    You've started piss threads yourself - something to the effect of "handling piss jugs".

    I don't really give a #### either way, if you're not Supremeguy (which I'd still bet you are), then you definitely are from the same mother...

    When I started driving I lived in the truck for 3yrs. I had a PO box and no apartment or house. I'd stay out for a month or so then come back to the home terminal and take a day or two off to see a ballgame or something. I didn't mind it at all as I had no girlfriend or family to worry about. Took one day a week off on the road to re-set the log and treated it like a vacation. Always took a cab to see stuff in every city I was in. Made most of the MLB parks, saw a few Nascar races, museums, great food, scuba diving in Florida, deep-sea fishing in Cali, etc..treated it like a mini-vacation. I also saved enough in 3 years to pay cash for a house.

    In reading about health issues: I walked every day and watched what I ate and didn't gain a pound. Got up at 0500 every day and stopped about 1700 or so and drove hard in between. Dispatch never complained because I used my log up every week and never turned down a load. I have never been bothered by solitude and never get lonely so that was not an issue at all for me. Everyone is different. My FMgr would send me a message every morn asking if I was ok and I'd reply one word "yup". Talked to him every couple of weeks on the phone because thats all that was needed. he kept me running and that was all I cared about.

    Yeah I wonder if not all of us will pack on weight because I hardly work out and eat fast food but still have a little four pack.

    When your laptop takes a crap and you no longer have video games your not just going to be able to stop running and have it fixed, it may take a while

    I had a laptop and it worked for 3yrs with no problem as they should. Buy a good one and don't worry about that. They are cheap enough now that if it does break somehow throw it out and get another one.

    I always backup everything and he could always go to a store and restore his games on a new laptop. By the time a computer breaks there is usually one way more powerful at the same price.

    Haha, well the bottom part is a little round, I used to have a six pack and now just the top two rows have muscles.
