CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO WERE BORN IN THE

1940’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s !

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos..

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, raw egg products, loads of bacon and processed meat, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer.

Then after that trauma, our baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags and we went round the streets on Go-carts made from old pram wheels & bits of wood.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Nandos.

Even though all the shops closed at 6.00pm and didn’t open on the weekends, somehow we didn’t starve to death!

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.  Read more...

For All You Truckers Out There

Since I put more than 2 million miles under my skinny behind inside truck cabs weighing up to 140,000 lbs. or 63,500 kg. I have at least a limited knowledge of the trucking industry.While pulling flat beds,vans,reefers,rack and tarp or sliders,multi axle and B-trains,I handled lumber to dry bulk,steel to plastic and liquified petroleum gases like propane.

But what I learned to handle best was people and most have some sense of humour

This includes shippers,dock workers,receivers,and dispatchers ;simple hard workers, management and most of all Truck Drivers without whom there would be no goods in any stores nor a car in nearly every driveway.

There are many drivers out on the roads including those that drive the big rigs, but only the best can be called “Truck Drivers”. Personally I am a very good accident free driver of trucks ;someone who needed a ‘job’.As I said,I am good at it but my heart is at home ,not on the road.

So, for all you drivers who can tell many stories ,I give you a list of links about truck stories,many of them funny,[They are not my sites and hopefully most of the addad tales remain clean.]

Hope you enjoyed them.Ya all come back now,ya hear.  Read more...
