Our hot water heater conked out, and we were without hot water from Saturday evening through Monday (today) midafternoon.

But it’s back now! I got to do dishes! I’m excited about dishes! Later I’m goung to start some laundry* and give poor James an actual bath!

*we actually use cold water for laundry, but it’s in the basement, and the leaking hot water heater was in the basement. I thought and Billy agreed that we shouldn’t run it until the hot water heater was fixed. They actually ended up replacing the whole thing.

Does anyone else think the new ‘Episodes’ ad with the pregnant woman is creepy?

I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I don’t think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So here’s some things we wish everyone on the road knew.

- we’re not kidding about tailgating. If you’re right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA you’re there, which means we can’t anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.

- We’re not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CAN’T SEE YOU, GUYS.

- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when you’re in front of us. Don’t cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE don’t cut off a truck. If you cut me off, I’m not irritated, I’m terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DON’T CUT OFF TRUCKS.

- Before you get mad about how slow we’re going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CAN’T go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Because…

- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but it’s not worth your life.

We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.

This information is actually useful.  Thanks for posting.

ALL OF THIS, A BAG OF POTATO CHIPS, A BURGER, AND AN EXTRA LARGE SHAKE!

Seriously, I drive trucks as my day job and I can’t tell you how many times people pull this kind of bullshit!

WE CANNOT STOP ON A DIME, PEOPLE!

IN A BATTLE BETWEEN YOU AND THE TRUCK, THE TRUCK WILL WIN.

THE TRUCK WILL ALWAYS WIN.

If you’re passing a truck, don’t come back over into their lane until you can see the windshield in your rearview mirror. That’s how you know, for SURE, you’re out of their blind spot.

i am all for the normalization of sex but can we stop telling young and teenage girls to be hoes and suck dick and break hearts….sex is hardly power at this age it’s more or less just emotionally damaging

Food for thought

LOUDER!

So that thing y’all do where you come in at 10 minutes to closing, buy half the store, and want to debate prices, super coupon, and price match at the same time is causing retail workers to miss their last bus home a lot of times. 

Don’t be that person
