    That is an awesome sentiment, one that is sure to breed happiness and success. I’m going to steal the #### out of it and use. Thanks in advance. :D

    It may be an awesome sentiment and I'm glad you like it and find some inspiration from it. But for me it's a statement based in abject loneliness. When a person has nothing else but a job, they don't have much.

    But like Don Corleone said, "This is the business we have chosen."

    BD I understood that, and I not only feel for you, but understand your pain from personal experience. I was thinking positively about the freedom that comes from a lack of attachments, I know it’s hard to see that now. Just remember you can go and do anything. Yes it sucks now. Yes it’s difficult, but your sentiment should empower you in the future. I’m all rainbows and unicorn smiles most days. Feel free to tell me to eff off, that can make people feel better as well. :D

    Man, I wouldn't tell you to eff off, you seem like a pretty good person with a very positive attitude towards pretty much everything. For me, the last two years have been a slow walk through Hell. I know things will get better sooner or later, but right now I feel like all I have is a truck.

    Jeebus, I need to get back to work. If I'm busy I don't have the time to think like this.

    So start looking for loads that go by her house, and with enough time to have a short visit.
    I know that your in a bad place right now but, this life is what we make of it.

    You are quite right about life being what we make of it, but with her now on staff at the hospital it adds a layer of complexity to it. I'll sort it out.

    Well hopefully the truck will be you path to bring you to true o/ o status with no or little debt. Get that out of the way and then you can decide when you want to run, how long, and where. Your not married at this point so you won't have a marriage get destroyed by what your trying to achieve. Keep the faith.

    That's within your control. You got a girl that is into you, no reason to live a lonely life
