Title says it.

I have heard and read about one's devices spying on you, never thought too much about it.  I have an android phone, prepaid ATT, that is the only device I have with internet access.  No wifi, just cell service.  Have never used it as a hot spot. All apps that can be deleted or disabled are. ...

June 20, 2020 The Summer Solstice.  I love the Solstices.  In summer, one can get the most work done.  Right after my nap, which can be longer, too!  Woot! And winter is the day when you can say, "Ha!  From this day forth, there will be more light." L-e-t  the sun shine! L-e-t the sun shine in...

On Friday, after staying home for 32 days, I ventured out.  This is what I found. Traffic was about the same as before.  This is a farming community with a high percentage of the population being retirees and those who are self employed. Post Office:  (in a village with population 1,800) signs...

I am not kidding.  There is a video on Reuters that says the company that manufactures 1 out of 5 condoms will be running out soon and predicts there may be a shortage because their employees can't come to work. And with so many working from home...who thinks maybe there will a jump in...

If there is something vehicle dwellers are experts at, it is using less, making do, and conserving with everything from water to food to clothes and fuel.  With the current situation, sheltering in place, social distancing, few trips out, why not share your favorite hacks that save going out. ...

So...  I have been looking for a dog to be a companion since I lost my furry Shihtzu friend last year.  So far, no luck.  I am choosy as to breed and you just don't see those breeds in shelters. A week or so ago, I was startled awake by a "dream", just as I was drifting off to sleep a vivid...

RTR sounds like fun.  I attended one when less than 100 peeps were there and after a few days, had to leave.  *Shiver* Really, how do you stand it?  Free roaming dogs peed on everything I left outside, a few people were drunk and behaved abominably.  The gossip was rampant!  I couldn't stand...

I start this thread in response to a posting elsewhere; don't want to hijack that thread.  To some, this may be upsetting but to me it is important so here goes. It seems to be popular and The Right Thing To Do now to get a dog from a shelter. I understand that.and even support it, up to a...

Last April, I lost my little furry Kirby.  She was my best buddy for 14 years, from van to TT to fifth wheel to Class B to mini van, from Texas to Maine to Alaska (where she barked at the bears) to California and everywhere in between.  I wasn't going to get another but it has been so lonely...

Appliance label says "6 amps".  Is that six amps per hour, assuming it runs continuously for that hour?

How many robo calls, sales scams, credit card offers etc do you get?  Used to be 3/week but the past two months, it is 3-5 a day.  I mostly didn't answer, tried blocking, was going crazy.  Then one day, in a fed up mood, I decided to play along.  And am now having fun with it but the calls have...

A friend is building a small offgrid house.  She (and I) have basic knowledge but here is my question. The house is wired all AC.  It has a breaker box that has a separate cable that will plug into her generator to power the AC through the breaker box. The solar array (Renogy panels totaling...

Back in a S&B the past year after seven years living in vans and RV's.  Traveled every state except one (CT?  Drove right past and missed that turn), including several months in Alaska. My whole life before this was standard stuff, married, kids, jobs.  My husband died and I decided it was my...

Okay, here goes. Propane doesn't burn efficiently at high altitudes. Butane doesn't burn well in cold temps. This is standard knowledge, right? I have always used propane in vans with camping gear, in RV's with furnaces and their stoves and fridges.  The only time I had a problem was at very...

Crossword puzzle hint: "Hippie Home". Three letters _a_ "van"!!  HA!  I got that! Nope.  It's "pad".

This has nothing to do with Dwelling but I am at a total loss and welcome any suggestions! The Situation:  a few acres of land, hilly, rocky, trees and scrub, with a rough trail about six feet wide that leads to several areas of "storage".  Call them junk piles.no vehicle that I know of will...

I acquired Kirby as a puppy when my late husband was fighting terminal cancer.  We already had four other dogs at the time but they were mature and older and I wanted one who would be my companion for years after he died. She was a little Shihtzu fighter!  Loved people but hated other dogs and...

A light bulb moment this morning, which has been coming on for a while... As years passed, I found myself becoming more and more reclusive.  When I retired, after my husband died, I did the van and RV thing, solo with my dogs.  Spent much time in the wildernesses and on the road.  I often...
