^^^ Reading that from ERLH makes me appreciate my insurance company more.  When my house was damaged by storm---siding ripped off and lightning burning some electrical---the adjuster calculated replacement of all the siding on that side even though only 3 pieces were involved and told me to have...

Sounds great! Good luck! :)

Not sure whether I should break this into separate posts or not.  Guess I'll just keep it together for now since internet is being wonky and making posting difficult. Queen, sounds like you really deserve and need a break. Hope you get that monkey mind quieted soon. :) LadyJo, that tent looks...

Cyndi, it's a great idea. :) I'm so far off the beaten path, in Ohio, for most of the regulars in here it would be an unjustifiable expense to come here.  I've got a beautiful space to park and hopefully the electric to the barn still works so it wouldn't be anything to set up a nice private...

You must have missed part of this: "The dividends on the stock PORTION are MORE than $25k." All of this convo is way off topic and none of our business anyway. There's decent investment strategy in the conversation that really deserves it's own thread.

Yeah. No. :P It might give me a moment of pleasure but the cost would be too high. Hehehe I'd probably have to replace both garage doors because I wouldn't be able to find a match. Match, hmmm. Nope. Can't do that. LOL I'll just keep on keeping on making do for now doing what I can until I...

LOL. Even we women can't help but want to give advice to fix things. I appreciate the helpful intentions. I installed the garage door opener so I'm quite familiar with it.  Never installed an electronic eye because those things annoy me and around here it wasn't really necessary.  First thing I...

Monday the garage door opener worked, Tuesday it didn't and once I got the door open I had to jam a long 2x4 in to keep door open to get car out. They stopped making this kind of opener a few years ago so there's no replacement parts available. The model that doesn't require a total reworking...

The photos of the Tetons make me want to get back there even more than I already did. I think the Tetons call to me more than Yellowstone. Yet more questions for you---on the 55 mile loop, how long did you stay out there? I remember when I was out there the one trail we wanted to do required...

Oh yeah, before I forget again LadyJo, girl, we need to talk. :) I'd love to hear more about your european adventure and how you did it since my DD is interested in some travel that direction. It deffo deserves it's own thread though!

Yanno I was going to say that unless they are among the younger of us (maybe still if they were) that they shouldn't frugal themselves out of entertainment experiences they might want. They are fortunate to be in a good position. More of us on here aren't in such positions. As long as there...

Learning some of this stuff is like trying to learn a foreign language with your ears plugged! I went looking on the cell phone threads and XXXXX from trying to figure out the acronyms. Not worth it to me right now to ask since I can't do anything about it. Verizon is the only carrier that...

LOL! I'm not a couple but I know a couple couples or so, but they aren't on this path. Just my buttinski opinion, but if you've been fine with a teardrop (guessing it's one you can't stand in?) then I'd venture you don't "need" a high top. I would think that you could add a high top later if...

I plan on getting a pstyle or shewee once on the road and I have the spare bucks. Right now if I drop trou and squat in the woods and somebody sees me they are trespassing and shouldn't be there in the first place. I do make sure there's no poison ivy nearby in case I tumble. hehehe For the...

Well, just the principle would last that long. Living off the dividends could extend it indefinitely. I had a nice tidy sum in a Roth IRA investment account with dividends that would have kept me comfortable for the rest of my life but things beyond my control changed all that. Now 30k sounds...

Well, I think reading 1.4mil and eating beans and rice and staying at free campsites in the same post on this website shut off my brain. Culture shock I guess. But then just now I did the math and at 25k a year it would last 56 years! Don't get me wrong---I love beans and rice, but if I was that...

^^^hoping this is a bit of tongue in cheek

^^^that's a simply beautiful answer Trebor :)

Ha ha ha! :D I should really have my first cup of coffee before reading in the morning. My rubbermaid containers are of the 18 gallon variety for storage with the smaller ones still having the same footprint so I was having a hard time figuring out how on earth that was going to work. It was...

Woohoo! Lucky you to be getting out on the road now. I'm not out that way but I love the Zion area and it seems like almost every time I've visited there was in Septembers. Nice looking van. Of course we'd love to see pics of the inside. :) Happy trails!
