    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    Oh heck bud, I started out with a whizzer, then a cushman then a vespa, I can't remember them all. Was a west coast kid, went everywhere from British Columbia down into Mexico, mostly along the west coast, either 101 or 99 when they were two lane roads (paved). Big deal back then. Many detours...

    In todays society, facts are no longer facts, 2 plus 2 is no longer 4. The speed of light is no longer 186 miles per second. We can no longer force that either. All facts have been replaced by opinion and belief, what ever is popular at this moment in time rules? Even groups and large...

    I've not been to the "women only" site again. Once burned ya know. Since then I have learned that some women are hiding out from abusive companions, mostly men but still want to socialize. No photographs. I think face to face communication has great value, so carry on.

    I'll have to give that idea some thought. Had to look up POV. Even at my age, education is exciting. Hope I can remember tomorrow. Wrote it down. There was another one, where did I put that paper?

    I'm going to give a reply to you comment about your son. I'm an older man, a grand pa and soon to be a great grand pa if not already, could be today. Since my mind becomes cloudy from time to time, do your best to read between the lines a bit. The male brain has evolved over millions of years...

    Stuff running around in my head so fast my fingers couldn't keep up.. Will try to be more careful in the future. The idea that I was intending to express remains unchanged. When we work together toward a goal, better outcomes result. John: My dad always told me as a young man, "look and see"...

    How do u live on $700/month, truly?

    Right: $700 ain't going to happen. Doesn't take a math genius to do simple addition. Of course there are variables from month to month. When your nomad, fuel costs go up and down depending how far you move, going for groceries, water and then moving the minimum distance from free spot to free...

    thinking about getting a new skill

    Truck driver or aimer and pointer? The reason there is a shortage is one, schools are expensive. two, our all knowing government now requires computer controlled equipment and drivers. Drivers are told and required to be tired and hungry according to a program on a computer. Moment by moment...

    what the heck is prose? I just took a bath the other week so that can't be it. Also, Where I grew up, spelling and word learning ended at 6th grade. Had one teacher the whole time. (Ms Umbarger). She would spank me real good when I was bad. There were 12 kids in my school. some of them was...

    If every woman followed that logic, Then fear will rule. That has become a mantra. Watch TV, Bad people, fires, storms, accidents, building collapsing killing thousands, mud slides and avalanches, volcanoes, spewing lava, isonomies. Wear a mask or you'll die, you'll kill everyone. get a shot to...

    Old but not done yet

    How to start. In case your wondering, I'm of the male persuasion. Pretty much stuck in that rut. To start, I am alone now. Some would say single. (only wife died 2 years ago) Also lonesome, incomplete. Hummm I have my eyes open to share myself with some one of the female persuasion willing to...

    Former Vandweller here

    Well Debrajoy54 She and I lived fully every moment since I met her. She and I were both innocent, meaning that we never knew what we shouldn't, do. So we did it. If you can imagine it, we tried it. We didn't have much money. We thought we were rich. I built her a tree house, we slept in it one...

    I now see whatcha mean. about the no go forums. Anyway, some guy told me that stereotypes should be behind us. Is being a woman a stereotype. Sorry about that, not going to happen. I can't put my bald head in pig tails, My legs will still be hairy, and I still have to shave. Besides all of...

    Ravella Now that makes sense to me. An old saying that makes sense to me is "love is not love until you give it away". There is more, total trust is included, total honesty as well. Knowing there is a risk as well. If you give all of that away and it is not returned in like measure, you will end...

    RonDean Your mind set is obvious, as is mine. I'm ok with women having a "space" separate from men. My wife had friends that she got together with without men around. I didn't mind one bit. Some times us guys would get together to have a beer and work on machines with dirt and grease. OK I get...

    Nuff said. I'll give them ALL the space. Be better if there was a prominent sign like on the ladies bathroom. Must have missed it. I'm new to this "forum" thing so ignorant of the protocol. I've known that some women would rather be men, in fact I've known that some men would rather be women...

    How did you end up on the road, and why are you still here?

    -Tutu. salutations MY home reminds me every day of some small thing we did or said or felt together. I've not been inside since Linda died, I've tried to go in but tears come at the door, even the door has memories. Unlike you, burning it down is beyond me. I could but I just can't. I have been...

    Today, I learned two lessons. First one was that responding to what seemed like an honest comment by a woman who needed reassurance that van life people, husbands and wives (and single men and women) were just like any other neighbor. Need something heavy lifted, there is a burly neighbor for...
