    Seriously, so you want to be in love again...

    There's so much wisdom shared on this thread. Thanks for all your perspectives. Yes, I am happily singly nowadays. whenever I look back at my "record", I'm often surprised that I've been with plenty of women. Many of them just friends and did not develop into anything more than that. Of my...

    Reconnecting!

    Hello and greetings to all! Old member but I haven't been on in a long while. I used to be more active when I lived part time in my old Great White. Sold it 5 years ago and moved to Asia to be my parents' caregiver. I continue to wander about, not just driving but also visiting other Asian...

    Anybody tried a milk-crate bed?

    I have. It was very comfy. It was 10 plastic crates from hobby lobby, I long ply board on top and then a futon foam.

    Made my last rent payment today

    Congrats and good luck! I remember when I paid my last month in rent. I also moved straight into my vehicle afterwards. I had one full day to finalize my living conditions. That night, I slept in the van for the very first time...

    Lucky to be Mobile when storm comes

    One of the first things i thought about when the typhoon came was how lucky are the van dwellers. Anyone have those thoughts? As the typhoon was raging i was thinking about that. Everyone with a rolling home just up and drove out of state. No loss. No damage. Anyone here excaped Houston?

    Am I the only one that misses standing up?

    You are not alone, Peacetara. When I lived in Maui (aka Great White), I really missed being able to stand. I managed to last 10 months altogether. It wasn't bad although I often wonder how I would manage if I really had to use the porta potty in that cramped space. I always had it ready with the...

    Sushi rolls

    Yep. :) Avocado, cucumber and mango make one good combination with cooked rice wrapped in dried seaweed. My current favorite is using the precut seaweed which is on my pictures here: http://rodwanderer.blogspot.com/2014/08/instant-sushi.html You can see the wrapper right there. Good to hear...

    Sushi rolls

    The sashimi grade tuna is particularly yummy when combined with soy sauce, a bit of wasabi or horseradish and a sprinkle of red spice. But that's just me. I have some with my sushi, but it's not needed. Usually, our grocery stores are stocked with sashimi grade tuna. The best tuna should not...

    Sushi rolls

    Thanks, Guy! I've been making this dish so often these days. OH, I also forgot that I make miso soup out of the instant miso packets that can be prepared with just hot water. You can go all veg on it or even use tuna in a can. In the rare occasions I use tuna in a can, I prep the tuna first by...

    Sushi rolls

    Hello! Haven't been here in a while. But I thought I'd share this little recipe. The only cooking involved is with the rice. (seasoned with a sprinkle of rice wine vinegar) Assemble the hand rolls by putting on the rice on the snack size seaweed snack squares. Then you can put on toppings...

    Road Traveled

    Indeed, Lucky Mike. I often wonder what my life would be if I hadn't stumbled upon this site and others... and got me thinking about this alternative lifestyle. It's like finding a treasure, to be honest. like waking up literally and seeing the matrix for what it is. a bunch of numbers and...

    $340 monthly food stamps

    It is a privilege to get food supplements. We are all in the same boat and we really ought to be each other's keeper. I'm always grateful I don't need any. But you would not guess it from what I make. Annually, I actually make less than a McDonald's employee. But then again, I live in the...
