I was hoping it would cure some of my preexisting mutant conditions

 

[Cammalu]

You guys are too funny! I’m anxiously waiting for mine also.

Speaking of mutants, my son, the one who recently had an operation to remove a kidney due to a tumor therein, told me yesterday that he's got a genetic mutation that predisposes him to tumors in kidneys and other things.

"You have an increased chance to develop PGLs/PCCs. These are rare tumors that affect your endocrine system, which makes and controls your hormones. You also have an increased risk for GISTs, which are rare tumors of the GI tract. PGLs/PCCs and GISTs are not typically cancerous but may require treatment; some can become cancerous. Additionally, you have an increased risk for kidney cancer."

He will need ongoing scanning for these tumors for the rest of his life. His father lives near him and will be tested for the mutation. If he doesn't have it, I'll have to be tested as well.

I found a beautiful boondocking site in the hills today. I'd parked near it to sleep several times and didn't know it was there until today. Right next to Indian Creek. It might show up in my next video.

I have yet to get my vaccine. But I plan to do it. I saw some idiot on the Internet posted that the vaccine is involved with the Mark of the beast from The book of revelations. I didn’t even bother to read the thing because I don’t have time for that kind of stupidity.

Another day in the mid-80s here in Florida with a beautiful breeze coming in off the water it really couldn’t be any more comfortable. I’m looking for a new site to camp because some neighbor started asking questions at the farm. They didn’t complain but they just started asking some questions about who is that person and “is it legal for him to camp there“ so not wanting to get my friends in trouble I’m staying away from there for a while.

Did that make you tired? I always feel a punch in the gut that there are people that actually believe such rubbish. Sometimes I get a headache.

 

[nature lover]

It mostly gives me a headache, I can’t get my mind around people like that. I believe in the Bible and I have some theories about the Mark of the beast but a vaccine let’s be real.

Another day in the mid 80s here in Florida bright sunshine. Where I’m sitting with my van doors open there’s a beautiful pair of anhingas the male is only a few feet from me. There are different kinds of ducks here and some white ibis also. And there’s a bird brain in the van. I had to put down the iPad just now to try to get pictures of something I’ve not seen before. Another anhinga was swimming by with only his neck sticking out of the water of course and the male on the bank near my van flew and jumped on top of him as fast as he could tried to bite him. quite exciting must be prompted by the mating season. I certainly am lucky to have a spot like this I hope they don’t kick me out soon.

 

[JDub]

Why would they kick you out NL? Some kinda of POA?

I can't say that I have ever gotten a headache because of people's irrational beliefs. But I haven gotten a lot of amusement out of it. Laughter or grins instead of headaches. You get to choose how you react, next time just delibertly smile. Smiling releases endorphins, so does laughter. Don't fall into the habit of unessacarily releasing stress hormones when you see or hear such nonsensical things. Stress hormones do bad things to you.

 

[travelaround]

So many people believe irrational theories it would definitely keep you having headaches forever.

Today was laundry day for me. Now, I think I'll make another video and read some books!

I'm loving this warmer weather! I ordered a new pair of sandals today.

 

[maki2]

Got more campsite improvement projects done today. Sure makes a difference when the sun is out and the breeze is gentle. I have been pretty lazyy this winter, time to get stuff done so I can move to new places this spring.

JDub - I don’t know how much Cracker Barrel monitors their parking lot. I have definitely overstayed the “normal” time rvers stay here. Maybe I worry too much. I have eaten at the restaurant maybe four times in the last two weeks. I even forget how long I’ve stayed here but I have left several times and then come back. A man I didn’t recognize, definitely wasn’t dressed like management, came by and looked hard at my Rig and the one next to mine (Also a CRVL like mine). He seemed A little upset. I said hello to him and he just looked at me and smirked. I guess the worst that could happen is if they asked me to leave. Worry is like a rocking chair it gives you something to do but doesn’t get you anywhere. With all the bad luck I’ve had recently I worry too much, when is the next shoe going to fall? But as a nature photographer, Who is supposed to stay off his feet, I’m in the best spot I could be, lots of neat birds here by this pond. I can sit in my chair in the van and take pictures of birds or just enjoy watching them, without walking. If I was paying for a space like this; I’d be paying a pretty penny. God bless the nomads and help them slip under the radar when they have to.

 

[JDub]

Oh, I get it! You're at a Cracker Barrel! Good place to be - order online and then shuffle over to get it (chicken fried steak breakfast please). Yeah... sounds like you don't have too much more time there but enjoy what you have. Have you started looking for other CBs in nice areas to move over too?

Cheers

Going to be a busy day. I want to get my storage tent emptied and taken down. Gust of 40mph predicted for tomorrow. Big change in the weather prediction of yesterdat when the strongest gust on Wednesday was supossed to be 20mph.

Oh well just gooin to be a bit crowfed in my car and trailer for the next week or two while I finish up projects. I wish there were some smaller sized cheap store rooms in Quartzsite but there are not any available.

Wil meetup today with a woman artiat I follow on facebook. We travel to some of the same locTions so the potential for longer term friendship might even happen with meetings now and again on our journeys.

Awwwwww cutie cat

 

[Cammalu]

Gypsy 108. Do some research. There is so many products and jewelry makers now on Etsy that you really might want to find something unique. You might want to try selling on there for awhile before you launch to see if you can make some money

Maki is a successful Etsy seller. She might have tips I’m unaware of.

 

[Gypsy108]

I hope this works :
Nope it still didn't work..when i click on "choose files"  nothing happens....they don't come up for me to "choose"

@Cammalu, yeah i know Etsy is flooded with jewelry....but mine is unique....and i love doing it...and all the people that have seen it go nuts.....i'm going to do what i love.....

Also i've been having password problems....i'm afraid to log off now...so if you see me here all the time...i'm not really here all the time...lol..

nature lover,

I don't stay at a Cracker Barrell 2 nights running. I alternate with Walmarts and truck stops if I am still in the same area. That helps me stay under the radar and not be noticed easily.
