    Signature Line

    Gunny, I don't find it offensive. I think it speaks truth. I could have skipped your story though as I have PTSD not related to war, but I also have some trauma from being the person gifted with the privilege of being the confessor for a couple of Viet Nam vets who were finally able to share...

    People can heal what if they desire "enough?"

    Medical Dominoes

    Thanks Parker. I appreciate it. Somehow, some way it will resolve. I just wish it was yesterday, or last month, or last year. LOL

    Medical Dominoes

    I'm feeling really frustrated. In order to make the other big dominoes fall I need to get the medical dominoes to fall first. It's October and my specialist ordered 2 MRIs in January. It took a couple months before one of them was approved and I'm still waiting for approval for the 2nd. It...

    A "Murphy" Shower?

    I have that shower stool!! Or one close to it---it folds up nicely to take up less space.  Definitely plan to take it with me when I hit the road.

    A "Murphy" Shower?

    There was a photo of I believe a commercially available "murphy" style shower on a thread here, maybe under the products section. So, they do exist. If someone knows how to find that thread or if you want to do a search for fold-up showers you might be able to see an example to use to build...

    Acronyms w/o definition are a large pain

    Well, they just appropriated POS from it's original meaning then. Point of sale, yeah right. :P I have less trouble with the slang acronyms than I do with the technical acronyms that get bandied about in here. Some threads I'd have to ask every other post what something means. I make up my...

    Door math?

    Are we counting all the interior compartment doors too? That could really add some variety to the numbers. :P

    The reality of not having a home, and getting old.

    One can do everything "right" and plan for "old age" all they want, but there's no guarantee. A crash like 2008 can come along and knock one back, and then another situation can come along and wipe out what's left of college and retirement funds. Or one may not have been in a position to grow...

    GIRLS' ROOM!!! Feedback/advice please

    I don't have answers to your questions but I do have questions for you that might help figure out if there would be someone who would consider it. Could you explain more about the details of your dream? How long of a travel time are you interested in? Where do you want to go? Do you...

    Drinking Stream/Lake Water?

    The information about boiling was in response to Mobilesport's question about a three stage approach.  It would be a substitute for bleach for those who had the ability to boil or need to not use bleach---not needed in addition to bleach.  It wasn't mentioned as a way to remove chemicals or...

    Let's Talk Vintage Campers

    See, I disagree. It depends on the person. When I was younger I did a lot of towing. When I first started I found a space to practice. It really wasn't a big deal to me after the first few times of nerves, and if it weren't for spinal issues I'd still consider it. There are many women over...

    Drinking Stream/Lake Water?

    Boiling can be used in place of chemicals where feasible or necessary for individual reasons like chemical sensitivities. According to the CDC it only requires a one minute boil to pasteurize water. http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/drinking/travel/backcountry_water_treatment.html I guess about...

    Mummy and Water Storage is STANKY

    Don't use powder or flakes---use liquid. You can add about 1/2 cup vinegar to wash water if using machine. If using tub let soak in same vinegar/water combo for about 15 minutes for 2nd rinse after mild agitation. The vinegar should take care of the mustiness. Sunshine is your friend if...

    Electric heating options?

    It's not in an RV or van but I have 2 of the oil-filled radiant heaters.  One has a dial so will start back up if the power goes off---it's harder to get the right temperature with it.  The other has a digital control and does well for keeping the temperature in my 13x9 bathroom within a couple...

    What's your SIGN...........now ?

    Ugh! Math! It all depends on if you further split the personalities based on Myer-Briggs which has 16. :P I don't believe any studies have been done as to the delineation of where the different astrological signs fall within the Myer-Briggs personality types so any further math would actually...

    The reality of not having a home, and getting old.

    Aww. Y'all are bringing back memories of my dad. He always wanted to help but would do things his way instead of how he was asked. So many things I had to go back and spend twice the time fixing instead of it actually being a help. I'm still missing tools because he could never put them back...
