I'm glad you're feeling better, Stude.

It's funny about diesels as they are the norm here and yet the smoking and sputtering you speak of that we tend to associate with them simply isn't the norm here. Our Chevy is a diesel and it behaves like no differently than any other vehicle I had in the states...except that it gets better gas mileage.

DaRev · Mar 25, 2010

How do diesel fuel prices there compare to the States? Here, the higher price of DF compared to regular unleaded makes the mileage difference moot.

Yes, well I suppose people would also say that flatulence isn't either and neither is pleasant, so there!

Revrand, before Diesels became popular in the seventies, the fuel was considerably cheaper than Gas. The oil companies saw the trend change and immediately raised the cost of diesel higher than gas. It nearly ruined the truckers.

It's the wee hours of the morning and it reminds me of the Scottish prayer:

From ghoulies and ghosties
And long-leggedy beasties
And things that go bump in the night,
Good Lord, deliver us!

Diesel cause brain cancer, mechanics are at the biggest risk cause they work on them in close quarters, although unlike when I was a diesel mechanic over 20 years ago all garages are now required to special exhaust tubes for trucks, and air venting systems for the entire shop.

Also, diesl coast less to produce. Its all about money. Pres Carter is the one who nearly destroyed the trucking industry,and now we have a Pres who is determined to destroy the whole country, and has a good start.

Sorry for my rant. Its just very troubling to those has have fought and died to keep our freedoms, which are quickly disaprearing toq big governmenyt power.

Don't be sorry - it's all truth.

I agree with both you and Seajoy, Jim.

I find it very interesting that the Dems are constantly calling Pres. Bush a war monger when their god JFK instituted the Vietnam war and Johnson continued it till put out of office by Nixon. It was the Republican who ended the fiasco.

Now, our economy is on the ropes because we produce nothing. We produce nothing because the environmental laws and regulation are such a burden on business they exported our jobs. Funny how it was the Dems who put in the laws that made it impossible for the U.S. to compete in the world marketplace. Then they made it possible for countries like China to ignore the environment, fair marketing practices, and ethical business practice and still to have favoured nation status. Yet, the Unions still back the Dems who eliminated their jobs. The general public still votes for the people who have destroyed our economy and want to shackle it for generations to come.

Funny, that... isn't it?

Most of you know my past with mental health problems. I've really gone downhill fast and am having much depression trouble. If anyone feels like it, I could use some prayer. Too much has hit me all at once, and I'm not able to take it. Can't stop that crying thing.

porterross · May 19, 2010

:hugs: Seajoy, you know you're not alone.

Tangible · May 19, 2010

So sorry to hear that, Seajoy. My dear wife has similar challenges. I'll be praying.

seajoy · May 19, 2010

Thanks guys....but I feel like a lost cause.

QuiltAngel · May 19, 2010

Seajoy, read Psalm 103 aloud a few times. There are other Psalms which are good at this time too.

Sis, is your Gyno a woman? If so, have you been to see her lately? Medications can cause problems with the chemical balance in a woman's body and that can lead to some of the problems you are experiancing. If your Gyno. isn't a woman, switch. Men have no buisiness in that field. I mean, men are okay for delivering babies and such, I guess. But not for the day-to-day examinations and so on. Forgive me if I'm repeating things that you've already tried or brought up something embarrasing. But a woman's chemistry is not something to be taken lightly. It's cruicial.

And yes, sweetie, you are always in my prayers. Although, it sometimes seems that I am the least of the Lord's servants...

On a happier note, I recieved no less than nine Happy Birthday notices from the various Forum Boards I log onto. Automated, to be sure, still... I wish my children were so thoughtful.

seajoy · May 20, 2010

Stude - I've been doing all the doctoring that I can muster. Thanks for your advice. Thank you for your prayers.

Hope your birthday was happy.

I read this twice this morning. It was of great comfort to me. Doing everything I can to stay out of the hospital. God's love is so important to me right now.

Happy Birthday, Stude!!!

Hang in there, Ang.
