I don't even do that when we have hookups. Too many years living in areas with high water bills and constant reminders via public service announcements to save water.

One thing I have noticed is that you really appreciate every drop of water if you have to schlep it.

We carry the bags in a bucket for support. The bags don't last forever, but they are a lot easier to store than jugs.

OMG! You mean there are actually people who are allowed to sleep in until 7:30 on moving datly because they don't plan to be on the road until 9:00 am?!?

For the experienced, this might be in the "DUH, You Idiot" file.  We have a couple one gallon jugs and 2 1/2 gallon ziplocks. Any time we stop at a rest stop or for fuel, we look around for potable water faucets, even if we are not low. A couple trips to the faucet tops off our tank and gives...

DH likes to drive. He enjoys it. He would live on caffeine and drive 24/7 if he could.

I am not the one driving. DH is. The old him would have tried to push thru without stopping for anything but bathroom breaks. The new DH is willing to keep it down to 300-400 mile legs. I would like to go much slower than that, but I will take any concession I can get.

Headed west, away from Tick City ... I mean Park City, Kentucky. You won't find a more beautiful state, but the ticks are brutal after 2 mild winters. Anyway, on-the-road means sitting on my butt 6 to 8 hours a day, and SNACKING. Not talking apple slices and celery sticks, either. Talking about...

I don't think the tragedy of Delores's life was that she had to work. I think it was that she did not want to work, but had put herself in that position with decades of bad decisions.

We generally get older "used" dogs, too. They usually come housebroken and with their characters formed, so you can see if they will fit your lifestyle. Our lives seem to change every 5 years or so. So, with adopting old dogs that suited wherever we presently were, we were usually in need of a...

If it is robbing banks, you just stop it and get a job. If it is buying expensive thongs, you start making yourself throw somethong away (and I mean TRASH) for every new thing you buy.

We have a dog, but will not replace him when he is gone. Sometimes, he is a joy. A lot of times, he is a pain. This is not his fault. He is pretty well behaved. BUT, there is no sleeping in in the morning. He has to go out, and we no longer have a doggie door. We have missed outings or had to...

Google - the research resource of the gods.

We just came from an area where ticks were a plague. Dog has Lyme disease "bull's eye." We will be seeing the vet for antibiotics and a vaccination. There used to be an effective, safe vaccine for humans in the '90's, too, until the conspiracy wackos and their lawyers drove it out of production...

Sounds great, but I can't wear shorts cut for a man. I need a women's cut with a smaller waist.
