I'm really glad you did, Jacqueg. I found the info you shared especially reassuring, adding significantly to my forward momentum.

I use to have to mark the comments I wanted to get rid of "deleted", much like you did above. But eventually, a monitor told me they are happy to fully delete such comments for us, because it "gives them something to do". Just click the green "Report" button on your comment and ask for it (and...

I wondered if these posts would last. I hoped no one claiming one group to be right and another wrong would be enough to give censorship a pass. Anyway, I'm very glad I got to see the posts sent to me here before they were deleted, because they were truly helpful, relieving my worries and...

That being so sick and anti-social -- as well as difficult to accomplish -- it's hard to even believe. At least that was 30 years ago, meaning the perpetrators are too old now for such disgusting pranks. I'm sure such things have changed a lot for the better by now. Thanks for the update. I...

Forty-one years ago, I could hear the sounds of logging equipment in the Olympic Peninsula foothill above me, so climbed that foothill to see the logging in action, thinking I might like to help, might like to become one of their workers. But the climb took hours, and by the time I got there...

I am one of them, loving the rain, the lush green, and all of it. This stems from an experience I had when three years old. My mother threw open the window letting the wind and rain pour in as she shouted "Make it lightning, God!" Almost instantly there was a bright triple flash. Then she said...

I'm wanting to move 2,200 miles from central Texas to the Northwest corner of Washington State, which is the upper half of the Olympic Peninsula near Forks, Nea Bay, Beaver, Port Angeles, etc. Can you tell me what it's like there now? (if you've been there recently.) For example, are there...

Urban Dictionary says: Snowflake: A very sensitive person. Someone who is easily hurt or offended by the statements or actions of others. This has nothing to do with politics. Snowflakes can be liberal or conservative. Whether it is a compliment or an insult is a matter of opinion and depends...

This is great info you've given us! Since they are only meant to be pumped up by hand, I didn't know they had any high-pressure safety features. It's a relief to know that they do. But not all of them. The one I've pictured below says in the description: "Material ‎Metal" and also "Pressure...

My parents briefly owned a Panel Truck around 1958. I've been wishing I'd been smart enough to find a way to get one to live in during my college years when I was thrown into a dorm where the endless chatter and confusion through the night was driving me nuts. But I wasn't that imaginative or...

Glad to know what the sad truth is. Frustrating, but now I can stop searching for who still does it.

Yeah. I have the extended (20-feet-long) Chevy Express 3500, and realize they couldn't put the engine up front under the hood where you could reach it because the long hood would make the van too long. And if the cabin were any shorter, I'd loose some of the furnishings I need, like my clothes...

That's a great question, but since it's barely related to "how to live on $700/month", I've put my reply here in the thread Cheap No Cooking Monthly Food List.

MAYO AND MORE My diet requires no refrigeration as well as no stove. I've been eating the below meal three times a day for over two years, and still never tire of it. 1. I use a measuring spoon to scoop up about 18 tablets that are 50% Spirulina and 50% Chlorella and drink them down with...

“Better to have tried and failed than to have never tried at all.” ― Sean-Paul Thomas

Very good point. It's like the difference between NASA and SpaceX: NASA spends years and billions of dollars testing and retesting every possible outcome before sending a rocket into space. Elon Musk, on the other hand, just sends up rocket after rocket as his way of testing, and so had...

I currently get $840/mo from Social Security, and that's my total income. I don't find it hard to live on that because: (1) I travel little, so don't consume much gasoline. (2) For the last two years, I've been eating three small meals a day, which consist of non-fat dried milk, Oats, Cocoa...

I have had the same 12v pump all three years. Maybe mine has not cracked because of no temperature extremes. In the summer, I keep the Fantastic Fan running full blast, sucking the hot air out, 24/7 whether I'm there or not. And in winter, I never set the thermostat below 38F. Maybe you are...

Yep. It sure is! Chrome today:

I tried that old sink sprayer. It looks like this: But home kitchen sink sprayers are made for the high pressure of city water (150-200 psi), not the low pressure of 12v RV water pumps (40-50 psi). When I tried that sprayer on my RV water source, the water just dribbled to the floor. You...
