Yes, The Dumb Blonde Does Exist in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I'll start this off by posting a current image of myself. Yes, I am a tad disheveled. I didn't bother running a comb through my hair or beard before taking the picture. Now, on to the story. This evening I visited a little pub in Gary, Indiana. I had some dinner and a few beers. During my visit I was talking with a youngish blonde woman. At one point she said that she liked my beard

Reply to What is the truth? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

Truth, by definition, is the true or actual state of a matter, conformity with fact or reality, or an indisputable fact. It has nothing to do with opinion or belief, superstitious or otherwise. I find objective reality to be quite sufficient.

Reply to An Enjoyable Super Bowl Sunday in Blogging JoeUser Forums

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="1" id="2883761"]You definitely topped my Superbowl Sunday! I was thinking about the square pools and was wondering how many people thought they had good numbers with a 1 and 4, only to see Pittsburgh go for the 2 point conversion! Ouch! As for fans, the consensus on JU was Packers, and I was rooting for them myself (I wanted Charles Woodson to get a ring). While I kind of like the Steelers (not a fan, just think they have a quality outfi

An Enjoyable Super Bowl Sunday in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Tonight finds me in a hotel in Florida. I pulled in rather early but still only an hour away from my planned Monday morning delivery. I wanted to stop early enough to get a good viewing seat for the Super Bowl game. After checking in to the hotel I made my way a half mile up the street to a steak house that had an enclosed bar separate from the restaurant, so that I could smoke while watching the game. Before the game started a fellow came in from the sports bar

Hope the test results are good. I have had a few of them myself due to the IBS. Have had a couple of polyps removed. It is a less than pleasant experience, but is far better than the one time they needed to run a scope into my bladder. Now THAT was an unpleasant experience!

Reply to OBSERVATIONS OF A TIME TRAVELER in Misc JoeUser Forums

I agree that simple good manners seems to be lost these days. Even those who use the parking spaces without being entitled to use them demonstrate exactly that. These days people are rude and selfish. Mostly selfish. When I was recovering from my car crash the doctor offered to obtain a handicapped parking permit for me but I declined it as I know those spaces are limited and there were far too many people using them as it was. Besides, a little walking would speed up my recovery time

Tonight finds me in Stony Ridge, Ohio. I checked into the hotel and went to the lounge for some dinner and a few adult beverages. I like this place as they are actively engaging in civil disobedience and one can smoke in the bar despite the fascist law. I support any business that engages in rebellion against the nanny laws. One guy sitting next to me, a fellow trucker, asked me, politely, to put out my pipe while he was eating his dinner as the smoke was driftin

Toll Booth Worker Lacks Reading Comprehension in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This afternoon finds me in a hotel in Hagerstown, Maryland. I am on my way to Baltimore to deliver a fire truck and a generator. The fire truck is a wide load, and, thanks to a toll booth worker who doesn't understand the rules, I was unable to make it to Baltimore before the afternoon rush hour curfew on wide loads went into effect. I'll be delivering tomorrow morning. The toll booth worker stopped me as I was exiting the PA turnpike. Instead of taking my toll m

I am on the far side of the bug now. A couple of more days and I should be in good shape. No, I don't do the flu shot thing, never have, but then again it wouldn't have helped here as it was just a cold and not the flu. Yeah, it sucks to be sick but then that's why they call it being sick.

Reply to Liberals Divide, Westboro Unites in Politics JoeUser Forums

Those on the left have revealed themselves to the American people. Hateful, selfish, and petty. They can't backtrack and do any damage control on this one as their own darling press was complicit in this one. Instead of showing any measure of human compassion and mourning over a heinous crime committed by an obvious madman, they immediately and joyfully leaped into their typical hate-fest in an attempt to further their political ideology. Yeah, real nice folks. And what kind of despic

[quote who="M-Post" reply="3" id="2864887"]Some people are just that way. The 'my way or the highway' mentality taken too far. When it comes to a recreational activity (which I definately believe any form of smoking is) then it's user preference. To say someone who is enjoying themselves with the cheapest stuff is stupid and has a bad palate is just retarded. If you enjoy the cheap stuff who is to say your wrong? Do what ya enjoy and just be happy. I think
