Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything.

Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog.

I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Questions for you from a wanna-be trucker: 1) Do you feel safe when you're sleeping in the rig? 2) How long have you been with your company? Do you want to be an owner/op? I'm a mom with kids at home still, going to be signing up for trucking school hopefully before school lets out in early June (April hopefully). Do you have any advice? (As long as said advice is not "don't do it," I'm all ears! Thanks! I love your blog!

How do you feel about driving solo? Would you rather have a partner/driver? Ty June.

Hi Gi-Gi

Have you ever thought about getting a little dog so you will have some company on the road? I know some truckers have dogs and even cats traveling on the road with them.

But maybe you can't have a pet if you don't own the truck?

Anon: How old are your children? And what is it about driving that attracts you?

The kids range from 24 to 10. Two are out of the house, the other 3 are 10. Yes, you read that right. What attracts me to driving? The solitude... ;) Plus I have always always always loved to drive. When I got my driver's license at 16, everybody promised me that I would "get sick" of driving, but that hasn't happened yet. Obviously because of the age of the younger kids, I'll be looking for a local or regional route type job for a few years, but I would dearly love to go over-the-road.

First, let me say I'm a GIANT fan. I found your blog through my friend P (grumpnet) and I read the entire thing the first night and I check in on you at least three or four times a week. You're doing something I've totally wanted to do, but never had the cojones to do. :) I admire you SO much for doing it!

I've said a million times how much I'd love a life on the road with nothing but me and some XM. Your adventures keep me smiling and I feel sympathy for you when you're having a crappy day.

I don't really have a question at the minute, just heaping praise. If I think one one, I'll be back! Keep rockin', girl!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
