    Security for RV Travelers?!!

    Morgan:  You're a senior citizen, right?  Heck, you and I can kick just about anywhere, anytime without any help from anyone.  There's no security for us.  Sure, we can carry pistols, shotguns, get Doberman pincers, rig all manner of security devices.  But the real issue...

    Pipeline gate guard jobs for singles

    Ballenxj: I did lot more reading about this on various blogs and eventually decided the dust, bad roads and other factors just reduced it down to not being worth it.  Maybe newer RVs than mine would do okay, but I'm needing no extra wear-and-tear on this one.  Good luck to you.  jack

    <P> <BR><BR>Bob:&nbsp; If you're sure it's not true, as you've said, it's not clear why you made the observation relating what you conclude about the motives of others in this context.&nbsp; <BR><BR>The truth is whenever I post here my words are picked apart, examined through a microscope and...

    The cat's out of the bag

    <STRONG>Suanne:</STRONG> Mostly inadvertent, though I appreciate the thought. Around the time rock and roll was born I got thrown out of a school dance, accused of doing something called 'the dirty bop'.&nbsp; Severely admonished to clean up my act.&nbsp; But I'd never heard of the dirty bop...

    The cat's out of the bag

    Someone posted somewhere on a thread several days ago [I paraphrase]<BR><BR>"If someone says it's hurtful, it's hurtful.&nbsp; The person who says it doesn't get to say what's hurtful and what isn't."<BR><BR>I pondered that a while, shaking my head.&nbsp; Hurtful's a fairly new word to me.&nbsp...

    The cat's out of the bag

    Windy:&nbsp; One of the blessings these two older cats and a couple of others I had around the time these came into my life brought with them was a gradual growth of self-doubt, circumspection and restraint in dealing with them.&nbsp; It's one of the ways they've paid for all the trouble they've...

    <P>Angeli:&nbsp; I have no argument with RV Kitty.&nbsp; RV Kitty has an argument with me, and the way my cats and I choose to live.&nbsp; <BR><BR>Extremism rears its head when a person asserts a judgemental viewpoint regarding the behaviors of others if the viewpoint doesn't involve a...

    Pipeline gate guard jobs for singles

    Kevin:&nbsp; Probably no two sites are alike, no two companies, no two sets of circumstances.&nbsp; As for this particular one, it's not for singles, possibly because one's needed to go to town, etc.&nbsp; But my impression is the pipeline jobs are a bit different in a number of ways, and they...

    Gender-based rooms

    yesican:&nbsp; Assuming my post on the Rest Stop thread is the one you referred to, the way you've described it is untrue, and the reasons for deletion aren't the ones Kate gave prior to deleting it.&nbsp; She deleted a series of posts concerning a video taken by a passive camera by Santa Fe...

    The cat's out of the bag

    The pet owners who post here appear to be responsible people of conscience, searching&nbsp;for ways to deal with parallel issues of travel and the well-being of the animals they share their lives with.&nbsp; If I hadn't had contracts with these I'd have been away from this place long ago.&nbsp...
