Shopping List

[kahlana]

Okay Ladies I'm looking for a list of things you always have with you in the truck that you feel you absolutely cannot live with out. It can be anything from your CB and antennae to your fuzzy slippers and comfy robe.
What are the things that you always make sure you have with you before you hop in the cab?

1)They have these black pocketed binder at Wally world, they actually come in blue and red I think. Well they're cloth and make excellent log books.

2) small note pad ( You will need it)
3) A few good pens and calculator
4) small basket we call it a shower basket.
It should hold your toiletries for the shower and your clothes when your done. I should include shower sandles trust me.
5)a camera digital or disposable
6) Road Atlas


If your brother is a trucker you probably already know this stuff. Good Luck out There.

OH.... and "I" am the one who can't resist mental masturbation?? (Can I SAY that here?) :shock: :lol:

Kahlana: You innocently "opened a door" TWICE! I stepped aside.... and Ridge stumbled through!! :shock: :lol:

Yeah... we just like to have a little FUN here, now and then! I was just gonna say..... "ME" (in answer to your question.) :wink:

"HOOTERS!" Ha! What would a WOMAN need with HOOTERS in her truck? :shock: [Not that many have to WORRY about it!]

But, I "second" the realization that you are "quick of wit!" :lol: :lol:

And.... WHAT the heck happened to your Avatar?? ONE minute I'm looking at a blank page.... the NEXT I'm faced with an attractive woman who needs to [b]SMILE more often! :wink:

As for your original question.... which I've forgotten now, (and since I'm not a woman, it seems MY opinion is not what you are looking for,) I'll have to get BACK to ya! But.... here's ONE thing I would put on YOUR list....


1) Self Esteem! NEVER, ever, get into your cab without it! If you've GOT your CDL.... and it is YOUR cab.... You EARNED it!! Ain't nobody HERE gonna strip you of it! Not while "I" am not banned! :lol:

Welcome to the Board! Welcome to Trucking! And that goes for your HUSBAND, too!! [which I hope you don't HAVE!...... I'm getting a "complex" from flirting with all the MARRIED ladies here!] :lol: :wink:

[mommee]

I'm getting a "complex" from flirting with all the MARRIED ladies here!] :lol: :wink:

We MARRIED ladies here don't flirt :wink: (at least not on purpose).

[golfhobo]

I'm getting a "complex" from flirting with all the MARRIED ladies here!] :lol: :wink:

We MARRIED ladies here don't flirt :wink: (at least not on purpose).

WHO said you DID?? :shock: I said that "I" was doing the "flirting!"

PLEASE don't take away my only FUN!! Did I say that I was getting a complex "because the married women here just won't quit FLIRTING with me?" I don't THINK so! :lol:

FIRST.... because I would NEVER complain about THAT!

SECOND.... because I only feel SAFE flirting with married women! :shock:

THIRD.... Um.... er.... I forgot.... see "First."

Last time I flirted with a SINGLE woman, she got me pregnant, took my child away, and left me with a complex!! :lol:

Flirting with SINGLE women is dangerous! First thing you know, they want to have "relations." :wink: THEN, of course.... they want to CRITIQUE them! :shock: :lol:

And, if one is not REAL careful..... one night, when you're sound asleep, the angels come down and give you CHILDREN! :twisted:

THEN, you end up MARRYING them.... and the next thing you know..... you're FLIRTING with them again! :shock: WTF??? :lol: MEN don't understand this! It's kinda like the DEFENSE scoring a touchdown! 8)

I like it best MY way! "I" get to flirt without getting married or pregnant. "They" get the attention they need and reflect it. NO ONE gets hurt or pregnant! :lol:

Flirting with single women is a crap shoot, because THEY get to "choose." Flirting with Married women is easy, because THEY have already MADE their choice! No harm, no foul.... we ALL know the "score."

Like someone once said.... "Why buy the COW when you can get a married woman to MILK it?" :lol: :lol:

Okay.... THAT just wasn't RIGHT! :wink:

Alright.... let me be clear here..... I like flirting with married women because they have replaced ISSUES with TISSUES!!

And I defy ANY married woman here to rebut me! Getting married, sooner or later, leads to GROWING UP! Those who don't....FAIL! THose who don't FAIL.... KNOW I'm right! :wink:

Hey, Hoggie! You got a shovel with a longer handle?? This hole is getting a bit DEEP!! :lol: :lol:

[Trukrswyfe]

I'll save you Golf,

You have already covered this topic of flirting. The problem lies in one's definition. You have defined flirting as anything said or done in your direction i.e. " throwing rocks".

The married woman such as myself are simply "throwing rocks at you to make sure YOU are still alive" :D .

Sorry dude tried :)

That's your reply? "Sorry?" Not ONE word about my compliment? Nor my support? Okay.... you're new here. I'll give it more time..... but the jury is STILL "out." :roll:

Okay, I see you edited your reply, although it doesn't show it. Good thing I DELETED the last half of MY response! :lol:

I don't "do" Myspace, or videos and such. but, it's nice to know you can smile. I'll back off and we'll go from here.

after your post about fliriting i was scared to say anything that might be construed as givng you a complex.

BUT..................
thank you VERY much for the lovely compliment *batting eyelashes and blushing slightly* and for being so very supportive by passing on such really awesome advice...
... and im NOT flirting or trying to give you a complex....

okay maybe just a lil bitty one... maybe :twisted:

What IS it with all this "editing" before I can even post a reply?? :shock: :lol: :lol:

Let's talk "definitions." You are wrong. I defined "women flirting with ME as not throwing rocks." The definition of flirting can ALSO include MY words about or toward another.

But, please DO keep on throwing rocks! It DOES keep me alive, although it is the OPPOSITE of what I defined "flirting" as.

I said, if a woman doesn't throw rocks at me, I call it flirting, (with me.) But, hey.... throwing rocks is okay! NEGATIVE attention is better than NO attention! Just ask Fozzy! :lol:

[mommee]

I don't get the issues with tissues thing, please explain. :?: Women still have issues after we get married, just different ones. And I guess the tissues would be for the kids noses :lol: ?

Shovel with a longer handle???? Dude you need a backhoe

I think he needs something bigger than a backhoe at this point. :lol:

But I still think you're okay :wink:

My bad... we seem to miss read each other. Whatever I still think we are defining flirting differently...witty post 4 witty post is not flirting in my book but if it gets your rocks off well good for you.

Gee, Trukrswyfe..... you're being a Grinch! :lol:

Not only will you NOT flirt with me...... but you won't even let me PRETEND you are! :cry: :cry: :cry: :lol:

At any rate, like I told Mommee, "I'm" the one doing the "flirting." I HAVE to stay in practice...... one day, I might actually MEET a woman, and I wouldn't want to miss out just because I'd forgotten HOW! :wink:

[golfhobo]

Sorry, my "writers" are still On Strike.... and I'm having to "wing it!" But, yeah.... I THINK I meant something like that. :wink: Mostly, I just liked the RHYME! :lol:

But, you're RIGHT about married women still having issues. I'd forgotten how my wife used to be.... UNTIL you made me remember! :evil:

I just meant that they (married women) didn't have the same kinds of issues dealing with single men that single women do. 8)

ya know... technically its not the "meeting" women thats the problem.. its what ya do with 'em after... things could get a lil hairy at that point... jut a thought

There..... THAT'S better! And don't worry about giving me a complex. It would be worth it to have a single woman flirt with me again! :wink:

Besides..... what's ONE MORE gonna hurt? :shock:

Oh... and thank YOU for the compliment...("You SO rock!") No woman (especially a YOUNG one,) ever said I ROCKED before! Took TEN years off my age! :lol: :lol:

AND..... sorry about hijacking your thread!! I didn't really MEAN it to get carried away like this. Maybe, I should ask CAD to put a "sticky" on this forum...... "THROW A BONE TO HOBO" :lol: :lol:

Naw..... it would never get past ONE page..... and I'd be CRUSHED! :lol:

[kahlana]

LOL hobo.. i have no problem with you hijacking me... i mean my thread... LOL.. in the meantime i still could use some ideas of what i should take on the road with me... other than the small pillow and camera i usually have the rest in my backpack...

a couple pair of gloves - the cloth ones with rubber palm/fingers are good for fueling

flashlight ... with extra batteries - - buy one that could also be used as a weapon, fits tight in the palm of you hand with a little weight to it. ... I also had a small light weight flashlight that would fit comfortable in my mouth so I could have light while using both my hands to lock the back doors or other things .. :)

extra pair of shoes, you will get fuel, grease and water on them ...

list of Doctors numbers you use on a regular bases. They can call in a script anywhere.

List of important number's written down so if someone needs to call your family for you - - they won't know who all the people are in your address book in your cell phone.

ball cap or scarf for your hair - when you crawl under the trailer you will come out with grease or dirt in your hair.

just a few things that came to me - that were helpful. :wink:

oooh those are very helpful... another pair of shoes is first on the list to pick up since i only have my pretty but functional snowboots and a pair of tennis shoes that arent very functional but they are really cute lol

[wildkat]

Other stuff that you should never leave home without:

-extra towel & face cloth
-extra sheets & blankets, you never know when you could be stranded in the middle of nowhere, or come in wet & cold

Stuff for your truck:
-extra oil
-air brake antifreeze...a godsend when you have frozen brakes on trailers
-hammer, I have two, my tire thumper hammer & a 10 lb sledge for beating brakes
-a snipe, see above, I haul vans, but that snipe has come in real handy...even works as a persuader for too persistant males :lol:
-spare light cord
-socket set
-screw drivers
-extra rubber thingys for glad hands
-extra gladhand..they break

[kahlana]

whats a snipe? the only place i have ever heard the term was in the military... when they took noobs "snipe hunting" :shock:

[wildkat]

snipe...long metal pole...stick...used by deck haulers to tighten straps, about 3 ft long, has a, crap, can see the thing, just hard to describe... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[kahlana]

[wildkat]

kinda did a mental once over of my jockey box...forgot a couple of things...

-spare washer fluid
-gloves...lotsa gloves, specially this time of year, some to wear, some to dry...
-a couple of rags...good for everything from wiping grime off of you to stuffing a hole in something
-extra clothes of every sort, never know when you might need them
-if you have long hair like me, always pack a hat & extra hair ties & barettes, eleastics come in handy for a multitude of things besides your hair too.
-some wire, I pack a small roll of baling wire (at least that's what I call it :D ) & wire cutters, great for tying up lines, etc

[kahlana]

well now the baling wire i should have thought of... used to barb-wire fencing and that stuff comes in handy for EVERYTHING... have even used it to tie up a bra strap that broke when bouncing through one particularly hilly pasture
