    dealing with the flu in tight quarters.

    From the herbal corner: for influenza the best advice I can offer is Dr. Christopher's favorite - red raspberry leaf tea. Lots of it. And lots of water. Don't get dehydrated. If you have sore throat along with it, a good cup of warm water with a spoonful of salt is a great gargle for that...

    Could a husband & wife live fulltime in a slide in camper on a pickup truck?

    In the late 80's, when my husband and I lived in our cab-over camper on an old Ford, we were shifting residency from CA to NM. We lived in that thing for well over three years with our two dogs. The space never bothered us. After that we were in an apartment for six months or so, but the...

    Ignoring a knock

    I'm not sure how valid some of this advice is. &nbsp;It would certainly be nice if our legal rights were observed, however nowadays that is less likely to happen. &nbsp;I do know for sure that if, in my area of the country, I were standing in front of my van in the middle of the night, in an...

    Ceiling vent and ladder rack question

    Does the white color of the roof interfere with your stealth at all? &nbsp;Or is that an issue for you?<br><br>Thanks for the paint info, I'm now saving pennies for Lowe's!<br><br><br>

    Ceiling vent and ladder rack question

    wrcsixeight - you give good info! &nbsp;Thanks for those notes. &nbsp;And although I'm parked on my own land here for a short time, when I move to CA to be closer to my folks, stealth will be an issue for awhile. &nbsp;Even if I park on their property, it's still illegal to sleep in a vehicle in...

    Ceiling vent and ladder rack question

    wrcsixeight: &nbsp;My van is a '95 Dodge Shorty B2500 cargo van. &nbsp;The only windows are in the driver's and passenger doors. &nbsp;I think I'd rather mount the solar panels on a ladder or roof rack, rather than bolt them into the metal roof. &nbsp;I'm not sure what you mean by 'exposed...

    Florida Gathering

    I'm in the Melrose area, between Gainesville and Palatka, just north of Ocala and a hoot from Hawthorne. &nbsp;I'd love to go to a GTG this fall, as long as it is not too far, since gas prices they say will keep rising! &nbsp;Have been working on Josephine the Van, living in her for almost 2...

    Ceiling vent and ladder rack question

    OK, I'm finally in my van. &nbsp;Whew! &nbsp;FL in the summer in a dark green van (in the shade, thankfully).<br><br>Am putting my pennies away for vent and ladder rack. &nbsp;Gotta do both, IF POSSIBLE, due to need for solar and over-roof shade, as well as a heat releasing...

    My dog HATES traveling, or being in vehicles! What to do?

    Valerian Root is just your basic sedative. &nbsp;Effective in humans, and I've had good luck with my own pooches.<br><br>As for Cesar, you are right. &nbsp;Every dog has his method. &nbsp;however you might want to take a look at this page:<br><br><a...

    Is it paranoid to think someone might want to steal my dog?

    Good luck, rabies. &nbsp;It's a tough issue. &nbsp;Yes pets cost money. &nbsp;$10 per day daycare, $50 per week, $200 per month, and most probably long term or regular user discounts available. &nbsp;Extra dog, same crate, probably same price. &nbsp;Vet insurance per dog in case of emergencies...

    Is it paranoid to think someone might want to steal my dog?

    Hi Katie,<br><br>Thanks for posting the article by Paladin. &nbsp;It does have to be said. &nbsp;Here in rural Florida, I see so many little guys in locked cars in the sun when it is really HOT out. &nbsp;And it is very illegal here to leave them, but people do it because I guess they feel they...

    My dog HATES traveling, or being in vehicles! What to do?

    I don't mean to ruffle any feathers, but as a long term dog owner and rescue volunteer worker, I'd not follow Ceasar Milan's advice for the most part. &nbsp;Any good book on clicker training, or anything from the Monks of New Skete would help with this. &nbsp;I know he is popular, but many dog...

    The cat's out of the bag

    Hi Bob,<br><br>I do agree that passive aggressive words can hurt. &nbsp;It seems to me that your post is an excellent example. &nbsp;I've just been shown that disagreement with powers that be, no matter how much I appreciate them, is followed by smackdown.<br><br>I still believe that Jack's...

    The cat's out of the bag

    Hi Bob,<br><br>You know how much I appreciate you and your work. &nbsp;However, yes a comment can be sexist if made by the gender it denigrates. &nbsp;Just as a comment can be racist if it is made by one of the race is denigrates. &nbsp;Or anti-Semitic even if made by someone of Jewish ancestry...
