Where Are You Continues, Again.....

Thanks for mentioning my name... too many problems, too much stress and a lot of other things that don't really belong in here.... hope you all are doing well.

 

Awh, m'lady. ANYTHING regarding a fellow driver DOES belong here, as much as you are willing to share. I'm sure @MACK E-6 would agree, ya know.

I'm doing well, for now. Ohio lifted the HOS rules for 'integral' commodity haulers. FMCSA, yeah. So, as you know (sorda) I haul for International Paper for the most part....and even though we don't make toilet paper, we make the cartons that haul it; same with soup, ketchup, petfood, etc. Who knows. Life could get 'tough' for this old guy pulling 16 hour days, home daily. Just have to let it play out, I guess.

We sure miss you, m'lady. Wife says hello as always. Anything she or I could do to help, please let us know!

Much love,
Tom and Anne

 

Thank you Mr. @G13Tomcat ... I hear about what is going on in the USA with folks panicking about this virus... that's CRAZY! I think this is more media hype than anything... sure those who already have some disease or are debilitated with some immune system weakness and elderly folks might suffer the most or die if they are infected with this virus... but I think most people with good health will get sick for a while and then will get better... The media keeps reporting so many cases of infected people but doesn't tell how many got better and how long it took... It's deceiving...
May GOD BLESS YOU and ALL TRUCK DRIVERS who work sooooo HARD and in times like these put your lifes on the line, transporting goods and items to affected areas and places with people in need of those items... I SALUTE YOU ALL!
Thank you for your kind words... I say HELLO to Ms. Anne too and wish you all a healthy and safe evening... and weekend... and next week...

 

Thank you, ma'am!

I agree; with the media hype.. .the government is almost acting like 'doomsday preppers' themselves, or trying to get US to be. Stay safe (where you are!) and we will keep you posted. Wife is HOVERING to say hello, haha!

Thanks for the well wishes; they are gonna work my butt off these next few weeks, because I haul packaging materials, FOR the products they are trying to stock. This shall be fun.

None of us here are immunocompromised (at my home) but my mom being in the nursing home is unsettling. They wouldn't let me visit her yesterday...one of the nurses had 'Skype' on her phone, and my son has it ... so.... at least we had that!

I'm just resting out the remainder of this weekend; thanks for asking about us! Wish you well, as always!

Hey Mr. @G13Tomcat ... sorry to hear you couldn't see your mom... she being in a nursing home, you should be able to see her anytime you had an opportunity... we never know when the last time will be...
If I had not bought a smart phone and got Whatsapp to communicate with my dad in Brasil via video call, he would not have seen me before he died... cause when I arrived in Brasil 10 days before his passing, he was already blind and couldn't hear much or say much... The last time that we really saw each other in person was in 2015...
You guys take care and stay safe...

 

Well, one of the nurses had 'Skype' and my son has it too... so we spoke .. that way. It was quite sad, but better than nothing. If anything were to happen to her whilst I couldn't hug her ONE last time.. auuugh. My wife lost her dad that way 2 years ago..we were on the way to CLE (Cleveland Airport) paid, packed *barely* .. direct flight to SRQ (Sarasota, FL) which is 'rare' and not cheap... her niece called at nearly the LAST minute for boarding (we as a family looked like a helluva mess....) and said her dad had expired. A week's warning would've been nice....even 3 more days. It STILL gets the wife in a tizzy. Survivors guilt or something.

At least you got to hold his hand the last days; and I DID have that with my dad; which still resonates, and means the world to me.

I guess we can 'skype' with my mom for the time being...it still riles my rack that I'm not allowed to hug her. Heck WA state the first outbreaks of notability, let 'patients' in homes .. one visitor a day; no elderly and no kids. Seeing her and not hugging her. Can't post the words here, how I feel. HEADING OUT in a few;

You be safe, m'lady as well.

Stay safe..where you ARE!
We miss you; Tom and Anne~!! (She's asleep; I depart shortly!)

 

I'm at my extended stay hotel near my storage in TN... this is what I call "home" outside the truck, which used to be my "home"....
Today I thought about Mr. @Lepton1 ... wondered where he is... if he is still around, visiting this forum.... prayers to you Mr. @Lepton1 ... wherever you are...

 

I asked in another thread a while back, myself. Glad to hear from YOU, ma'am. Wonder if @MACK E-6 or @88 Alpha have any info / intel?

Glad you are well..in your 'new'ish' home for now. Falling asleep; tomorrow (well, today haha!) being my ONLY day off....I'm gonna get off 'schedule' and sleep me a 10 and then be lazy for the next 13 or so.

So glad to hear from you; never know where to look, LoL! Wife says hello...as always. She's made us tea...all we need is the crunkets or whatever...that we don't have, haha!

HUGS from usn's in Ohio... be safe.

Tomcat & Anners

 

Thank you for the hugs Mr. @G13Tomcat and Ms. Anners... Yes... good to be at home with yours and relax, huh? Enjoy your evening and your tea... Me... going to have a warm meal in a few minutes.... Have a nice day off!

 

Yeah, I think about @Lepton1 now and again too. I hope everything is going well for him.
