    Yes.... but my curiosity will make me ask someone next time I go to a place like that... have seen these toilets in several places so far.... for the first time here in Brasil now...
    Every time I come here I see things I have never seen before.... so many changes when one stays away for a long time....

    You dont want to come down to the Fort Roots VA then. Some of those very old vets from Korea hold bags on the roof of the car waiting to extract the fluids. Morale is not very good with them. IF you ever need care walking that lot in rain that would be the day to worry about it. But hey most of you are truckers accustomed to pee lots so eh...

    You should sue them for false advertising, ask for 600 million in damages for the traumatic experience and now u suffer from ptsd episodes from the extra microwave wavelengths penetrated thru into your brain since the box only stated it was minute rice not 10 minute rice and were falsely duped into taking 9 extra minutes of microwave exposure. Any jury will understand that case after being exposed to 9 extra minutes of microwave toture themselves and being outraged at the false advertising. Slam dunk case IMO

    I cook Knorrs. A little dollar bag.

    Boil water, rice and butter. Clap lid and turn to low. Wait 6 to 7 minutes. No more.

    The problem with knorr as a supplier in my area is the basic beef comes and goes at whim. Hard to get.

    I cannot learn how to do the New Orleans Minute Rice, the box of he stuff needs like 18 minutes of slaving over the stove with no gaurantee of success.

    Maybe i go down to the Bayou and learn rice school from them. I do eat other foods regularly in combination with rice. If you have that chopped smokes sausage and onions to boot. The whole food group in a plate.

    I would say that "we" truck drivers are used to so many things that other "regular" people wouldn't.... right? I know I am....

    We gotta get you back to that dutch country, they will get you churched up on the glories of stew, soups and piles of meat and breads any way you like it.

    Some resturants actually used to bill by your empty weight before you eat and after.

    Well it happened.

    My son asked to go to the movies (not the movie in the photo but with the taller blond girl) and told my wife he wanted to pay. My wife asked what movie... he said frozen 2. Which is an odd choice since he seems to subsist on Dead Pool, Star Wars and transformer movies. My wife said sure she’d like to see it. Jack then said that’s fine, but we need to pick up a girl.

    Stunned silence. My wife says she nodded then called me.

    She fills me in. My 12 year old had a movie matinee date.

    So I FaceTime him and asked “hey man, do you have a date?”

    He replies “yes.”

    Me: “ok cool. Any questions?”

    Him: “no, you’ll just make it weird and tell me too much stuff, I’m 12 dad.”

    I start laughing.

    “Dad we’ve been dating for awhile. You already know her. We’re just kids, but I want to take her. Her Mom doesn’t like paying for movies.”

    Cool. Tell mommy to pay for the movie. You buy the snacks. You’d better take $20 with you and then share.

    Ok...so my point. I’m pretty sure I shed a tear, and I’m happy he’s going about it like a kid growing into a man.

    To make this even longer. When Jack went to public school he had a problem with a group of kids who didn’t like his long hair and that he was smart. We put him in Jiu-Jitsu and he stood up for himself and then the kids stopped picking on him. We decided to home school since the public school class only moves as fast as slowest learner. He’s in 5th grade now but his course material is for 8th and 9th graders. Anyway. We went to a home school event years ago and this little blond girl runs up to him and say “do you like to play?” Jack said “yes” and they ran off to play. It was awesome after his public school BS. Well it’s that girl.

    Is it weird to say her mom is smoking hot?

    Good job Jack. Now you get to go through the wringer like the rest of us.

    Stopped smoking cold turkey 14-1/2 years ago. I'd say it took a good 7 years for the cravings to be totally gone.

    Haven't had a Coke in...………………….7 or 8 years.

    But I always preferred Coke over Pepsi.
