    Peanut Butter and Jelly

    We eat a LOT of pb. &nbsp;Just an FYI - Adams and Laura Scudder are all made by Smuckers. &nbsp;I actually called Smuckers one time about Adams. &nbsp;The difference between the three items is the darkness of the roast. &nbsp;Smuckers is darkest, Laura Scudder is next and Adams is lightest...

    Opinion on a Van

    82k on an ice cream truck. &nbsp;That means a LOT of idling and low rpms. &nbsp;Not good for a diesel. &nbsp;Missing out on it may be a blessing in disguise. &nbsp;Diesel repairs are expen$ive.<br><br>Good luck - you'll find something.

    Hi Everyone

    Welcome Rob! &nbsp;I looked up the definition of a derelict. &nbsp;It says "A person without a home, job, or property". &nbsp;Sounds pretty good to me! &nbsp;The only problem I see is that if you get a van you will have a home and property, so I guess you won't qualify&nbsp;<img...

    Conserving letters

    It's off beat enough to trigger thoughts of spam. &nbsp;I interpret it as they are just having fun asking if you recycle used digital letters (characters) or just throw them away.<br><br>Thinking green digitally - cool!<img src="/images/boards/smilies/wink.gif" class="emoticon bbc_img">

    Arg, grr. Could use some advice from sages.

    Welcome to the forum. &nbsp;Sorry to hear of the troubles but I can relate. &nbsp;As to the truck trailer combo. &nbsp;Could work real good. &nbsp;One suggestion tho - find the trailer and then get the truck. &nbsp;If you get the truck first you may be limiting yourselves in the trailer...

    anybody living in travel trailers with no truck to haul them?

    One more thing I forgot to mention: &nbsp; Most parks have their long term spots metered for electricity. &nbsp;That cost is <em>in addition</em> to the cost of renting the site.<br><br>In Austin, the park had to charge the same amount as the electric company. &nbsp;They are not power companies...

    anybody living in travel trailers with no truck to haul them?

    We lived in a commercial campground in Austin, TX for four years before we retired and hit the road. &nbsp;You can ask any park for a tour. &nbsp;They do it all the time. &nbsp;Also ask about the electricity - do they have 30 and 50 amps? &nbsp;Ask if there are any issues with water or sewer...
