Really? The Veterans Heath system is paid for by the federal government, actually an example of large socialized medical system that has been of huge benefit to thousands of veterans. Medicare isn’t enough for many to avoid medical debt. The reason many people in this country go bankrupt is...

If you are old enough you might remember the shiny stainless fire extinguishers that were refillable with water and air pressure that hung in the hallways of many schools. The top valve assembly screwed off to fill and had a Schrader (tire) valve to fill with compressed air as well as a gauge...

For the smart and lucky everyday is a holiday! Stay healthy!

“White Christmas” by Bing Crosby but not because it was Christmas.

Looks good! Take it easy and get well soon. I’m just getting over Covid as well, sinuses are slow to heal it seems.

You very seldom come out ahead restoring a boat rather than replacing it once one has been water logged or sinks. The cost, labor, equipment and skill to get it on a trailer to fit it alone maybe worth more than the boat as the entire interior usually needs to be replaced and restored. Even...

^^^ Let’s face the he fact that most areas of this country especially urban areas where most the population dwells have access to and use public utilities. Learning to do without for many is beyond comprehension. One of the large problems with urban homelessness is human waste is left or...

^^^Okay if you add a 120 charger for the lithium battery as well you should have all the options of the commercially sold ones like the Jackery except by using components more cheaply/easily repairable. The big discussion forum argument was you could buy the more compact commercial unit cheaper...

^^^I replaced my 1966 Ford Van with a 1965 Chevy Panel Truck (pickup in the front/cargo van rear) which had two main disadvantages. First it was an old milk delivery truck so geared extremely low. Second because it sat so high in the rear when empty and had no rear windows it was difficult to...

I had a 1966 baby blue one with Dodge wheels, 144 cubic inch 6 cylinder with “3 on the tree” manual transmission. Curtains behind the walk through front seats and crossways rear bed. Had just enough room to put my extended front fork motorcycle diagonally through the side doors. Backpack, cooler...

Being 71 years old and having done hard physically demanding work for 40 years even with good healthy habits which help a lot ( I still watch what I eat and my weight somewhat, do yearly physicals and walk most days) your body’s weaknesses start to affect your abilities. Doctors tend to weigh...

Big thing we ran into with my wife’s knee surgery was the insurance covered 30 days of a rehab center and as we live remotely someplace with a lot of large steps we were told there would be little chance the insurance would deny it, guess what they did. Spent 4 weeks in a ground level AirBnb at...

Yep the lines between the different mobile living situations are becoming blurry as there is more demand for a socially acceptable legal way to shelter and traditional housing becomes out of range for many more upper income people. There are many expensive RVs out there that used to cost more...

I think the video brings up some valid points, after all a new van cost is well out of range of someone trying to live on $700 but if you start out with a paid for new/used van it becomes a totally different situation. Does Bob Wells recommendation still on purchasing a van still hold true...

Wonder if they make a climate controlled, self contained bear suit? A few years ago they finally arrested a guy that lived a long period of time out of very wealthy peoples mountain vacation cabins and properties without their permission. There was one property manager/grounds keeper /security...

Again well vetted seasonal work has so many benefits and with the new health care assistance, some form of cheap transportation you are able to easily maintain, if you are healthy and on your own living simply works in many parts of the United States with mild climates. When you try to have a...

My life has been a struggle and “one day at a time” because I am a slow learner. No advice I could have given myself would have been listened to. You can’t help stupid and I am amazed and mystified as I have had a good life and lived over twice as long as I thought I would, heck it is getting...

^^^Just wondering what your yearly maximum out of pocket is?

So what was the cause of the meltdown of the solar charge controller? Curious minds want to know? Lol!!!

You have a good start but apparently haven’t figured out how to make a large enough income with your skills or gotten enough skills if you will need to live on 800 euros a month. I know a fellow in his early thirties in the computer/IT field that works for a large defense contractor remotely, as...
