I'm female, and my son is blond, so since I produced a blond I figure I can make the joke! LOL You're right as to thinking LucyImHome would be male. Funny, it never occurred to me that my "name" is unclear as to my gender. Ah the things that float around in my head......

Well, first off, I am not blond. LOL. So, figured out the problem. I was out of propane! Good grief. In my defense, when I couldn't get the pilot on the water heater to stay lit, I did turn the cook stove burner on to verify I still had propane. It came on. So I guess the water heater needs...

Thanks for the ideas. I'll check the pilot adjustment, then replace the thermocoupler. Hopefully that'll do the trick!

First the A/C craps out. Not that big of a deal, in western WA. Then the furnace, eh..... using a radiator type since I'm in an rv park. But now, the water heater. Ugg.    So, I light it, it lights, but when I turn the dial to on, it goes out.  I've tried googling it, but mostly find reference...

Olympia, WA is about $2.21. It's dropped about .17 in the last 3 days.

I'm still stuck in a mh/rv park, with a non working ac. I bought a tarp type 20' carport to put over my 24' TT. It has helped. I keep the vents open and on. Also floor fans. On the 90+ days, it's still fairly unpleasant, but way better than before the carport. If you're looking for something...

I'm so out of the loop. When I first read the title "Breaking bad fans", I thought that if the fan is bad, why not just throw it away? Why do you need to break it? Did it not fit in the garbage can? Maybe you got peeved at the fan going bad and broke it in a fit of anger? Or maybe it's a...

Areas near military bases are good picking too. If you don't have room to store bigger items, renting a storage unit could be cost effective if you stay in a town for a month at a time.

Suanne pretty well covered it all. I'm in the Olympia WA area, in a trailer/rv park, in an old travel trailer. It hit 95 today. Roof AC is out. I'm using a portable swamp cooler, a high velocity floor fan and a box fan. I also fill the tub with water, to stand in and to dunk tshirts to drape...

If you insulate your cooler, you can get 4-5 days or more out of a couple blocks of ice.

Welcome to the tribe. Good to see another dog professional too. I've been grooming, showing, training, etc for 45 yrs now. Have you looked on craigslist yet? You can find a pretty nice travel trailer for the money you have saved now. My opinion, financing, especially for that large of an amount...

Welcome! First, don't think that the first rv you get will be the "one". Look at all your options, buy something, and learn from it what you like and don't like. So don't drop your life savings into that first one. Seems a lot of folks start out with a big beast because they're coming from a...

Welcome to the tribe! What a great birthday gift to yourself! I too am a groomer. I'd suggest still grooming while you transition with your artwork. If you move into an rv park, you could do the other resident's dogs. In their rv or in your trailer. This is pretty much what my plan is. A...

Maybe try the Capitol Forest west of Olympia? Everyone raves about it. It's big so shouldn't be an issue getting in. 3 hours would open up a lot of eastern WA too. And all along the WA coast. The Olympic peninsula.

Convenience stores and some of the bigger grocery stores have microwaves. At the grocery store, buy something nukeable and take it to the microwave. Canned goods can be heated by setting in the back of the car or on the roof. A bottle of water can be heated the same way, to make instant...

Thinking about it, I don't really feel like I live in any one place. I move according to whatever seems like a good idea at the time. Sometimes, I'll be in one place for a day, sometimes I stay for a couple years! I never know what to say when asked where I'm from. Mostly, I point at the ground...

I agree that eating dry kibble will not clean the teeth. Same with greenies and the like. Like you said, if it were true, us humans would be doing it! lol I don't know why my observation is of dogs eating canned having worse teeth. Maybe it is poor quality canned, and people that say they're...

For sorting the sentimental things, I like the "30 minute drill". Imagine a knock on the door, told you have 30 minutes to get out, never to return. What do you take? Many things are irreplaceable, but you aren't going to have time to load your great great grandmother's hutch. I'd whittled way...

I've never been big on canned since it feels like I'm paying premium for a can of mostly water. I feed my current dog, a Mastiff, dry. I soak it in double + the volume hot water. When I bred and showed Danes, I did the same. Giant dogs and their propensity for bloat.... I guess for...

My longest, most stable and healthiest relationships have been with dogs. The only truly unconditional love I've had has been from dogs. Dogs are the ONLY creatures on this planet that willingly throw their lot in with us. Humans are so undeserving of this love, yet they still give freely their...
