    Funny how cutting your seat belt when your upside down in the drivers seat changes your view point.

    I don't know but I want to be healthy again. I don't want to be rich. I want to be healthy. As long as I have food to eat, have good health, and can visit and enjoy wilderness and nature, I am a happy man.

    And that’s the lamest thing I find about the job, sometimes when you need help and ask somebody they want to know what company you work for and use that as a deciding factor instead of common decency, but I’ve had mostly a positive experience so far

    That is the one thing I really liked about the milk hauling industry.

    I was a complete noob 0 experience driver. Backing into a dairy and look like you are having a hard time one of the regulars would tell you how to line it up and guide you in

    There a few really tight ones out there.

    Same with hooking hoses and some dairies routine.

    Most of the time the guys would just do it and say watch so you can do it the next time.

    Good bunch of guys most of the dairy drivers .

    I think I occasionally provided them with some real entertainment at one particular dairy in Goshen Indiana when I was issued the bay on the far left .

    A real joy with Western Star 4900 with a 60 inch sleeper and the turning radius of The Titanic

    And you don’t see the pipes and valves hanging out from the wall on the left that you can run into as you hug it.

    A Real Joy.

    Hey a quick question. What kind of drivers license Police Officers and State Troopers have?

    Not getting all religious but I can somewhat relate, when my dad overdosed almost 12 years ago I had a lot of pent up hatred and one of the things I directed it at was blaming god for letting something like this happen until I came to a crossroads in my life, a moment of clarity, that maybe really f’ed up #### happens in this world and it isn’t necessarily god’s fault; it was my dad who had a pill problem and he took them on his own free will and I’m sure you could draw a similar conclusion to your situation; my advice would be to either deny god exists entirely, or simply move on and let all that hate go regardless of which option you choose because sooner or later it’s gonna burn you up inside

    If this pain doesn't go away completely in the next 18 months, hatred for God will get into my bones. I will curse him every single second of my life. I believed in him and never did outrageous demands from him. I was poor but happy and had no desires. I was happy. But, if this pain doesn't go away, I will curse and scold him every second of my life until my last breadth.

    He may be powerful, but not powerful enough to stop me from cursing and scolding him.
