    That might not work. What if all three people speak different languages and two of them aren't fluent in English?

    ...because no one would drive the truck in the first place under those conditions.

    BTW, his accident didn't happen because the driver's hands left the wheel. It happened because his eyes left the road.

    And I don't believe the coffee cup story either.

    Don't worry. I'll learn em. Starting with selectively applied really bad words that they like so much then working up from there.

    Had a roofing crew like that. All spanish up there.

    The thing that got them was I learned some down by Mexico way.

    I have rheumatoid arthritis. It's an autoimmune disease, meaning your body attacks itself. You can't do anything to prevent it. I take my Stelara shot and the more I move the better I feel. Stretch/exercise before I start driving. Then stretch while fueling. During my 30 try walking and stretching. Then the same at the end of the day. Also keeping your weight in check helps too.

    That's not good. Ambulance crew on the last call from me taught me a couple of things about RA. For me if I got that it will be a problem.

    Its already a problem for me physically with just the OA, Ive been told over and over again by the docs that I am running on a frame of a 70 year old while in my mid 50's the next stage up would be to cough and break a bone somewhere important. Thats where milk and other things come in to post pone that time.

    I refuse to feel bad about it in terms of morale and intent on having a beautiful day.

    I been drinking coffee while movin' down the line my whole career. Often several cups a day. NEVER ONCE have I had to look away from the road to get my mug in the cup holder long enough to crash the truck. ####, I spend more time looking at my mirrors than I do looking at the cup holder in the odd situation where I need a visual reference for some inane reason or another...
