As to the first sentence...exactly what my wife says when I head out the door!Brickman Thanks this. -
Besides the fact that if you don't own the mortuary...it is basically a minimum wage field...hard to support a family on those wages. But the experience and the schooling actually helped me to understand more on the medic side of things.59Panhead Thanks this. -
I'm below average I guess at 5.6" and in a freight I was uncomfortable, but in a volvo I could move things around and get really comfy. so it may just be a truck thing use the helper cushion or try a different truck if you can. I worked for that Big white trucking company that no one likes and the really terrible "not" dm had me check out a couple of trucks and pick the one I wanted. by the way " short women are SEXY"

I tell ya, tattoo's and piercing's don't bother me but surgery and need's will make me high tail it out of there faster than cloud to ground lighting. They wanted to do surgery on my right arm when I was 5 after falling off my bike. Problem is the bone didn't break. It bent. Today it's still the same and they still want to completely cut it out and reset it but I told them no way in hell. It's still the same way but I'm grown and have no problems with it and you can't tell any difference unless both arm's are brought together in the same position and yu can tell one is turned out more than the other. If it ever came down to back surgery for me, I'm in deep ####!

I wish I could afford insurance but sadly to say I don't have any and won't be unless I see a significant increase in my yearly earning's. I'm affraid to see a chiropractor for the very reason Wildbill states of having to have surgery after 6 visit's to the chiro and a trip to the ER.
Yea, as a matter of fact the truck I was assigned was a 09' Century with black vynal seat's. Fairly new truck when I got it. FM asked why I ended up stopping so much and I told him it was because of the seat. Around about 200 miles depending on how rough the road was I would barely be able to climb down and walk which I did with a stagger constantly chompin' on excedrin all the time which I still do to ease it up.
Start getting into physical yard work and such and the next day I'm not only in pain but so #### stiff I can't move. I'll have to check out that pro-adjuster. Some time's my lower back hurt's but most of the pain I have is in my mid and upper back. -
As for the low rider. Na, but I wouldn't mind owning a stretched out low ridin' pete for personal use and fun around town.
I tried the cusion but didn't like how it made me sit high up than I really comfortably cared for. I think next time I might try a piece of memory foam or something where I can have cusion but not gain much heigth if any at all. -
otherhalftw Thanks this.
