    get your art on

    SinnTek I think your work is really fabulous and very skilled.  If I can suggest, as a 'fine artist' I've been to many many farmer's markets, craft fairs, art shows, etc and have had sold there.  You can see some of my more commercial, less realist, work here: ...

    FOR WOMEN ONLY: Do you 'poo

    If anyone is interested, you can make a tea of Nettle and Rosemary to help your scalp and thicken your hair. It would go well with either the baking soda or no poo method. You know, just find some herb, both of these are easily found fresh. if not, any health food store should have them, they...

    Kerosene heaters?

    The only thing I can add to all the good info above, is that you need to be vigilant about the kerosene you are getting. Sometimes you can pay for K-1 quality, and receive a lower grade. Even at Walmart, sometimes you just don't get what you pay for. If you burn K-1 quality kerosene, and your...

    Kerosene heaters?

    I've used kerosene heaters and oil lamps for years. Crack your window just a little bit (like 1/2 inch or so) and that helps maintain a good oxygen balance. I've never had problems with odor when I use K1 grade kerosene. The only time I had a problem was when my other half thought he'd get a...

    Groovy Traditional Van Site

    Papa, if you let your cursor hover over the image on the splash page, a drop down box with departments will popup. If you click on Magazine, it will take you to your 'stories'. Wear gloves.

    Groovy Traditional Van Site

    OK, I knew when I saw the article titled 'how to get a girl to take her shirt off...' and the subject classes of 'dirty stories' and 'pics of your friend's mom' that this probably was not my magazine. I'll leave it to you little boys. Teenagers! Can't live with 'em.... LOL!!

    dealing with the flu in tight quarters.

    If you have already got the flu, and cannot chew garlic, slice a clove very thin and dip the slices in oil. Put the oil drenched slices on your body. Really. It will be absorbed thru your skin. Between your toes at night, under your breasts, armpits, etc. Anywhere a fold of skin will keep...

    1989 Dodge B150 Shorty

    steamjam, I really like the economy of space here. It's simple and very functional. Really good job. Personally, I'd need a porta, but everyone to their own. My Dodge is a shorty as well, but a cargo van. So I very much appreciate seeing what you've done. I'm six months in and now that...

    Easy stealth camping city

    Is stealth generally easy in Navada? Last time I went thru Reno, they were pretty rabid about not allowing overnight parking anywhere.

    dealing with the flu in tight quarters.

    Just a comment on the Hydrogen Peroxide for gargling. I wouldn't. It's great for ears, and you can stop a sore throat by simply rinsing the ears with it. But if you swallow enough, it will make you projectile vomit. Not my idea of fun. :O I use a gently warm cup of water with a couple of...

    The costs of a full year van-dwelling

    Dammit Van-Tramp! Now I have yet another new year's resolution. Yet another thing to keep track of. Actually I've been afraid to track my spending, but I do think it is essential. Last time I did it, I was able to get out of debt entirely. Need to do it again, as my money tree has a...

    My Dad died this morning

    Brad, I'm so sorry that you lost your Dad. But from your post, it does sound as if passing was an end to pain for him. We never are ready for it, are we? My thoughts and prayers are with you in this season. Best, Marie Angeli

    Insulating a Cargo Van

    Yeah, I found it. Now feeling like a complete dimwit.

    Insulating a Cargo Van

    Patrick, That is such an absolutely excellent idea! I'm off to Home Depot! I'm also thinking that black trashbags might work as a vapor barrier between the metal and the styrofoam. Ya think? PS - Who did you ask to get your Post Freak name changed to Visionary? Or is there a way to do it...

    The Violent Cop Knock

    Owl, read back thru the posts. Niall is the poor person who got harassed. Indigo asked if skin color was a factor based on the fact that Niall was in a car, not a van, and was easily seen without window tinting, etc. As a Floridian parked and living a few hours north of Orlando, I can easily...

    dealing with the flu in tight quarters.

    Hi Hippiechk, Sounds like you've got a good handle on it! A good dose of garlic will cure most things, including infestations of people! LOL!! I don't drink either, but a friend used to tell me she'd take a bottle of Jack to bed on those nites! Lots of quilts and sweat it out. For me, I...

    City Vandwelling Guide Needed

    Hi Citytravelphotos, I'm late to the discussion, but that's nothing new. I'm also a CA native born and raised. Los Angeles raised to be exact. I loved it. I miss it terribly, and if I could raise the funds to get there, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Sadly, my fifth generation LA family...
