That's a two-way street. Our driving park (I refer to as the 'Track' where I walk also) has put a ban on dogs for this very reason. I'm not anti-dog or anti-old lady or anti-anything. I always offer up a wave and a smile on my walks, but when people start fucking with me, this will go away quickly.

You wouldn't walk through dog shit either, why should us trail walkers have to ?? Seriously, they only need to pull the dog a mere 5 feet off the trail - problem solved. Where I park has zero bearing on dog shit, so leave me alone.

Good for you T. I am going to look at a used one this week that I may buy from a co-worker. This will get me through untill I can save a little more and get the one I want. Have fun with the new wheels.

It's financial suicide but I don't even care Fenster. I don't care if I have to suck down Campbell's all month for my cause. I'm willing to make the trade-off.

I can't keep doing these mega-walks much longer, they're really beating the shit out of me and it's become more of a job than a pleasure. My only ever attempt to lose weight was back in 1987 and I lost 60 lbs by doing 2 simple things. I didn't eat after 6pm and I rode my bike every night after supper.

The nice thing about that 'plan' was I could eat whatever for supper but it had to not exceed one plateful and no seconds (which was challenge for me :D). I did what 95% do, I hit my target weight and gave up. Man, to think I had this in the bag 20 years ago... oh well. I remember my cousin losing 100 lbs on this and he gave me the parameters for it, it really was an easy 'plan' to follow. A person could actually do this for a lifetime and never be on a 'diet', just discipline. I mean really, isn't that part of our lifelong plan anyway ??

If you get rid of your car the rest of your weight should drop off! My gosh I can't imagine trying to walk everywhere when you need something. I would be walking all day!!:D

I'm seriously sitting here doing the pro's and con's. The reality of it is I probably can't pull it off based on living too far away from stuff. If I had a washer and dryer here, I think I could pull it off - at least till winter then it would be a real problem.

Hey Randy; it's been too long since I've poked my head in here. *hanging my head in shame* I'm sorry. :(

Somehow I've missed you making it down to 218!!! Congratulations!

well, we're all "me" persons; after all, we have to survive. but you give a lot to people. i know you hear that all the time, but it sounds like you need to hear it today? well, maybe not "need" to, but i'm telling ya anyway.

kinda in a Jesse James way I suppose ;) Just remember, it takes a beast to live in the east :)

Well I should really make my way out there. I'm impressed by your trucking history--I HATE long car drives, ugh, gag, choke, die :p But it would be nice to get our of California and see what's going on in the rest of the US. Hmmmm...I AM interested in see how warm the Atlantic ocean is, comparatively...

Hope you had a good day!

As much as I loved trucking Cali, I was always happy to leave it too. It got to the point where it would take 3 hours to get from Ontario to Santa Barbara :mad: I'd never make it past Vegas in a car if I drove out of Cali to here. I stopped 'visiting' Vegas in the big truck when the taxi rides (from the truckstop) got up about 80.00 one way - screw that.

The Atlantic doesn't get too warm too soon in the north east, July, August would be optimum times I would say.

OK. :)

Dog poop and people getting in my way would piss me off, too.

Just the poo - the people population is rather sparse. I never gave one person the business on that trail ever. I asked politely about the offending party controlling the situation. I'm an easy target for revenge seekers because I look mean and people don't know how to take me. Internally I couldn't be farther from that perception.

Maybe I need to :) more. *shrugs*

Me, I like to scowl. Keeps people outta my way! (Well, I am a NYC gal originally.) ;)

BTW, I love the expression to give someone "the business." I use it a lot. :)
 
Driving in Cali Highway traffic is the pits. I especially hate 580. Apparently part of it went up in flames near Oakland last weekend. Fortunately, the truck driver escaped the explosion without much harm!!!
 
You look mean T2? That's darling. Guess what? Instead of becoming a trucker, I might date one. A friend introduced me to a guy who has started to phone me and we are having very nice conversations. He looks mean but he's not...he plants flowers. Awwwww.
 
*scowls*


ya know I read a bumper sticker once that said Mean people suck..........and nice people swallow............ok if i offended........... anyone.......well BLEEPing excuse me!!!

Tman you know i think mean guys are sexy!!!

Star, you's a dirty little lady! tut tut
Randy, I understand what you mean about being able to intimidate people by the way you look. I've had people whp now know me very well tell me that the first time they saw me they were scared of me because I looked bitchy and aggressive. I don't really think I do, but whatever. I mean, c'mon, look at my sweet adorable little avatar :D But you're have the advantage of being a trucker, which somehow toughens up your exterior. My trucker uncle is terrifying.

No doubt that sucks. That wreck made it here too on national news. Thank God the driver walked away. I was only ever in one big truck wreck in my whole career, a 89-year old man did a U-turn right in front of me @ 55mph @79,000+ lbs. I thought I killed the old bastard. He only had a bunged up wrist and a set of broken dentures. His Ford Taurus was demolished yet surprisingly held up well considering. He never drove again.

lil ol you ?? mean looking ?? holey moley !! eh the bitchy and aggressive thing is pretty hot - always :) Your wit intimidates me somewhat but not much else, you're too clever for this old hillbilly.


One wonders how I woulda been perceived here without 'trucker' in my sn ?? I think the 'mean look' comes from the countless hours of blank stares from driving *shrugs*
 
G'Morning
(Not a drive by - I haven't said that in anyone elses's diary this morning) :)
