sell some of the products in the store, but it is nowhere near as good. The vanilla ice cream bars covered with toasted almonds! The half and half popsicles with flavors like rasberry and lime that were SO fruity! The Good Humor man in his white outfit! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It was great!

The good ice cream on the ice cream truck sm
that used to go by my house. We would run out with nickels and buy cones. And yes, I do remember Mickey Mouse ice cream bars. Yum.
The ice cream truck
The Mister Softee ice cream truck came every evening. You could hear his bell dinging wayyyy before he got to our street. On special occasions (i.e., daddy's payday) we were allowed to go a sundae or milkshake or rootbeer float. I read in the paper just the other day that the man who started Mister Softee recently died.
We saw an ice cream truck the other day (sm)
and my daughter was so excited. But I told her I doubt it if it would come up where we live because there is too much of a spread between houses. We saw it going through a housing development. Which makes sense, but was a disappointment for my daughter (and me!!!!). I remember playing outside and hearing the music way in the distance. I would run to get dimes from my Mom or Dad. That is a VERY pleasant memory. Thanks to OP for starting this topic. 
We have an ice cream truck come through
our neighborhood every day. They have all the good stuff from the good ol' days!
good job! watch out for the truck
being in your name because whatever he does will come back on you so if he crashes and hurts someone, they can come after you. my x took all the keys so I had another set made and they didn't work so I reported it stolen and let the cops get it from him. (the car was only in my name) plus it adds to your paper trail that you're going to need to keep yourself protected.
don't you feel better all ready! 
good luck to you!! Do something about that truck..you are responsible for any damages unless you
it taken without permission (different than stolen).
I liked it!! good to see positive humor! ..nm

Specifically the Good Humor
ice creams bars with the chocolate candy surprise inside! Do they still make them? I may have to chase down an ice cream truck. Oh, do they still make THEM? LOL!
Good thing you got a sense of humor about it.

Don't use cream of,,,,,,,
Instead of creamy mushroom soup, try the Golden Mushroom soup. I think that is what it is called. It is the dark mushroom soup. Gives a sauce with more depth and flavor. Anymore, I never use the cream of,,,,, alway use the goldren.
cream
I would recommend Oil of Olay. My mom uses it and it has done wonders for her skin. She uses the serum and night cream.
Truck driving
My friend and her husband drove as a "team" before he passed away. She said it isn't as easy as it looks-- especially if you are a woman. She said she had to back the trailers into the loading docks and all the "macho men" would just stand there and stare at her-- apparently they are too "manly" to have their jobs taken by women. Anyway, she said the driving part was fun, but the company monitors you every second via some kind of tracking device and it isn't like I thought-- that you could stop in various parts of the country, etc. There is a lot of technical stuff you have to know about the truck, maintenance, etc., as well. She said she wouldn't do it again.
progesterone cream!!!!!!
;
truck type
Don't have direct experience but my husband trucks and am familiar with the concepts. This is an intriguing scenario so hope you don't mind if I speculate a bit.
A few questions for you. By partnership, do you mean you intend to drive, as in split equal driving hours with him? What kinds of distances are involved...state/regional or interstate? You talking lap top type on internet based platform or what (i.e., method of report transmission)?
Certainly, RV is not the same as OTR. I think your main issue would be internet access while in motion. You want to type PT or drive PT or what?
I liked the progesterone cream, only
read a warning California--(by the way, why do they get to have more warning labels than anywhere else--just noticed that) where they listed something in progesterone creams that is a carcinogen, but please check that out. I was using it and stopped because of that, but I thought the cream was working great on all my symptoms.
then I switched to the wild yam, which you can buy at any health food store, and it works a little differently. you can find all the info on the net (way too long here, sorry).
I hardly have hot/cold flashes anymore. I use a combination of taking 1 Vitex (chasteberry) and 1 to 2 evening oil of primrose each day. was also taking Don Quai, but stopped for a break because it is recommended.
something to keep in mind as well I read the hot/cold flashes and nightsweats are USUSALLY temporary, like mostly just in the beginning and will most likely go away, or at least diminish.
Suzanne Somers has some great info on this, if you purchase her book, which is probably a good investment as she has thoroughly investigated the subject. She is almost 60, and claims even to get a regular period. even tells you how you can lose weight. she is amazing, only I just do not have the kind of money for her products. I listen and get bits of information, then have to put together things I can afford, haha.
do you have people you can ask at the health food store you go to?
I am NOT sure how this all works with having had a TAH/BSO.
wish you the best...
Bono and vanilla ice cream.
He can wish for me and Guiness and we'd be set. 
Did you just fall off the turnip truck?
Of course it's a scam. Grow up.
Yes, but only if tells me to sleep all day or eat ice cream.

or the denture cream, walker AND sm
hearing aid! Good grief!
Leased a truck for four years. At the
end of that time, purchased the truck because we had put so many miles on it, and they financed for another FIVE years to keep the payments about the same. Won't try that again!!!!!!!!!!!!
I call it Mack Truck Flu.
Feels like you've been run over with a Mack truck! Glad U are feeling almost within normal limits.
I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top!!
Okay interested parties! I'm experiencing some turbulence, but I think I'll be alright. HE has no where to go. No one wants to help him out. He is trying to move back to his hometown, but even his family has turned him away. It's not a nice feeling to have no one to fall back on. He was soooo confident that he'd have a place to live. He is really upset right now because he says I didn't try and I am going to be really happy now without him. Ummmm, yes.  That's what the plan is. He says I didn't try to save the marriage. Pfffft! That's all I've done. It's difficult to be nice to someone who is so terrible to be around. I have done all I can do. My sympathy for him is running very very thin, just like my patience. I am going to swallow my pride and beg for help from everyone. I'm networking. That's all I can do. I am from Illinois so I if anyone out there has information to give I'd appreciate it. He's trying to drag me down, but I won't let him. I've come too far to go back now. Be proud of me, it's okay, I won't disappoint. I can't....
Noritate cream which is once a day application...
I take Tetracycline 500 mg twice a week and was put on a cream that had to be applied twice a day. That was impossible for me!! So, my family doctor told me about a cream, Noritate which is applied once a day. The tetracycline is good for breakouts, but I don't have to take it every day. The cream can be put on once a day, at night. So this works out pretty well for me. Good luck!!
correct on cream it is Vanicream.
Sorry but truck driving is going south also
Also had hubby as truck driver, as well as done team driving --the rates there are going down as many are coming over the borders and able to drive for less. So that profession has dropped 50% as well or at least held its own over the past ten years which is not a progression at all. Even owner-operators are seeing a decline. So it is hitting everywhere.
Milk, Cream and Alcohol...
Oh, that's too funny with the doc prescribing a cycle of beer! There's an old blues song with the lyrics "Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol." Maybe it's the same doc!
Back the turnip truck up!
You are working full-time with demands of 1,200 lines a day and only making $16,000.00 a year. You'd better find another job. What part of the Earth do you live? My goodness, clerks make more than that. You may want to try becoming a file clerk as you'd probably make more and it certainly would be less stressful! Take care!
My husband used to drive a truck and
back in 1970s, he made $1 a mile and above. He got out when the rates went down, when the government starting forcing truckers to drive only so many miles a day, and when the companies wanted you to drive over and above the so-called allowable mileage and if you got caught, YOU paid, not the company. Then there was the cross-country in 3 days deal....then, 'Hm-m-m, he could do it in 3 days, let's push a little harder to see if he can cut his time down more." 
Bet you're hubby never makes $1 a mile or above now, especially with the high fuel costs and maintenance of the truck unless he is Haz-Mat or in a specialized field.
Oh, BTW, they are bringing back the railroads because "it's too expensive to truck the goods anymore." It's the old "dange" if you do, and "dange" if you don't type of deal.
Oh, wait! Could this be just like transcription?
Yeah, must have fallen off the turnip truck.
After paying on my truck and house for a year I can
refinance and get an interest rate that is close to someone who has never filed bankruptcy before. So, the high interest rate won't be there forever and at least I will have assets rather than renting or not having a car at all. So, bankruptcy in my case was the best option.
I'd think it would be long-haul truck driver or
long haul truck driver, depending on account specs and whether or not they use hyphens.
Congrats and while you are at it, report your truck stolen by him.

I have the truck! Forgot that important tidbit!
The police asked him to relinquish it. Ta Da !!!
Maybe a taco bar with an ice cream sundae bar for dessert? nm

I think you see the humor
or you wouldn't want to keep communicating with me. I think you love it!
Camaros..three 1994, 1998, and 1999 and a truck,
Chevy truck 2005
My hubby drives a long distance truck
thank goodness! He says the trucking business in dire need of truckers. Bet we don’t see folks punching those in.
Sense of humor.
I have been in the same situation with doctors not spelling out names, etc. I have just quit a national company and have been wondering what to do next. When I read these postings today, I could not help but laugh. Keep your sense of humor as it helps the rest of us get through our days too.
lol.. thank you for adding humor to my otherwise
nm
you need a sense of humor
Get over your bad self. The woman was having fun with a difficult situation - most psychologists would say that is healthy.
As far as your sour attitude - glad you're not in my church.
People whose English language skills are very poor should not be doing jobs where they have to give "Customer support" or "customer service" to English-speaking customer - period. They need to improve their English skills.
If you went to India, do you think they would give you a job speaking in their dialect? Certainly not. They, and most other countries, will not hire foreigners to do jobs that their own citizens are qualified to do. The U.S. is about the only country that does not protect the jobs of its citizens.
Did you have your sense of humor
!
LOL ! Mustang, here you have your humor...nm

Guess it depends on how porous his skin is-- try cold cream maybe? - sm
My kids have done all sorts of stuff, usually the face cleans up except for red in my experience...fades over a week or so. But cold cream is good for make up so maybe it will work, if you don't have any handy maybe a thick moisturizer? Obviously the hands are not an issue since they won't be in the picture, you can always try a liquid make-up if it doesn't come off and if the make up does not look weird. Good luck.....you can always keep him home or arrange for him to do the make-up picture for kids who are sick...they always have a make up picture day...find out when it is and just do it then.
It's a bus, not a truck load of nuclear waste. It's a blue collar job,
s
Again, jealous heads rearing its ugly head. When I said ice cream, sm
I meant I COULD NOT AFFORD TO BUY SQUAT for them. Give me a break. I am not going to Angel Ministries or anything else. And, you have NO idea how much I actually paid for my SUV. There are mini vans out there that take a lot more gas than my SUV!
try OTC cortisone anti-itch or Gold Bond cream first?
nm
We got that point the first day on the job. People still need a little humor
not new, just jokin' ....get a sense of humor
Very funny, I have a sense of humor. nm

*humor* at the expense of one's sexuality &.NM
Because "Jasper" has a sense of humor
And chooses to take this in stride rather than engaging in the usual 'chicken little' antics usually engaged in on these forums, you choose to construe from that that he/she was an inferior employee?
Now I'M laughing...how very presumptious of you!!!
