Hi, Nomadic Notion! I don't know if you have found a solution to your original question, but I too, often urinate while going number 2. I'm wondering if it would work to sorta scoot to the edge of the 5 gallon bucket or whatever you are using and then hold a wide mouth container under the...

Thanks for your response! If I understand you correctly, it depends on how much power I'm going to need as to how much battery and solar I need and which options are best. I use a cpap machine to sleep so it's very important that I have enough juice so that I can sleep/ breathe through the...

I saw a post about one's eyes going criss-crossregarding solar setup..well I need to take a step back to the basics of deep cell batteries first being being set up because that's required before the solar I think if I've underrood correctly. Anyone have suggestions on books that teach about...

I've never been a fan of shaving my legs...not uncommon for me to go months without shaving legs and as it turns out I really don't have much hair on my legs, but even if I dud I'd be fine going 'o natural'. Even my underarms I'd like to give up shaving, except that I sweat a lot and deodorant...

Thanks Train Chaser, it feels great to be part of the club! :-) Most of my Co-workers have been trying to force me out the door for some time now...surprisingly I just got a temporary promotion until someone else is hired FT for the position. I don't want now and I didn't want it 2 1/2...

Cheli, I hope to see you on the road some day soon too! I'm looking for my people, my tribe...I so desire this!!!

Thanks, Cheli! And you're a Michele with one "L" too...we are a rare breed! ;-) Yes, I CAN do this. I am feeling more hopeful over the past few months than I have felt in a very long time. I'm gaining confidence in myself and in my ability to dare to take the road less traveled....

Yes, Goshawk this does make sense as encouragement! Thank you for pointing out BIG EVENTS. I had been wondering what the biggest expense on a vehicle might be, I had assumed it would be the engine blowing up and hadn't a clue the cost of repairs but figured it was big. That helps me when...

Stevesway, thanks for the link...great questions for me to ponder so I can evaluate what's really important and what's not essential. Thank you!

Yogidog, I'm soooo going to start packing! Love that about old ladies doing whatever the heck they want...this mid age woman is right there with them!!!! I do think I'm ready for this and I will pm you about SSDI..thank you!

Thanks wagoneer, very succinctly put! Keep it simple, earn less money, spend less money. And you hit the nail on the head...I want to spend every waking minute planning my escape from this prison

The question marks were supposed to be hearts!

Wow, thank you Bob. I couldn't agree more. I just woke up with a pounding headache from tossing and turning last night and your message and words of advice have been a gift. I am so grateful for your wisdom and validation and look forward to meeting you in person. I plan to respond more on...

OMG yogidog!  I am so glad you did. :heart: :heart: :heart:   I totally get it about not telling people that I am a social worker.  I usually don't but lately I've had a why the heck not mindset and here I am take it or leave it.  I'm so tired of the facades.   I work in a toxic environment and...

Cyndi, I'm so glad you were able to turn a difficult situation into a positive one and into a life you enjoy!

Train chaser, you bring up some interesting points. Running away certainly isn't going solve anything. I've never been one to run away, rather, I am one who steadfastly works harder and harder to improve my life. I'm a believer in counseling and have done quite a bit self exploration. Many...

Almost there, what a wonderful life experience!!! Yes, there is so much to see and I agree whenever I have traveled as a single person I have made friends with fellow travelers and never regretted one experience!

Oh yes, vehicle maintenance and repairs concern me financially and also safety wise, but I think I saw a video on a device that can track you when stranded even without cell phone service?

Thanks yogi dog! !!! Ahhhh....crisis worker...I did that for a while. I'm a social worker and definitely know all about burnout! I'm burnt out and working on my exit plan....sadly I've been burnt out for some time, but I've kept pushing myself past the point of healthy. Now that I've got...
