    DIY physicals

    Johnny b, could you give a name or link for the electronic tester for cholesterol? I have had bad reactions to statins yet every time I test high they ignore that and prescribe them again. I know there are food/lifestyle changes that affect it and would love to be able to see what is working and...

    20' Box van conversion questions 1. Electrical 2. Mom's attic 3. Roll up back door

    Renata, Sounds like a fun platform to work with. If it weren't for it being more than I want I'd consider a box van just for the fun of designing it. If I was closer and able, I'd volunteer to help with the design/build. Anyhow, nomadic electrical is above my pay grade too so I'm no help...

    Transit conversion with kids?

    I don't remember the names but there are a few families with videos (that include tour-type videos of their set-ups) on youtube that are traveling in transit or sprinter type vans. Sorry I can't remember the names-I would have looked them up for you but I don't have easy or regular internet...

    You might be wasting money on oil

    Wow! Even when I was able to maintain things myself it sounds as if I was inept comparatively. Sometimes reading all this makes me wonder if I'm going to be able to maintain my wheels on the ground if I manage to get to them since I struggle with memory issues now---most specifically with...

    Denver new laws against over-nighting stealth

    The link to the 71 page document is this one: https://www.nlchp.org/documents/No_Safe_Place from post 58 above. :D

    Food for thought--what would you do?

    Cyndi, that's for sure. It's a lot harder to know when one is basically on one's own. I was fortunate to try ambien when I had a full house so I learned quickly I was "functioning" while I slept without recall and stopped it immediately. My grandmother had her ladies to take her around town...

    Food for thought--what would you do?

    Yesterday I was a passenger in a taxi that was driven by an ex LEO on the long way home. We saw the initial stage of what would become an accident-a car driving down the exit ramp going the wrong way into oncoming traffic as we were passing the ramp-and he called 911 to report it. We watched...

    Stocking items for barter

    Sorry HDR, your information is not correct and I need to set it straight. Hybridization is NOT what is meant by genetic engineering although too many interchange the terms in common use, causing confused misinformation. :s  Hybridization is about cross-pollination, NOT gene splicing.  The...

    Bring out your cooks! Van/RV setups

    I still have my picnic canister like in post #32. I've still got the red and black checked vinyl bag for it too. I do wonder how healthy it is since it's all aluminum but it would make awesome storage if not used for food itself. :) I used to make many things but food allergies and then eating...

    Any Rock Hounds?

    Yay! Looks like I've got some catching up to do on reading here. Soon as I can focus better I look forward to it. :)

    Best Christmas Gifts for Nomads

    I agree with MONEY. I asked for money last year and got something that I couldn't use or sell easily that added to the list of junk I have to basically give away before I can get on the road. Unless someone knows what I can really use or that I really want I'd rather either get cash in some...

    The Golden BB.

    Yay! How fantastic for you! (The being able to get on the road again, not the radiator leaking. :P ) I'm so glad things have changed for you in this positive way. :)

    What simple thing can bring a smile to your face?

    1. Spending time visiting my daughter. 2. Hanging out with happy cats or dogs. 3. Beautiful scenery. 4. Watching the critters in the back yard---deer, squirrels, hawks--whoever passes by. 5. Memories of family and friends. 6. Time spent with good people. 7. Someone holding a door open for...

    The Santa Gig

    Ah, if only I could make my voice sound manly! LOL For the right person I think this could be a fun job. Even if it wasn't fun all the time the pay and short duration would definitely make it bearable.

    polystyrene (styrofoam) as insulation

    Great info here thanks. :) Sounds like a great way to freecycle. It might work for those cabinets built out of foam board too. Lightweight and free construction materials? SCORE!!!

    I'm sailing away

    Oh! Gaba is the one I'm coming off of slowly. Nasty stuff---had no idea how nasty til recently. That's so great about your eye and being able to see just one and all. :) I think a little bittersweet is a good thing. It means there was good in the previous chapter. <3 I wonder how many of us...

    Girls' Room Chit Chat Jumble Thread

    Well, I was going to work on getting caught up but my brain just isn't up for it yet. I need to wean off a med completely first so it seems---definitely if I want to absorb any volts or amps or battery stuff. LOL Anyhow, hope everyone is doing well. I'm guessing those that can make it to the...

    Woman's Forum: Potty Issues

    So, after catching up, the only thing that I've retained is the "beer cans." Now peeing into a beer can without getting anything wet would be quite an accomplishment!

    Goodbye ObamaCare

    Dennis, I think the enrollment period is around now. If it were me I would keep the VA for this year and have the Medicare like Gunny. No telling what this coming year is going to bring to Medicare and Medicaid. In my area finding physicians covered by my provider is not very easy---have to go...

    I'm sailing away

    Jim, Congrats! I'm guessing your eye surgery went well. This is first thread I'm reading to catch up. Weaning off a med with horrible side effects so still kind of out of it. Sounds like there's some bittersweet, but also like there's a lot going on for you that's so very good. I'm excited for...
