    Expediting

    Do you need or run a logbook? for commercial interstate drivers? It sounds like what are also known as Hot-Shot drivers. Just for fun I went to the Fort Worth Craigslist (I know, that's just where you're hanging out) and ran a search under jobs for "expediting." None of these are driving jobs...

    Ella1, I don't know if you know about this, or if it could even help, but there is a program for paying back student loans base on your income. In some cases it can lower your payments. This is a government website (.gov) for "income-driven repayment plan." I'm sure (actually I don't know for...

    Electric Bike Reviews

    I agree; it's all getting crazy. A news report states that the top of the line GMC pickup (with all the bells and whistles) will approach $100,000.00. And if you don't or can't drive anymore, what your choice. You can easily spend $3,000.00 to  $5,000.00 for a good mobility scooter and seen...

    You're right, I misread your intentions. I hadn't considered how this could effect people with limited data for the Internet. I'll try to be more considerate in future posts and thanks for clarifying.

    Wireless earbuds

    my wife and I do the same thing, hers are good for 3 hours but my Mpow Jaws (as I said) are still good and connected in the morning.

    Completely unlimited & unthrottled mobile data

    So gave you another "thank you" :thumbsup: I don't like apps and the permissions you have to hand over, but at the same token I guess you could purchase a used unlock phone that qualifies with Visible, load the app, activate the SIM card, then delete the app. Then just use that phone as a...

    Thanks, I did check them out, it took more then an hour on the chat, but they did answer my question. It looked to me like you must download and install their app, here how it went "Me: Is the app required for service? Lucas: Good day to you this is Luke, I would be more than happy to help...

    Completely unlimited & unthrottled mobile data

    Okay, I went to the Unlimited To Go website and yes, it's expensive. But would it be faster then Dish or DirectTV? I talk to Dish about Internet and they told me (off the record) it's not much faster then dial-up. That it's made for people that have no other choice. My wife does graphics from...

For those that don't understand, earth anchors, they get there strength from pulling at an angle, the sharper the angle the more it will hold.

    folding chair - $35.00

    If you ever get to Texas, there are stores called Five Below. Everything in the store is $5.00 or less. They sell the folding chair that all four corners come together so they're about 8 inches in diameter. I just don't trust a $5 chair, so I've never bought them. But I have bought a lot of...
