    Landowner ends public access to BLM land

    Shame they couldn't come to a better solution like having the government purchase the bit of land where the road is. At least the guy is still letting government and the park rangers access it via the road. According to the the news report, it's not the only road into the BLM lands, so he's not...

    Buying in the USA as a Foreigner

    (Edited because I gave some inaccurate information.) Is the issue is that you don't have a residence in the USA? You might want to try a state other than New York.

    Hello!

    I'm curious, have you considered having the trailer moved somewhere warmer where the pipes won't freeze in the winter? There are companies (and people) that can move the trailer for you.

    The Santa Gig

    5 weeks for 25k. That's almost what I made in a year at my last job (with a college degree and 10 years of experience at the company).

    Agree or Disagree? Life is too short to be uncomfortable

    Heatstroke and hypothermia should be avoided, but that's an issue of health and well being, not simply "comfort".

    Passport for Algodones, Mexico?

    The passport card is less expensive, but you can't use it for travel by airplane.

    Homelesss Lady at Starbucks

    I would be more inclined to do that if I didn't have my toddler with me. Also, a lot of people here are on Meth or other drugs that impair their control and skew their reality.

    Homelesss Lady at Starbucks

    I live in the Bay Area of California, we have SO many homeless folks, helping everyone just isn't an option. I always try to at least acknowledge the person's presence and say "good morning" (or "hello" if it's not morning). The one exception would be people that appear to be having some sort of...

    Hot water bottle (or its equivalent)?

    I wonder if the bottle is a little more robust because it was holding carbonated water (under pressure) rather than still water.

    What's worse?

    Were you able to figure out the likely culprit for where/how you got food poisoning?

    Hot water bottle (or its equivalent)?

    Just don't forget you've got hot water in there lol, that would be unpleasant. I'm not sure how I feel about a combination hot water bottle and pee bottle, but I suppose if you never ever drink out of it that it would be ok.

    Failure the do maintenance - root of evil

    I agree with this whole-heartedly. My husband's 06 Mazda6 station wagon (bought used in 2011) she ran like a champ, right up until my husband got the idea that he wanted something newer "shiny-er". Once the Mazda knew my husband was looking at other cars the way he used to look at her (the car)...

    Hot water bottle (or its equivalent)?

    I have a real hot water bottle (from the elderly-care section of the drug store) and it works reasonably well, but boiling water will eventually cause it to leak (not good) so I'm always a little extra cautious about using it and take care to use it with water that isn't quite boiling. Before I...

    Amazon referral links?

    Just thought I'd offer a suggestion :) I've seen a lot of blogs that have a page with "stuff I like" from Amazon. Which ends up being affiliate links to a number of things on Amazon. The people also usually have sentence or two explaining how the affiliate program works (you get a percentage of...

    Why the heck is it so hot in my van?!?

    I once walked into a sliding glass door that I thought was open. I actually hit it so hard I bounced off it and landed on my butt. I've also smacked my hands trying to reach through the car window when I thought it was open but it wasn't.

    Cell Phone Circus

    We use Ting they've got a stupid name but they're a good company. They're a pay as you go plan where you pay for what you use. They piggyback on TMobile's towers so they have the same coverage T-Mobile does. They don't finance out a phone like the subscription services do, you'll either need to...

    Cigarette smoke in conversion van.

    There's a product called Odo-ban that works really well for getting rid of bad odors. I've used it to cover up the scent of a mouse that was decaying under my apartment's refrigerator that was bolted to the floor (ah...college...). For most applications, a few drops on a cotton ball or folded up...
