Indigent care in Colorado only exists for the totally....well, indigent.Even though I am technically below poverty level, and receive widow's disability benefits, I couldn't get into an indigent clinic if I broke in the door. No medical insurance either. However, the hospital here will provide...

Where would be the nicest, least expensive place to stay in AZ year round? Sure not fond of summer heat. Will need employment as well for son. I am on disability, and would have to establish residency. This is ironic, because I live in Colorado, and although technically am on disability, I...

Finally got to the end of this thread, (so far). One can of Hormel Beef Tamales, $1.00 plus a slice of good American cheese, heated slowly in a lidded skillet, and topped with lots of finely shredded lettuce. Much less that 2 bucks and very quick and satisfying. Put the cheese slice on toward...

You've all heard the story about impoverished little ol ladies eating cans of cat food. I would go with beans, and/or rice, and cornbread, as a complete protein rather than try to gag down something so disgusting and unhealthy as that...or the aforementioned roadkill, cats, dogs or scavenger...

If you have the ability to cook this up...natural Bone Broth cooked until it forms a gelatine. http://www.healthinducedautism.com/bone-broth.html Or... http://simplybeingwell.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/i-found-the-perfect-bones-and-my-new-favorite-soup-oxtail/#comments This can be heated and...

Even "IF" you found a way to make this deal work, which I really don't believe it's a viable option...I think it would smell just like the old "Destroylette" toilet that my old boyfriend's mom had in her mountain cabin while this monster was cooking the crap. Like you needed a gas mask when you...

Love all the suggestions! There is a deadly and mysterious illness going around, that's killing a lot of folks especially in the southern states, although the mainstream media is not reporting much about it. Because hospitals are one of the most dangerous, germ laden places you can land in, one...

Maybe we'll get this rig totally functional in due time. It's been a 6 month work in progress. I think I need to study more on how the breaker panel functions synergistically with the batteries, (plus a lot of other relevant stuff). I'm too much of one to be figuring out inside issues, cooking...

Hi Guys....yes, apparently the breakers bad. James, the son says he can do the replacement tomorrow safely. But I will be out there with him just in case. The next thing, is that I've been telling him I think at least one of the house batteries is bad and we probably need to replace both of...

I'm not sure what's going on here, (no surprise there)... and neither does my son, who's only minimal RV savvy. We hadn't been running anything too heavy duty, but this morning the breaker tripped when my son was outside using our heat gun to fix the parks frozen water line under their box, (the...

Joe Don, that recipe sounds like Cajun "Dirty Rice" without the rice. When I was a kid, and mama would fry up a chicken as only she could, I would always opt for the gizzard. I just love chicken fried gizzards. It's hard to find them where I live now....kind of like Pimento cheese, it's mostly a...

Because of the cold and flu season affecting people in cold climates due to reduced sun exposure, I stocked in plenty of Vitamin D-3, (2,000 mg per day), and every anti-viral herb or supplement I could find during a 2 day research binge on Google. And yes, Cayenne pepper is on the list as well...

I've checked out many of those RV parks as well. I don't see how folks could go wrong when looking to save some money during the winter months. It sure beats what I'm paying here at the Four Seasons RV park in Salida, CO. The winter rates for the upper campground is $400 plus electricity. By the...

I just found out you can actually bake bread in a Crock Pot. To make it super easy, try using the Rhodes frozen bread or rolls. I tried the frozen cinnamon rolls today. I raised them on the "keep warm" setting, then kicked it up to high until done and browned on the sides. Yummy! Next project...

I really do think a Dutch oven would do the trick. Will keep that in mind when going off shore power, for sure. Then, I might tend to start thinking in terms of solar oven. But guess what? My new found love affair with my thrift shop Hamilton Beach Crock Pot yielded a pleasant new surprise, I...
