Thanks for this article. Another quote that applies is: "We may be afraid of strangers, but it is the most intimate of strangers -- a husband, a lover, a friend -- who is most likely to hurt us. According to a U.S. Justice Department study, two-thirds of violent attacks against women are...

Wow. To me he sounds like a control freak and you were brilliant in extricating yourself quickly, before things got too far. Sorry you are feeling broken hearted but I think you avoided years of grief. Good for you! ~hugs~

Bingo! That is me to a T. Well said.

It's not clear if you want to scan images or documents but I think you want documents, based on the rant about PDFs. :) But if it's photos you want to scan, I just bought the most wonderful little device that is portable and FAST. Takes just a few seconds to scan a photo and if you have a big...

Well now, I've been looking at vans but I'm wondering if I should be looking for a Yukon instead. Looks comfy and cozy.

I recently adopted two rescue kittens and tried a few different brands of litter before I landed on one - Blue Buffalo Naturally Fresh Walnut Based Litter for Cats. It clumps really well and is easy to clean, plus it seems to control odor the best of all of the ones I tried.

Bob has a couple of really good videos on the subject (I just happened to watch them recently):

Welcome Jann! I am almost 60 and I have been having similar thoughts. I am thinking and scheming and I think I will be hitting the road within the next year, two at the most. It's our time now, girlfriend. We may as well enjoy the last half of our lives as much as we can. We've been taking care...

Love it! I remember growing up in northern British Columbia we used the kerosene lamps a lot when the power went out. Which was often back in those days. Thanks for the memories.

My goodness! And here I thought it was going to be a challenge taking two. :)

I hope she finds her way back one day. I'd love to know how this story ends.

Nora, this sounds exactly like what I am going through - but my husband won't sell and he won't go for van travel. I think our days as a couple are numbered. In answer to the OP's question, yes. I used to get away by myself as much as I could, but one day I just had to leave for good. I...

Well hello Dawn! Nice to meet you! Post a link to your blog when you get it going again. I have one as well but it's been way too long since I posted anything of value so I'll wait until I get it going again before I share. Safe travels. Keep us in the loop!

I'm sure you've thought of this but I'll put it out there anyway. Is there anyone in your family you can tell this to? Anyone you could open your heart to and tell them they'll lose you if they don't learn to accept you as you are? Let them know how your heart is breaking? You sound like...

Thanks for the really great update, FibroWarrior! The upside of doing so much repair is that you get to know every square inch of your RV very well. Keep us posted as you travel. Some of us are still dreaming of the transition and I, for one, will be living vicariously through you! :)

Do you think it is different if folks are actually living in their RVs? I imagine you'd have a much smaller footprint and would use much less fuel and electricity, etc., than in a bricks and mortar home. (Speculating here. I haven't actually done the research.)

It has long been a dream of mine to drive the Dempster Highway. I adore the far north!

Man, I sure do miss seeing stars...

I'm sold. This saves me a lot of research. Can I ask which brand you landed on? I imagine there are good and bad 12v refrigerators out there. Thanks for the great post!

Bingo. This is probably the most telling and important thing you've said. I think this is what you need to pay attention to. Hugs from a fellow nomad.
