    Stocking items for barter

    I think that mentality just makes sense in the world we live in. Living in Florida, I have several gallons of fresh water under my bed and a nice little stockpile of food in the linen closet. LOL My biggest worry when I get my rig is having enough room to stay stocked. I am willing to downsize...

    Art (painting, oils, pastels etc)

    I am not into oils and fine art painting, but I am very much into Art! I began with Needlework. I used to have a business designing counted cross stitch patterns and selling them to Needlework shops. From there I got into all kinds of textiles and fiber arts. Eventually papercrafts and beading...

    And how would they know who has food?

    irresponsible, unreliable? Really?

    Reading this thread reminds me of why I migrated to this forum in the first place. The rv forum I used to frequent thought you were substandard if you considered anything smaller than a 30' C or a 35-40' A. Imagine how many of them tried to talk me out of a 25' C with no slides? I would love to...

    Happy to be a Solo :-)

    Thanks to all for joining the conversation! As for me, i have always been an outgoing extrovert. I am definitely a social butterfly. However, the older I get, the more I am just fine living the solo life. Of course, I haven't hit the road yet. But I like going home alone to just "be" after...

    Happy to be a Solo :-)

    This weekend I had a friend come to visit from Ohio. She was coming down to Bradenton to be with her partner who was already at his family's place, and she let me pick her up from the plane and steal her for some friend time. We stayed in a hotel in Clearwater for two nights before I dropped her...

    Wanna Be a TV Star?

    I totally agree. I have never heard of a corporate business that doesn't have a business email. Only private people in small businesses have a personal looking email. Any webhosting service comes with an email to match your domain. I would also think you could go on the website of the show to...

    My Biggest Fear: Stuck and Settling Down

    I guess I just don't understand people that hide from life in their comfort zone. I am a feel the fear and do it anyway type of person. Yes, if you have responsibilities, you have to work them into your plan. But using them as an excuse to not live, is a different situation...

    ignore the lifestyle behind the curtain

    And an excellent program it is. I simply understand that I am paying for my parents to be on it now and I am not foolish enough to count on it being there when I am "retirement age."

    ignore the lifestyle behind the curtain

    Another excellent book is "Die Broke". It changed my thinking about the standard work and then retire to FL, etc. Retirement at 65 was created by Social Security. What most people don't know is at the time it was created, people didn't usually live until 65! Our whole Western society is based on...

    Tips on finding the laws for your city/state

    I don't know what they do with pets, but it should be fairly easy to google laws. I spend a lot of time every day googling laws and researching all kinds of government stuff. I like to know what they are planning to do to us next. ;-) google the town name with the state and exactly what you...

    Not sure if I should scream or cry

    I am so sory this happened to you!<BR><BR>Sadly, we will be seeing much more of this. In Texas and a few other states, TSA has already taken to the highways. Our North Korean state of mind is only spreading as the public is clueless. <BR><BR>I know I am going to be spending the weekend studying...

    Finding no frills RV parks

    <br><br>I was thinking about the scooter option on the back of a Class C with one of those. Otherwise a Class B that would drive anywhere and ditch the scooter for a small cargo trailer. UGH choices, choices.

    Overwhelmed

    It IS wonderful to talk to others who understand. My mom was in the hospital two weeks ago and I realized that it affected me more than I thought. Last week was a combination of Winter Doldrums/depression, dealing with stress, and just plain having no energy. I live in Florida and I NEED the...

    Overwhelmed

    Oh my goodness, I thought it was just me! I have been so lazy and "shut down" as you both stated. I have so much to do that I get overwhelmed and don't do anything. Maybe it's just winter. We had some REALLY cold weather Sunday and I lost all momentum. On Friday and Saturday I was getting so...
