It can be done,I didn't have any for 5 months last summer and actually survived

Now on another note I went this morning and renewed my drivers license and now have a class E 4 wheeler license instead of a class A CDL.I've had a commercial DL for 45 years
Will see if I can survive this,kinda feels like part of my life is missing already

This afternoon could get crazy.

Getting ready to fire a CNC operator for sub standard work and insubordination. This guy has made it known throughout the plant that if fired, he will exact vengeance by "shooting people with the gun that I carry".

Great.

I just came from a real quick meeting and they are talking about calling the sheriff's department before it goes down and have them out here for a stand by. I'm pretty street smart and will keep my spidey senses up.

Good idea about getting the Sheireffs department down there Scott, get your self something as well just incase he might try to get back in another day. You can never tell about people now adays.

I am glad you are calling the sheriff in, even though you are using your spidey senses.

I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D at 60 years old!

A.A.A.D.D . - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder.

This is how it manifests:

I decide to water my garden.

As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my F-350 and decided it needs washing.

As I start toward the barn, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier.

I decide to go through the mail before I wash the truck.

I lay my truck keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full.

So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first.

But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first.

I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only 1 check left.

My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the bottle of beer I'd been drinking.

I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the beer aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The beer is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold.

As I head toward the kitchen with the beer, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water.

I put the beer on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning.

I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers.

I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.

I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers.

I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor.

So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill.

Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do.

At the end of the day:

- The truck isn't washed

- The bills aren't paid

- There is a warm bottle of beer sitting on the counter

- The flowers don't have enough water

- There is still only 1 check in my check book

- I can't find the remote

- I can't find my glasses

- And I don't remember what I did with the truck keys

Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all day, and I'm really tired .

I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail .

Do me a favor. Forward this message to everyone you know, because I don't remember who I've sent it to.
