I met with an attorney that filed an initial claim for SSDI on my behalf. I'm late 50s PTSD, and have injuries from a gruesome accident years ago that have returned to affect my back (one of the fractures was my spine).  I got a call from my attorney because Social Security is asking for a bank...

Without getting into the religious aspects of life after death I look at death as a kind of relief. No more effort is needed to keep life going. As far as fear is concerned for me it would be dying a gruesomely painful death. If I know ahead cancer or some painful disease is in the offing I plan...

Thanks Tom. There are a lot of funny stories about my father. He was extremely intelligent but also quirky too. A good example is whenever I was out of school sick he would drive me to school when I got better. We would sit in the car ad I would have to wait while he crafted a quick limerick to...

I guess what I take away from it all is certain memories are invaluable such as those of friends and family or experiences. It supports the idea that getting out there (as many of the people in this forum have) can be the wisest choice because you're free to do whatever you want to do rather...

I've always thought that there is very little in our lives we can say we will always have except for our memories. There's no words good enough to explain what a wonderful person and father he was. I feel awful but I thank God I'll always have so many great memories of him.

Just putting this out there for anyone who hasn't already heard about jobs with Saco River. YouTube has a video on the jobs posted by Workamping News. The only thing is they want two people teams with an RV but they will consider a single but no campsite. They pay2500/month for a pair (1250 2x...

I vacationed in Bermuda and they all collected water off their roofs. They used limestone on the roof to purify the water as it ran through a series of grooves making its way down to the corners for collection into barrels.

Agree with Cheli get out right away. Park in such a way that you have the most options to leave so not to be blocked in or having to back up blindly. Ideally if you can make the van a spectacle then they should run away pretty quickly. Bright lights to light up the entire area around the van...

Ever think about pairing up with someone going to the RTR? If they have room like in a class C or you don't mind a tent to make room it might work. Kind of a long shot...

Agree that it's not where you die. It also isn't when, how or why but only that it is as quick and painless as possible.

Quit the smoking and you'll save 3000 dollars/year. I smoked for. 36 years at a pack a day and quit cold turkey. Here's a hint to stop that made it possible for me. Get yourself some of those blue tictacs. They are super strong and menthol flavored. When you get the urge just put one of those in...

That's good then. I was in the wire and cable business for years and usually heavy gauge meant big time voltage. The gauge still seems incredibly large though. Even 8 gauge would be plenty.

Why concern yourselves with what others are doing? It's futile since there is nothing you can really do about it. If you're in a position to work enough to get by and not letting work dominate your life then you're probably not making enough to pay any significant taxes that you worry about. Two...

I agree the gauge seems pretty much overkill. The other concern is that if you are running serious power through it you'd better make certain that the wire doesn't heat up. Once you enclose a wire that does create heat then you've also created a fire hazard.

I built a log home using sikaflex in-between the log rows. That's one of the best products around. Logs not only expand and contract but they dry and form checks (cracks) the sikaflex worked perfectly for all the movement it experienced.

I would let it float. Every time you put a screw in its another chance for rust to form. Bolting the furnishings will be plenty enough to keep the floor in place and don't forget that a floating floor adjusts better to temperature swings.

I think the best way to put it is we don't live in the worst country in the world but it still has a lot of room for improvement in order to bring it back to where it once was...the best. There's too many monetized elements warping the political system into a system that works against the...

Wow! After downloading the file my keyboard went berserk! Anyway, I think that spreadsheet is very extensive which I like. There are a lot of items you can shave down quite a bit so you're not burdened with making the money to support it all. My budget is 700/month for example. One of the huge...

As a Red Sox fan that was disappointed for so many years until they finally won the series I'm hoping you Cubs fans finally get the chance to feel what it's like to break the curse and win a series.

Almost There, I do the same exact thing. Then I drain the fresh water tank, hot water heater, and the shower hose. Then put the suction line from the water pump in the antifreeze and run it through the RV. All in no more than 30 minutes and knowing absolutely for sure the plumbing is safe for...
