    I Really did it.

    WRC thanks for the info! &nbsp;<br /><br />The tranny slipping is in the little ford focus, and only in the overdrive. &nbsp;And, oh yes, in my brain. &nbsp;But I really appreciate all the shop info. &nbsp;I did get a tranny flush when I was in CA on the Ford, and that was @ 6 months ago...

    Lola and her legacy

    Lordy, I'm sorry that you had to lose Lola like that. &nbsp;At least she had her time with you, and was able to experience the good life and deliver her puppies safely. &nbsp;<br /><br />Embla looks like she must already have you wound around her tiny paw! &nbsp;Good on you for being so caring...

    I Really did it.

    WEE HEEEEEEE!<br /><br />I'm still somewhere in the stratosphere.<br /><br />Yes, I'm going to start a build thread in the appropriate place, and will have pics up after this weekend. &nbsp;<br /><br />She is now named Josephine, in honor of my great grandmother who was one kick-a$$ woman...

    I Really did it.

    OK, so after 9 months or so of dithering, I went out today and purchased my van. &nbsp;It's not much, but it's what I could afford, and it's mine!<br /><br />'95 Dodge 2500 6 cyl, cargo van, 84000 miles, purchased from the original owner who used it to transport a part-time business. &nbsp;this...

    Showers inside

    Offroad,<br /><br />I think that if you are using hot process soap, i.e. soap made with vegetable oils and organic herbs, vegan soap, then you are safe. &nbsp;If you are using cold process soap, i.e. soap made with animal fats and lye, then using it in an open waterway would be a problem...

    Showers inside

    Mortisha - I just saw your link. &nbsp;OMG - I don't know what is cooler: &nbsp;the collapsable bath, or the happy Lab! &nbsp;What a great dog!!! LOL!<br /><br />I never needed a shower in my OTR rig, but then again, Truck stop showers are free if you're a company driver stopping to buy fuel...

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    A '<em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">problem</span></em>' is when you are living out of a shopping cart and the cops come to roust you for sitting on the wrong sidewalk, impound all your stuff, and then arrest your friend for bringing you a sandwich and a soda.<br /><br />My being...

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    WELL, my friends.&nbsp; If other folks want to have their opinions that is all well and good.&nbsp; if so, then don't tell me what I can say as well, and y'all are just as guilty by telling me to kwitit, which is a euphemism for 'shut up'.&nbsp; <br /><br />I reserve the right to be hurt by what...

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    Bri<br /><br />Glad you are better.&nbsp; Wish you could have said what you did a bit differently, however.<br /><br />Point:&nbsp; Asking a doctor's opinion about what herbs do is like asking a Teabagger about Islam.&nbsp; You already know the kind of response you will get.&nbsp; And with how...

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    Not trying to offend you, Jack.<br /><br />I just have a difficult time with comments that take human life so lightly and, yes, cynically.&nbsp; But each to their own.<br /><br />You are right about the delta of discussion!<br /><br />I've been an Eastern medicine patient since my 20s when I...

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    Hmmmm..... I don't remember casting blame on doctors as persons.&nbsp; My comment that mentioned them referred to our tendency to want others to give us that 'magic pill' and to worship doctors as high priests rather than taking responsibility for our own health.<br /><br />I'm not sure who 'you...

    Un-Vandwelling? Mr. Bob, you have ruined me.

    Hmmm.... well, that explains why I never felt 'at home' in this home in the way I did in my little Scotty.&nbsp; I always felt I was 'borrowing' the place and that I'd be moving on.&nbsp; Oh dear, am I ruined, too?&nbsp; ... 5 months and counting.....<br /><br />Nice post, chevy.

    Curable cancer treatment - no insurance

    IGBT<br /><br />I do not believe that 'big pharma' is evil, nor did I say so.&nbsp; I do however believe that corporations run on their profits, and that is their driving force for survival.&nbsp; If their board of directors do not obtain insane profits, as they have regularly, then their...
