I don't want to ignore a user who might discuss something I find valuable. I would like to just not read them. That's why I asked to correctly title threads. That way I can ignore the thread I don't want to spend time and energy reading.

What I don't understand is why this is being discussed/debated *AGAIN* on this forum. I'm tired of reading these posts. You either believe that climate change has been influenced by human action or you don't. Either way you act accordingly within your belief structure. If this topic must be back...

I recently purchased a 95 dodge ram 2500 conversion van. It was a good price and in decent shape to help me transition into fulltime so I could build up an emergency fund/another vehicle fund. I've only had it for 3 months and I'll be local for a year or so but I'm pleasantly surprised by the...

Welcome back Troy. I ran across your blog a few months ago. I'm glad you have your van now and are ready for the next adventure. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Enjoy!

Bitty, There is no one size fits all in anything but apparel, and then it's really one size fits most. You have every reason to feel proud of what you have accomplished. I hope the month of March brings you no van related repairs and you have some extra time, energy and money to contemplate...

Anewbie, I've used online banking to pay bills, access my accounts and transfer money at libraries in 3 different states over the course of the last 8-10 years. I rarely pay for wifi at home. I've never had any kind of problem with my account. Also, I've never been to a library that had...

Just like health insurance, auto insurance is state regulated so experiences can vary widely with the same company. Also if allowed by your state, things like your credit and zip code, not just your driving record, will affect your rate as well. That being said I also had State Farm for years...

A few family members would like to paint some pictures on my van. Since they are all more artistically gifted than I am, even the 6 year old (no joking) I'm actually considering it. There's a forum member here who is an artist and has painter her TT so cute. (Goes my dragonflyinthesky I...

Thanks Matt for doing the leg work on that. I'll be full timing soon with my cats. I plan to be mostly living in my van instead of out of it, at least this year, so it won't be so much of a necessity but I'm glad to be aware of it. I purchased a thermostat to install with my computer fans that...

It should give others pause when they only look at the bottom line price. There is no free lunch and a company is cutting some kind of corners, more often than not, to offer 'rock bottom prices.' Just because something is more expensive, doesn't mean the company is greedy. More expensive may not...

You have the right attitude and the inside pics do look better than you'd think from the outside. Elbow grease and a canvas to learn on. You probably won't be too upset if you make a mistake while doing something. At least not as upset as you'd be if you paid $35,000 for it. Also, for all...

@Bitty - since you're not using any fuel you don't need a CO monitor. Ouch those things are expensive for the RV types. Just been looking at them for my setup. Oh course, waking up is priceless...

I bought them a while back and was thinking of using them as my own diy foil backed stryo for my insulation. It will probably be a pain and additional time but I have more time than money. I've been collecting free stryo off of CL free section. Any thoughts on concept?

X2. I love using sweet potatoes in place of white. I make sweet potato latkes (pancakes) in Dec that my friends and family adore. I'll either type up recipe or find one online similar to what I do if anyone wants. Or just do a search for them. That's how I started and then just adjusted as I...

Thanks Bitty (& Lee). I've been eyeing that very sleeping bag for a few months now. Glad to hear 2 endorsements of it. It now goes on the LIST of things to buy. Cheers

X2. I was thinking of you just the other day and wondering how you are and then you posted. I'm glad you found a neighborhood to call home. Pretty soon all the minor things that go wrong on a new-to-you vehicle that can seem major when money is tight will all be replaced. Then you won't have...

Oh Bruce. I opened this up thinking you were asking for advice on whether to keep your dad's cat or not. This was not what I expected but for some reason cracked me up. Even the idea of smuggling in a pet plant. Get a Venus fly trap, name him Seymour and see if the Ag inspector has a sense of...

As others have said, it depends on what feels right to you. A clue might be if you know whether you are an introvert or extrovert. Introverts get there batteries recharged by spending time alone while extroverts get their batteries charged by being around other people. The opposite of each side...

At least you know yourself well enough and are comfortable with that knowledge to make good decisions for YOU. Group think can be alive even in niche areas/margins of society. I always admire those who know themselves well [emoji3]

Bruce, where I am locally it varies by each food bank. One is based on income and assets. Another just asks questions wanting to know if you qualify for food assistance or not and demographic info. They track the answers but don't seem to turn anybody away. You also need to show proof of...
