Ive notice most of you guys on here are hillbillys. Is that true?

Daniel , you don't notice very well . You seem to read about as well as you spell . I live about
170 miles north of you in Morgantown and am a hillbilly .
Many of the folks responding to your post live in other parts of the world .
You got booted out of here a time or two before for inappropriate comments under other names . I hope that doesn't happen again . A whole world is out there for you if you choose to embrace the realm of knowlege .

 

[ivan salis]

the youngins a hillbilly himself ( being from WV) so don't think he meant any harm by it -- more like he was saying ---you folks are "hunting and fishing types" --outdoors men /women that right?

I just think past people or ' better'. My spelling is bad becuase I had pre-school in first grade becuase the teachers torgured me and gave me punishments that I didn't understand the need for.. I have a scar on my right arm the shape of a moon from when I was little a teacher dug her long nails into my arm and dragged me down the hallway. I know this becuase I remember it and my mother proved it with another kid that wen't to the same school the same time I did. From my first sentance " sorry for the spelling". I will give you guys of a view on whats going on in my head. Have you ever said " thats very clean". At an object?" well how about if you found another of the same object that is cleaner than the first then so on and so forth. How about if you said "god was real and he is the all powerful?" Wouldn't there be more? gods parents, and his intire family tree would go back ages. This is were the revalution thoery comes in. Take a speck that you can't see with the human eye or a microscope or even the most high power devises that you could see though. Now that speck is just a very little one. To one is way littler than the first. Now my brain is starting to spin. OK how can I make you guys understand this better?

What's that got to do with the price of cabbage?

Truckinbutch, I HATE that damn hill on the eastside of your hometown. In 1991, I lost my brakes coming down that hill with a load of "big paper"........rig maxed out at 80,000lbs. I learned to LOVE that emergency ramp, though. I think that sign at the top lied. It claimed that hill was 7 & 1/2 percent. BULL. It was more like 50%

 

[civil war hunter]

I'm not a hillbilly none of you are. No ones rich, no ones poor, no one is middles class or better than anyone else its just a theory on how people act..

the youngins a hillbilly himself ( being from WV) so don't think he meant any harm by it -- more like he was saying ---you folks are "hunting and fishing types" --outdoors men /women that right?

Knowing his history , I don't think so , Ivan . Some of his views can be rather narrow . That's
what got him expelled from TN before .
He is maturing and I would like to see that continue .

Then you have a worthy task. Mentoring is always an honor and maybe t-net members will help when the veiw narrows down a bit. : )

You survived . Many haven't . Wreckers didn't take long to get you pulled off the ramp .How long did it take you to pick all that seat cusion out of the crack ? I've had runaway trucks , too .

 

[ivan salis]

I got kin folk in west virginia and my grandpappy was from west by god verginny as he called it -- so yep I'm at least part "hillbilly" and as such I just love the outdoors -- I'm also smart by most folks way of thinking , so the old "dumb hick hillbilly" stero type don't play by me .

The wrecker was pretty quick. I'm sure he'd had a lot of practice. It took about 3 weeks to get ALL of the cushion out of the glutinous maximus. A week later, I had to stop at the top of Cajon on I-15 and have a cigarette before starting down. That worked out pretty good, cause the entrance to the scales filled up and I got the bypass light. JBH did not speck his trucks with Jakes or Blue Mules. We just had brake pads, shoe leather, and pray..........not necessarily in that order. I've gone off every big hill in the country except NORTHbound Grapevine and Wolf Creek. At times, the "pucker factor" and the "fun meter" would BOTH peak out.

Shortstack you evidently learned much since you are still alive . There are old truckers and bold truckers ....NO Old Bold Truckers . I drove two and a half million miles in class 8 rigs , much of it OD ,
and most of it with Wonder brakes (wonder if they are gonna work the next time you need them) and
descended every grade you didn't mention as well as the ones you did . Tip of the hat to a fellow HAND that survived

Back at you, TB.

Cabbage after an ice storm..............Racing a motorhome down 4th of July in the snow..............Ahhhhhhh, such memories.

If God ever decided to iron out WV, it'd be the size of Texas.

I lived in Alaska for 3 years and that's something like the Sourdough joke I heard about 5 minutes after setting foot there.

Well, we've ( I've ) gotten far enough off topic for now, so guess I should turn it back.

Ahhhhhhh, let's see. Oh, yeah. "One would have to be pretty "squirrelly" to drive some of the roads we've seen, heh?" Or "Squirrels make good survival food." Yeah, I like the second one.

 

[ivan salis]

a lot of up and down mileage for such a small state thats fer sure.

This talk of the hunting and fishing reminds me of the question, "What is the definition of VEGETARIAN?

Answer...

Old indian word for BAD HUNTER.

The use of the term 'Hillbilly' is an acceptable term, and at times endearing, unless there is an implied derogatory connutation.

A wise man understands when to use the emphasis.

Did someone use my name in vain? I do believe in feeding the squirrels. I feed them to the dog, the neighbors cat, and even to my family sometimes. But I have never even seen a squarrel. Are they dangerous? Monty
