    Back about 10 years ago I was headed to the Henderson NC Walmart DC. Had a late afternoon appt then planned to drive up I 85 a few miles then park for the night. I have always thought myself to have a cast iron stomach, but what I seen in a Truck Diner that day changed me from a hungry waiting on my steak and eggs breakfast into someone so weak all I could do was pay for what I really did not eat and leave. Several times I had to stop and hurl. I am not sure how many in here have ever been in that DC but on the road going to it is a road fence. I had to pull over there for a bit. Still weak as I walked in to get my door then spot and drop my trailer I headed over to the bobtail parking and went inside. I got so sick I could not hold food on my stomach. Finally that next morning so weak I could hardly walk I ate some fruit. I will not say what it was I saw, no need. I will just say I wish people would wear clothes that cover their body and limit what we used to call in the Air Force PDA! On a side note since I was only a day away from home I asked for a repower to Atlanta and got it. I took 3 or 4 days of home time and actually thought about making an appt to see my doctor!

    When I was young. They said I’ll be able to learn a lot on the internet. I’d say I’m learning too much. :rolleyes:

    Yes.....people will notice. Especially other truck drivers since we can see at that height. Have some pride. That's a short commodity in this day and age.

    I must admit I am stumped...

    1. the purposeful cameltoe
    2. the incredibly wierd 'DO'
    3. the Dave Letterman dental work

    Has to be a joke.
