    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Another thing I would recommend is having night vision cameras installed to monitor the outside of your rig. You can see what's around you in the night and record everything (such as another Vehicle's License Plate Number.)

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Agreed. Many men don't understand what it's like unless they have daughters. When I talk about selling my stuff so I can leave, I have to educate SOME men that I just can't put it on Craigslist and have strangers come to my home. We have to do things differently. (At least we who are...

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Since we're on the subject of sexual assault and safety on the road, here is a real-life experience of a young woman (and her male traveling companion and doberman dog) on youtube: She ran into a CREEP on the road while camping. Life is not all lollipops and sunshine. P.S. This is why I...

    Men Only! Women Keep Out!!!! No Women Allowed!!!

    Just my opinion, but we have to live in our cars and need info on safety, security, etc.

    Men Only! Women Keep Out!!!! No Women Allowed!!!

    Dennis, thank you. Many survivors don't report it, you are very correct.  Statistics say 1/3 are reported, meaning the majority, 2/3, don't get reported.  I really wasn't directing that statement about men punishing us a second time because we shared the rapes to you, and the fact that they...

    Men Only! Women Keep Out!!!! No Women Allowed!!!

    I am copying my post from the Womens' room in case any men didn't read it: Ya know, when the men posted a thread on their prostates on the Mens' forum, I didn't see any women complaining. Why not? Because we can't really relate! We will NEVER have a prostate or the symptoms they cause. So...

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    Ya know, when the men posted a thread on their prostates on the Mens' forum, I didn't see any women complaining. Why not? Because we can't really relate! We will NEVER have a prostate or the symptoms they cause. So that's how I see this thread. Unless you're a man that's been sexually...

    Women Only: Safety on the road - sexual assault

    eoewan,  I'm sorry for you, and all of us, who have had to suffer from sexual assault.  Regarding protecting your son from men, there are female sex abusers too, unfortunately.   :-/

    WOW Camilla. You are such a great writer and have written such a true and heartfelt piece here. I have a lot to say, BUT I just saw this thread and need to catch up and read everyone's comments before I give my comment(s), if I decide to. This subject is very near to my heart, as I see it is...

    Anyone here that can help me A.S.A.P. choose a good van?

    I just called seller. They wouldn't sell him the car in CA so he wouldn't be driving the van here. I would have to fly there. What does anyone think of me asking him to trade my car for the van, since I have to sell it any way and he buys cars? Sorry, but I'm not going to show the van on the...

    NEED 2ND SOLAR PANEL ADVICE

    When the developer of my set up returns, they will email me the controller specs and confirm answers about me adding a 2nd panel, hopefully. The guy on the phone did say they cannot guarantee me using another panel that's not theirs, which I don't understand...

    NEED 2ND SOLAR PANEL ADVICE

    I have one free (pos/neg) slot ready for another panel on the battery. If all panels come like that, then yes, that's exactly what I will need, in fact I have one of those on my current panel! Just need a duplicate. I have nothing to compare mine with so those are called mc4's I'm...

    Generator for AC and heat

    I know you don't want to do daycare for doggie, but maybe put an ad in CL and could you possibly do an exchange for, let's say, yard work, maintenance work, etc. Maybe you could find retirees in the sticks n bricks with good AC who are home all day any way? Just an idea.
