Eh... I knew I didn't have it right. Here's the machines specifications, if that helps at all? The manual says not to use DC (plug into cigarette lighter thing) unless the car is running. Obviously I don't want to run the car for 8 hours at night for both noise ordinance and wasting gas!

I'm going to have my propane tank(s) and generator on one of those trailer hitch cargo baskets. However, I don't want them left out in the open for people to steal. But I've heard that propane tanks aren't supposed to be kept enclosed, and a generator definitely has to be vented while running...

I suppose I need to learn this stuff too. I have an oxygen machine I need to use at night...so it has to be run from battery power. I can charge the battery during the day with solar. My machine uses 150 watts while turned on. Now...I assume that's 150 watts per hour? And the calculation is...

I is sowwies! But hey, everybody keeps saying they'll give me theirs, but nobody has yet to actually do it! We need to figure out how to invent reverse liposuction! LOL Ironically, I actually could live on a normal diet. My favorite snack is green bell peppers cut into strips, or sugar snap...

I've gained 3 pounds! YAY! Having that Boost formula really helped. I'm still trying to eat a little more at each meal every day, but don't want to over do it. I tried eating 600 calories for lunch once, and nearly ended up losing it 10 minutes later. No point in stuffing myself silly if it's...

I talked to my nurse yesterday, and after having LOST another 1.5 lbs, even with eating every 2 hours (sometimes stuffing myself to the point of nausea), I asked her if it could be something other than my clunky ticker. I've heard that cancers inside the body (that don't have lumps or anything...

If only they sold Haagan Dasz by the gallon... that stuff is 300 calories per serving! :) (and tastes better too)

Haha! Yes! Every winter I think I'm going to end up making an explosion, because I can see all those blue mini lightnings when I toss and turn in bed! But hasn't happened yet... Or when the cats walk around on the bed, and then come touch their noses to my cheek - ZAP!....gosh, I hate when they...

The only muscle I'm worried about right now, is my heart. It's the reason I need to gain... I've lost 15 pounds in the last 18 months, 5 of those since this July. My heart failure has suddenly gotten worse, and the poor clunky ticker is struggling. My doctor says I am using 2 to 3 times more...

ET scared me. But not as bad as Wizard of Oz! (another book that was kinda "meh, dunno why this was a classic")

Ugh, I read that book, since I liked all the movies AND it's a classic. I figured "hey, it should be great" and I actually like thick books.... NO! BORING!!! It was probably 60% politics, 35% architecture descriptions, and Quasimodo was on maybe a dozen pages in a 200+ page book. This is...

I am under doctor order to gain 5 pounds by the end of October. (and probably another 5 pounds by Thanksgiving, then another 5 by Christmas...ugh!) I need to eat 350-500 calories every 2 hours. I do okay with the main meals - breakfast, lunch, dinner - but kind of struggling with the inbetween...

If you want a van to live in (or even sleep in for vacation or camping trips), I would suggest NOT getting a mini van, like the first one you posted. You will want a full sized van... one that typically carries 10 passengers, or a cargo van. Something BIG and roomy! Yes that might cost a little...

Too late! LOL. I've sat by fires plenty of times. The machine itself is kept well away, at least 25 feet. But if I'm wearing the tubes, I have sat as close as 3 feet to a fire with no problem. These have all bee "contained" fires, in fireplaces. Haven't sat out by an open campfire, because I...

Howdy! Depending on how far you want to travel from Happy Valley, there's an awesome mechanic up in Layton. He only charges $20-$40 labor, and you buy the parts and other stuff like oil or whatever fluids. Most dealerships or auto shops charge $90+ an hour and always get the name brand parts...
