    Maybe I'll take some time and find the lost Dutchman's mine once and for all.
    After that I'll locate the missing Civil War gold or Blackbeard's treasure. And then for the grand finale I'll get definitive proof of the existence of Sasquatch.

    Got any warehouses in your area?? See if they're hiring and sit on a forklift loading and unloading trucks.

    Not technically a no. If you have a valid prescription have the doc write a letter saying it won't effect your ability to drive. One of my friends has been on it for years and he's been driving for 10 years.

    "There is an exception: the prescribing doctor can write that the driver is safe to be a commercial driver while taking the medication. In this case, the Medical Examiner may, but does not have to certify the driver."

    He has bad add. You can be talking to him and sometimes he won't even register you've said anything, just off in his own world. Then when he starts talking you can't get a word in. And other times he's normal
