    Tips on training a dog to be around other dogs?

    Have you tried dog parks? What do you think of them? We sometimes go after a vigorous walk, before her nap time when she is less likely to fail. At the DP I show up with my giant dog and before we get out of the van, I ask if owners or their dogs can handle a huge dog. Sometimes they say sure...

    GIRLS' ROOM: Why is family so unsupportive of solo female travelers?

    You got their (mixed) message, alright. Let's decode it! "No you can't" means they themselves could never "that's too dangerous" is full metal jacket terror "but you're a woman" means they believe females are incapable of whatever See? All projections of their own fears for themselves...

    "People too often forget it is your own choice how you want to spend the rest of your life." Since you have the guts to trust yourself, I think you'll do just fine. You can always mail back beautiful postcards of places you visit with a simple note. Mine would likely say, "I saw (this...

    Insomnia - how to cure?

    Lifestyle changes. Diet, exercise, environment. Hold bedtime routine as sacred, no matter what. Change your bedding/sleep position/pillow because whatever you're currently doing isn't working. Pills are always a last resort.

    Tips on training a dog?

    Love those ears and bushy tail like a fox. :) looks like a sweetheart. Lots of positive reinforcement, lavish praise, say dog's name often in your kindest voice, small treats and petting. I had some early success with a clicker. But my dog has much to learn. They say the recall is most...

    Thanks. I had never heard of the Skeeter Beaters before. While reading your reply, I remembered that Google is my friend. Keeping out insects is high priority for me. I could certainly make these with a roll of NoSeeUm mesh from the big box store and cut up the flexible advertising magnets...

    Cheap moisture control

    Mold can breed just about anywhere, that's true. If you're allergic or particularly sensitive to molds, then try to stay in drier places and stay ventilated. As I said before, this is an easy way to up-cycle materials you likely already have on hand in a vandwelling situation. If they began to...

    That might extend the useful time. That takes frugality to a whole new level, thanks HDR.

    Cheap moisture control

    From a neat Pinterest post, or somewhere similar, but think it was a Facebook/Pinterest link. Take an old pair of longer tube-type socks. Open one and fill with dry material, such as old newspapers, sawdust or kitty litter (I recommend the unscented crystal silica litter). Twist tight, knot...

    Hi everyone! My name is Odyssey :)

    Actually I drive a 2011Toyota Sienna now. Owned a Honda Odyssey 2 minivans ago and loved how it handled more like a sports car. This is my second '11 Sienna, the first was totaled in a nasty interstate collision. So I'm convinced it saved my life that night. It's pleasant to drive, hauls people...

    Hi everyone! My name is Odyssey :)

    Thank you for creating this site! I have never camped outside in my 58 years, I really don't care for bugs, snakes and icky things that I'm not used to. But it's time for new radical changes in my life. In order to face my fears, I need to know what they are and how to overcome them. CRVL, you...
