...
Well, here I am in rugged North Carolina....going to go to school for a while and enjoy mom's cooking, so that upon my triumphant return to the Hoosier state, I can do more than deliver pizzas. Enlisting is still in the picture, but for the short term the goal is a Class A CDL and saving up some...
Anyone listen to him? I used to listen when I lived in Florida, but haven't found a station that carries his show up here. WIBC has some good personalities, but no Savage Nation....:dunno:
If anyone knows of a station in the Indianapolis area that features him, I'd appreciate the info.
Oh...
This is it...I'm officially bored.
Which do you prefer?
Personally, I've never owned an electric shaver that gave me even a halfway decent shave, so I've used a blade since I was old enough to need one. I used a Mach 3 until the day I picked up a Fusion out of curiosity, and have been...
I don't know what everyone was complaining about! I put Vista on my secondary hard drive, just to try it out for a while. I ended up liking it enough to replace XP on my primary hard drive with Vista. I've been using it for about 2 months now, and it seems pretty stable, and I've had very few...
Man, how I hate them...I've got a cracked molar in the back of my mouth, and every once in a while I bite down on something just the right way and BAM...pain for hours.
Someone with a .17HMR...I need to do a little precision shooting, right above the gum line....can you help me out?

Ok, I was having a discussion at work today about the welfare system, and how some people seem to make a profession out of exploiting it. Some how this led to discussing the "free college" offered in India. So I had an idea.
Do away with welfare, and divert all the funds into free college...
I managed to sell my Subaru Legacy, which I still owed money on, and come out of it with a running vehicle, and the pay off amount. Go me!
It doesn't look like much, and it burns a little oil and has noisy exhaust...but its mine. All mine, and I don't owe a damn thing on it. Man it...
SOLD
For sale is a 96 Subaru Legacy wagon...purchasing through my landlord and can no longer afford payments. Car is in great shape, but needs new tires. 140,000 miles, power windows, locks, and keyless entry. Comes with a very nice Sony stereo. All options are fully functional, and the car...
