    we were discussing that after I got back from the bus terminal. Everyone else agreed that he didn't want the job and this was mostly just running through the actions to make someone else happy. I disagree, I don't think he would have put that much effort into it. I know I wouldn't want to spend 4 day (2 days each way) on a freakin bus full of ummm.....weirdos, just to fail a test so I wouldn't have to work.

    One guy going back for BP tomorrow, he said something strange like he was going to take his meds, try eating healthier tonight and drink lots of water. I was tempted to show him where the grocery store was so he could pick up some pickles, but I want to see what happens when the entire orientation class gets sent home in the first two days. I've never heard of anything like that before.

    Kosher dill pickle juice, vinegar: used to flush pot from the system. It works better than golden seal root and doesn't have the after effects. Also some pee tests check for golden seal root for a failure. It's a "company request only" test for the golden seal as it's one of the main ingredients in those "cleansers." If a company has a reason to believe you are using a cleanser they will ask for yours to be checked with that test. It costs more so that's why they aren't a standard use item.

    For many years at a BBQ you would see a bottle of vinegar on the table with tablespoons next to it. The vinegar will help to flush the fat from your system and from your blood. Old wives tale that works.
    The way it worked for cleaning the pot from your system is the THC binds with the fat cells in your blood stream and that is how you fail the pee test. Pot stays in the system for up to as many as 60 days.

    The drill with kosher dill pickles and believe it or not I watched a guy many years ago who was such a pot head that he made Cheech and Chong look like straight-laced choir boys! He passed his test after blowing several joints the night before. He drank two large bottles of Kosher dill juice and then ate the pickles and then did it again in the morning and didn't pee till he went in and filled the cup. I lost a $100 bucks on this guy! He passed!
    The vinegar does the same thing and that's why they were drinking the pickle juice but the mustard? Never heard of it! I'd have to eat a lot of hot dogs or burgers to get any amount of mustard down!

    BTW Vinegar is good to use to lower your Cholesterol if you suffer from higher counts or eat a lot of fatty foods.
    1 tablespoon a day is what the wives tale says.
    2 if you ate a whole rack of ribs!

    As for drivers afraid of a "pill" because of high BP. Think about the thought of hiding from that fact and then killing a child or a whole family when you stroke out of your heart attacks your stupid arse!
    You really need to go see a doctor and get that pill before it's to late! Besides laying in a freaking hospital is not fun! It pays NO bills! You make NO money.The nurses don't wear those plastic short skirts you like to dream about and all those needles are just a deflating nightmare!
    Heck all the doctor might have you take is a silly little orange flavored childs asprin and chewable at that!

    Thanks Rollover. I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I use blood pressure meds but the Doc won't put me on on cholesterol meds due to a high lipid count in my liver. I am going to try the 1 tablespoon a day to see if it brings the cholesterol count down.

    I'm excited about next week, I start a more active role in orientation. This should make for more stories, I really want to hear about all the different home remedies and try yo understand why people prefer those methods.

    If you are on meds, please don't stop taking them before you come to orientation. Today we lost the best of the new recruits (in my opinion). that isn't to say that the others are bad, just that the guy we lost was that good. Don't let something like this prevent you from getting a job. If you can afford it please get a check up done before you head to orientation.

    I just got done with my DOT Physical. Passed! So happy now. Time to sign up at FCCJ and get my career started. Which btw wasn't anything. They took my blood pessure, heart rate, vision check, muscle check, hearing test.

    Unfortunately, there was two guys ahead of me that were there for the same physical. I got stuck with the Trainee on his own for the first time. He said that my blood pressure was really high, and my vision wasn't good enough. Sent me back to a room to wait. Another person came in to double check this dudes work, and boom done in like 5 minutes with no problems. I must say, I was freaking that the guy who did it first basically failed me. Didn't know he was a trainee til I asked the next person that came back and double check. But the hearing test was they hit a peace of metal on a blunt object with me standing 6 feet away and asked if I can hear the ringing. Was kinda weird but I said OK!

    Good news, I heard again that if you can't pass your BP you should drink mustard 10 minutes before your test.
