Just a thought. You might want to find someone that knows how to cook for a diabetic person and able to drive an RV and knows the ins and outs of working on an RV.

Gone with the Wynn's has a YouTube video on getting dental work done. You can find it by searching YouTube "Gone with the Wynn's dental". They videoed the entire visit to Mexico and the dental appointment.

I use to fill propane tanks. 1) If they aren't using a scale don't even bother going there. There is no other way for them to know if they filled it up too far because they don't know what's left for gas in the tank before filling it. 2) The industry standard for how far to fill a tank is 80%...

As an older guy who has thought about the subject of when to call it quits I have to agree fully with Queen. In fact my intention is to enjoy the time I have until I feel it's time to go. I've thought about how I would euthanize myself and frankly my plan is to use the exit bag and helium route...

Has anyone ever tried using one of those flat oil change containers? I always thought how it can sit atop a van without ever being noticed and that the flat profile would create a greater surface to volume ratio making the water heat up faster. I'm thinking about a set up where if a hose and...

I've thought about how handy it would be to have a way for people to help each other out by sharing information as well as the ability to team up in order to get jobs that call for more than one person...

Amazon: when is the latest one can apply and what the usual rate of pay is? Beet Harvest: same as above plus is their work more difficult than Amazon? I've noticed a lot of jobs that ask for couples. I'm wondering if there has been any way you know of to team up with a second person? For...

Depending on what the truck is actually worth it might be less trouble and expense to buy a used toad that can be towed 4 down without modifying the hell out of it. It would give you the opportunity to lighten the load by buying a small vehicle and going 4 down won't eat up your payload on the...

Thanks for all the good advice. I've worked hard all my life so I never thought I'd be filing for disability hence I really don't know much about it. The education thing really made me worry and I was finding it ironic in a way. I had to fully support myself and pay full tuition right from...

Thank you for your replies. I also found I have one thing going against me but also one thing in my favor. The good is I'm older than 55 considered near retirement age. The bad is I have a college degree. Any thoughts on the weight of having a degree vs the weight of being over 55?

A number of years ago I fractured my spine, wrist and ankle. It  was somewhat gruesome because my foot became totally detached skeletally speaking. The person I was with lost it so much I had to take the phone and call the ambulance myself then rotate the foot back to normal so as to calm the...

The General will quote you online and you can remain anonymous. I tried them and their prices were very reasonable. Allstate was my carrier many years ago. I left them because I heard they cancel you after one accident. Then of course when you have to answer yes to the question were you ever...

First, Verizon and any other companies are not supposed to charge a single red cent for using the hotspo feature on your phone. They were in the past but the courts ruled it was double billing for the service. However, if you stream video then your data usage skyrockets and BAM 600 bucks...

Maxine: You'll find the US to be a vast country to explore. It's a great idea to go to the RTR right away and get a really good understanding of what could be ahead. 2 people I knew from Europe benefited from hanging around with us. We were able to give them a lot of good info and ideas. Hope...

Although it is wise to know the law and your rights it is even wiser to avoid conflict of any type when dealing with a LEO. The best outcome from interacting with LEO is being allowed to go on your way without getting arrested. Many I have interacted with haven't been that nice at all with a few...

If stealth is priority one then forget the RV idea. Personally I think blending in prevents trouble before it can even begin. For one person I would say a van should do fine especially if you set the interior up right for your needs. Besides, an RV requires you to tinker with plumbing...

I hope everything works out well for you. This has been a very interesting thread to read. I believe you will find the downsizing to be a relief, the more stuff you have the more work and responsibility. I always ask myself before buying or acquiring if it is a need or a want...it stops me...

Thank you Bob. I'm planning ahead for this winter and further in the future. I appreciate your offer of help. I'm planning on eventually getting out to the southwest/west so if you won't mind I would like to take you up on your help in the future. I like the remoteness and unplugged nature of...

I agree with Bob on getting the truck. Getting the super crew cab is nice and roomy. With heavy tint Windows and the 60/40 split seats you can have a very comfortable and multi-use living area in the back. There are other advantages such as the smells from cooking, old laundry hanging around...

I'm like the spicy Indian food. If you have the opportunity to try Thai food that's really good too.
