    " Learn to work on your vehicle (I don't want to do this)" My suggestion may not help you then...but may benefit others.

    Survive on $600 living out of vehicle??

    Survive on $600 living out of vehicle??

    As stated by Jay....check with the VA for hospital eligibility....you may not get money/compensation but you might get healthcare and meds with a smaller co payment than Medicare. Worth a phone call 1-800-827-1000. Good luck!

    First Aid for Solo Travelers

    No one likes to use 1st aid on themselves or another. But I would suggest even though you may not use the band aids, alcohol swabs, and adhesives...check these often as some can dry up and loose the adhesive or evaporate even if not opened. And some bottles will explode/split. Not good if you...

    Choosing to be Single and on the Road

    The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married - Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara, and of course Opie - all single. The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk.
