    Your missing the important point. Even if she likes cats, she would have to get Dave's co-drivers approval. That's not happening.....

    I don't know. Cats definitely recognize cat people.

    I’d have to agree with that. I seem to have a way with them, much to some peoples’ surprise sometimes.

    Remember Jobs held:

    Dogs - Drugs, bombs, people rescue, guns, service dogs for the disabled, an lots of other stuff.

    Cats - God.

    So it's the Egyptians fault for giving cats a god complex.

    Speaking of cats...one of ours like to look at you with it's paw on something on the bookshelf/hutch/whatever. An then knock it off. Ah well she keeps the dogs in check.

    Exactly. 5,000 years ago cats were worshiped as gods. They have never forgotten and expect the same still. :)

    LOL...my one cat loves green peppers. The youngest one will eat a cucumber if you take the skin off, third one look at you like your an idiot if you even think about getting her to eat a veggie or something healthy. The dogs love watermelon. Actually I think the cats do to.

    Animals...still less weird then most people.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - My cats are better guard dogs sometimes then the dogs.

    I explained why.

    I've never been yelled at by ANY driver of ANY mega. I've never been harassed by ANY driver of ANY mega. I've never been flipped off by ANY driver of ANY mega.

    Owner operators think their #### doesn't stink because they own their truck and it can go FAST. I laugh my ### off when they cuss at me on the CB for "holding up traffic" doing 69 in a 65 passing a SWIFT truck, 15 miles down the road they're on the shoulder with a bear lighting their ##### up. I honk and wave as I go by.

    I had an OO blow by me on 65 south a few days ago. Must have been doing almost 80. About 30 miles down the road he was on the shoulder, one of his tires blown off the rim. LMAO! LOL I remembered his trailer because it had nice graphics on the back door. Log haulers are the worst offenders. Thank God I don't deal with them often. But it seems flatbedders are the worst OO speeding offenders who are quick to curse at you.

    Hey don't get mad at me that when its -15 outside you're out fixing your tarp and I'm cozy warm in the sleeper sipping hot chocolate and watching cartoons.
