She does and, still silent, drives off. A dog sat on the seat would have shown more animation.

Been there, done that. People show Semi-drivers zero respect. I had a lady try and cut me off at a merge-I was only in a 26' at the time- and when her lane ended and she was supposed to merge to me, I could see her car at the back wheels of my trailer. 5' behind her, or 40' in front of her? What do you think she chose? Then she's the one honking at me for not letting her in! Oh, and for the record I was in the lane she was merging into, with it being my right of way.

Well the thing is.Seniors are the ones getting out and voting.While most younger people are "Just To Busy".So when legislation is introduced to the ballot.They come out in droves to vote the bill down.So when grandma runs into you.Or grandpa kills some one.Remember,You were to busy to vote in the bill that might have save an innocent persons life.Your kids,Your Grandma/Grandpa.Or maybe even you.
Here in Arizona we've got seniors like we've got cactus.So they always get it shot down.
VOTE WHEN A BILL LIKE THIS IS PROPOSED.

you think theyre voting correctly everytime? I'm sure a lot of them get confused by wording, cant see, or whatever and vote for the wrong thing anyway. And if it was my daughter that was in the crosswalk that got hit and killed by the senior citizen i would much rather trade their vote for my daughters life. Who knows...im sure they have hit ppl before DRIVING to the voting polls. Are you really comparing a child/adults life to a vote?!

In my area 57% of the voter turnout for the 2008 pres election was between 18-34 years old.

Yea that will definitley fuck your day up. Some guy ran a stop sign on me before and straight up T-Boned me from the driver side. Made my full size truck spin and end up on the sidewalk a few feet from a pediatric medical daycare. If I hadnt sped up the dickhead would have nailed me dead on. And he wasnt even old! Not having your vehicle while getting repairs blows not mention just the whole hassle of it all to begin with.

In my town and my state, seniors have come out in drives every time something came up on the ballot to cut taxes even though every single time it meant cutting funding for education. They don't give a shit about kids because theirs are all grown up now, so they would glady have schools closed and teachers lose jobs just so they can save a few bucks a year on property taxes.

And they ALWAYS vote. It's not like they have anything better to do.

my dad is a teacher, my brother is a teacher, my sister is a teacher, my fiance is a teacher--they get paid way too little for what they do. when im done at work i come home and relax and eat. she comes home and has tests to grade, new tests to make up, conference phone calls with parents, etc etc. fuck that. the reason i bring that up is because of that huge senior citizen vote, no levys pass. a lot of schools have to cut sports/extra-curricular activities which in turn affects the housing market--who wants to buy a house thats in a school disctrict with no sports?

The other day an older lady at the city counsil meeting proposed teachers get a pay cut!! so they can save on taxes. ha, are you kidding me?!

I don't care if some of it is fake or not...very entertaining site!

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, I always say.

So i woke up this morning and my shoulder hurts like hell. I go to the doctor at 130. Im gonna train legs here in a bit. Ive been talking to insurance people today and yesterday.

I dont understand about the voting thing. because they vote its okay that this dude fucked up my car and my body? I dont get that.

macker00001 · November 3rd, 2009, 12:20 PM

Man 4 days before christmas I got hit by a drunk driver. My car was about a month old. Didnt have too much damage but they guy was getting up there in age too. I am with everyone, when I am old and don't feel like I can drive like a compitant person I will get one of those little scooters.

I've been on heavies for 5 years and sometimes on bad days I have to say 'You're still here after five so what's the worst?' It's my day off today after 60 hours and I'm shot away but on a good day I remember why I never gave it up yet

Being on a truck is possibly the easiest money you can make. Yeah, you have to deal with idiots all the time on the road, but an easy gig it is. Just have to be able to keep yourself awake and behind the wheel longer than anyone else!
After 60hrs, I guess you maxed out your DOT (in the US that's the name for the Org) hours huh?
And lastly, a lot of the truck stops we have aren't exactly bodybuilding friendly, eh?

What the fuck are you talking about

Lets try this.If you want them tested every year.Get to the voting both and vote it into law.Cause they get out and vote against it.

And the reason so many young people turnedout(Especially in Ohio)was because it's a blue state.And they got drunk on the hope & change kool-aid.
Because of it the countries got a hangover and woke up next to an ugly chick.

lilGiant · November 3rd, 2009, 02:46 PM

Fuck pete!! I feel you man!! Damn it im so pissed for you. How is the shoulder feeling. You may have talked about it a little bit i didnt read all the responses, just jumped right into posting!

60hrs yeah it's the max.

Most chain truckstops here aren't even truck friendly. Couple of good independents with bars/strip shows etc.

I'll stick some truck pics in my profile, check them out to compare.

Thers a stop sign to my right, i see this man in his car stop for literally a second and then goes through it while im comming down the road. I lock up my breaks and just embrace myself for whats about to happen. My car slams into his driver side door and i feel my shoulder dislocated. I lean over and it slips back in, right away i get out of the car and just freak out. I check to see if the man is okay. Its him and his wife. They were both in there 90s and had no clue what just happend.

And this is EXACTLY why these fuckin people should have to retake there fuckin exams. Sure it could have been far worse. But this shit fuckin blows. Goddamn it.

The doctor said its not a tear. I go to a PT tomorrow. It hurts like a bitch though, i get random sharp pains. I can raise it up the whole way and have good range of motion. But when weight is applied to it laterally it fuckin hurts. The pain is in the rear delt area.

You wouldn't be able to raise your arm above your head if you'd torn the supraspinatus. Since you dislocated it, you can bet your tendons and glenohumoral joint are pissed. PT will help, but it'll suck for a minute.

ha..dude i have no idea. I read your original post while i was at work probably preoccupied and "out of it", I thought you were talking about something completely different. i just read it again--didnt realize when you said they(senior citizens) come out and vote you were talking about them voting to not get retested. my bad, i think 6:30 am is too early in the morning for me to post about political shit
