    The discrimination of the van Life community in America

    The response seems very weird to me since it was on private property. I am thinking that it might be because of expired registration? That's something the cops routinely cite.

    Holidays are for the slaves……..

    By the way I just looked for that post and couldn't find it. LOL oh it must have been mine! Because I just looked in my notifications and found a deletion with a "message" attached. AND YES IT WAS DELETED. Seriously dude, get a thicker skin. This is getting ridiculous on your part. HATE...

    The only thing I've ever seen hold her back is receipts.

    Holidays are for the slaves……..

    I'm sorry you had to experience hate, if that's indeed what you experienced. That's a very subjective thing, though. It implies mind-reading, which nobody can do. And it's hyper-politicized to a degree which could not possibly be overstated. I hope we can all be understanding, if not...

    I'm not even sure what that opinion was.

    Holidays are for the slaves……..

    I get up at 4 a.m. to go to an extremely filthy, unattractive job that pits workers against workers and management against workers(health care) for the benefit of SURELY not patients but absolutely for the corporate overlord investment class. And I've been contributing to social security all my...

    Saw an ambulance for sale yesterday in Clearwater FL.

    Thanks for passing it along. I'm looking or an ambulance too, but more the standard box on a trailer kind. Still, this might be great for someone. A lot of these old ambulances are selling at ridiculously low prices for a really solid vehicle.

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    Oh I agree. By way of example of more volatile ingredients, I've left eggs out for a month and still eaten then, and found unopened milks still fresh for weeks beyond the expiration date. Unopened vacuum-packed cheese, it often doesn't seem to matter. Except for the shredded stuff, that...

    Seriously! How did this ever become such a hard thing? It's like people were born into the internet yesterday or something. People seem to have forgotten what the idea of an open conversation is all about. Even if you start a thread, you don't own it, nor is its divergence under your...

    The never-ending desire to attain and direct control always pops up, everywhere and always. So tedious. Thank you for objecting. Maybe it can help keep some heads on their shoulders, occasionally. Good luck to us all on that, though. Soon to be deleted.

    Just talking about my experience. I live in a gated community as its poorest by far helper by orders of magnitude. Some tell me they want to commit their stained underwear and torn socks. The outdated pumpkin mix is not just a Marge from the Simpsons reference, but the real thing. When I was...

    I live in an estate community, but as a poorer helper thereto. One fellow used to want to give his old torn and stained underwear to goodwill. Another his old stained and torn wife-beater t-shirts and hole-y socks. I used to work for Food & Friends, our local version of Meals on Wheals, as a...

    Even the Simpsons managed to make fun of this 40 years ago. Old expired Pumpkin Pie mix and the like. People really need to not just clear out the outdated pantry but sometimes try to do something nice and ... be ... nice.

    Exploitive?

    Ditto. I liked it a lot. Liked the movie too. Found the movie offended some people and expect the book would too. :)

    Pricey propane or solar shower or PVC on the roof?

    Really the spray head for a garden sprayer should be more than enough. They are very adjustable and the one I've got -- in common with others I've seen -- has interchangeable nozzles if you want to get things just particularly right. I think I got a 2-gallon for a very reasonable price and it...

    When I was trying to grow microgreens professionally(never quite made it there, but damn my stuff was good), I took multiple measures to guard against mold. It's tricky. I used diluted food-grade hydrogen peroxide to spray my 10x20 trays(I'd keep a dozen of them or so going in different growth...

    House Plants?

    Now yer talkin'! Coming from a perspective not necessarily common to others, I'll mention something important to microgreens growers. That is, that air circulation is vital. Both to keep humidity down, and to strengthen the stems of the young plants. (This also helps prevent mold and...

    House Plants?

    I'm a microgreens expert and I love them to death, but I can tell you that any significant watering of any significant amount of water-hungry plants creates a LOT of moisture in the air such that in all but supremely dry climates -- with your windows etc wide open! -- you will notice the...

    Pricey propane or solar shower or PVC on the roof?

    I got a pretty cheap solution that works well enough most seasons of the year where I live. I went to Home Depot and got a black 5-gallon bucket with a black lid. Fill the bucket with water, cover, and leave it out in the sun in the morning or, if you're in a hot area, even later than that...

    Planning Planning Planning and 5 years out before I go full time.

    Good for you planning way ahead. I'm doing the same thing, can't really afford to not work until I'm too broken down to not work, so I come here and read and chat and research. One day it will hopefully all come in handy. You can never prepare too soon, I suppose. Even though things like...
