    What would you do?

    Ultimately you did the right thing for all the right reasons. I would think twice or three or four times before directly confronting someone these days - especially in the absence of clear and impending danger (hot car, etc.). Perhaps just calling the police right off the bat is the safest...

    It's getting chilly!!!

    All true!! I used to cut hair several years back, and one thing that always held true is that we always want what we don't have. Brunettes wanna be blonde, blondes wanna be brunettes, people with curls wanted to be poker straight, and those with straight hair coveted curls!! The basic tenet...

    It's getting chilly!!!

    Hi Nomads!!! I've been sitting home (Columbus, OH) with the pup today, mostly watching vehicle conversion videos and trying to keep my mind off of things that stress me out in general.  So I wanted to post something that might encourage folks to say hello and help me get to know posters and...

    How Stealthy could you make it?

    If it wasn't in Texas, I totally would! Haha!! That's a bit far to go for this Ohio girl, though.

    1st night in my SUV

    Thank you so much for clearing that up. :) I haven't been around long enough to know anyone yet.

    How Stealthy could you make it?

    My first thought was spending the night at Camp Walmart and the looks you'd get climbing out of the back in the morning to grab coffee. Man, I'd have way too much fun with this. I LOVE it!!

    Planning Guidance?

    We have a minivan now that we're going to do some weekend runs in at first and build up to longer as his work allows.  I've done the homeless thing, but that was involuntary. You're right, though.... why do humans always make things harder than we need to?!  LOL

    Planning Guidance?

    You've given me plenty to think about, and I put it all on my initial list. I have a lot of paring down and organizing to do to this list, and answering your initial questions will all be a part of that. Dan is the primary breadwinner, but I contribute to our income as I'm able. We'll be doing...

    Planning Guidance?

    Yes, it is a challenge, but I manage the best I can. Didn't you post a different reply? I try to keep up with Thanking everyone for replying until I can get a chance to go through and answer everyone, and I could have SWORN you posted a long answer. I even went out and bought the Chromium...

    1st night in my SUV

    Hahaha Don't feel bad, Jan. I have a smart phone, but it's an Android and most everyone I know has a stupid iPhone. I'm very familiar with those squares, because iPhone emojis don't always translate to Android phones.  BTW, having an old phone has the added benefit of being safer when it comes...

    1st night in my SUV

    One's of Bob's CRVL videos on YouTube is with a woman who lives/camps in her PRIUS. Her setup is super simple and contained, and she explains how she uses it. She's not a little tiny woman, either. It's a part of this two 'essentials' video set; worth a watch. Part 1: Part 2:

    Hola

    Lurkers are awesome. They leave room for those of us who never seem to shut up.  ;) :D

    Future van/truck dweller

    Ohio is well represented here!  :)   When I was driving for Greyhound I picked up the Detroit route often, and it stopped in Findlay at that "truck stop" with the Subway.  I'm not sure I was ever in Findlay otherwise. Seems like one of countless Ohio towns that ya drive THROUGH instead of TO...

    Planning Guidance?

    This is all great advice so far - thank you all for commenting. I love the idea of taping off the area and "building" it in the house. I'll be doing this SOON. To answer questions: I have never traveled. Well, not since I was 10 and drove to Niagara Falls with my parents in their Chevette...

    Planning Guidance?

    As some of you know, I've been posting on the forums for a few days. Hubz and I are in the early planning/saving stages, but we've decided on a small bus at least. LOL The problem I'm having is that I'm just getting overwhelmed. There's so much to know, remember, plan for, etc etc. Does anyone...

    Looking for ideas ... my poor bus!

    That's fantastic news! Good luck!!

    Can you breathe up all the oxygen in your rig?

    "does that down jacket taste good? naw needs salt" Reminds me of that old Bugs Bunny "down in the mouth" joke. LOLOL
