    What do you guys think of Clinical Trials as a means to make $$$?

    Sorry to hear that as well CP, the trials I would be&nbsp;participating&nbsp;in would be for healthy volunteers, so my situation may differ a bit from the experiences I've read here. If or when I do finally do one, I'll update this thread with the experience.&nbsp;<div><br></div><div>Simply, if...

    What do you guys think of Clinical Trials as a means to make $$$?

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience Cyndi. My&nbsp;curiosity and the money they pay still have the best of me. At least the one for NASA will be for a good cause - us hopefully one day stepping foot on Mars. It will be great to say I had a small part in that. Plus $17,000 couldn't hurt <img...

    What do you guys think of Clinical Trials as a means to make $$$?

    wow, very sorry to hear that Cyndi. From what I've learned doing research, you should have reported them to the IRB and discontinued the trial. You should be able to quit at any time without having to give a reason, if something like that were to happen.

    What do you guys think of Clinical Trials as a means to make $$$?

    I've been doing massive research online on the subject, which has opened up a whole new world to me. I did not know some people do this full time! I found a guy's site&nbsp;<a href="http://www.jalr.org/frame.html" target="_blank">http://www.jalr.org/frame.html</a>, and a few trials I'd like to...

    Delusional? Seeking perspectives!

    Thanks guys, I put homeless in quotations because I too don't consider it to be homeless. Home is where the heart is, and if that's where your comfortable right in the confines of your own van/car/RV whatever, than who's to say any different. I am really glad I found this community, so glad to...

    Delusional? Seeking perspectives!

    ROFL, I'm actually flossing as I read this o_0 weird lol. Thanks for the input though, the paying for parking per month is a good idea! And I definitely don't plan on sharing my private business with coworkers lol. I just can't wait to be out there doing this already...

    Delusional? Seeking perspectives!

    Hello from America's finest City!

    Thanks guys! @ Cyndi, it's funny what you don't notice, or are oblivious to, until your eyes are opened to things. Last night on the way to the store, I noticed several vans that I always see in certain parking lots that I believe now are van dwellers! There's one on the side parking lot at the...

    Hello from America's finest City!

    4x4 I actually put into the search on here "documentary" and that one came up. I watched it about an hour ago <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" align="absmiddle"> Loved it. &nbsp;Maine was my favorite, when he started talking about being a patriot and how he would fight for...

    Hello from America's finest City!

    Thanks! Glad to be here. It's so crazy, when I get attached to an idea, I become obsessed with it lol I've been doing research on this lifestyle ALL day. I wish there were documentaries on it, so I could learn even more.&nbsp;

    Starting Out in Baltimore

    I'm new here as well but wanted to say welcome! When I was in the Army I was stationed at Ft. Detrick, in Frederick, MD. Partied a lot up in Bmore, and moved to DC, then lived in Alexandria, VA, so that whole area is my old stomping ground. Now I'm out west!
