Introducing me

[cyndi]

Hi!&nbsp; I'm Cyndi!&nbsp; Just back from the RTR where I had a fabulous time and met&nbsp;a lot of&nbsp;really wonderful people.&nbsp; I've lived in a van off and on over the years for up to 6 months at a time and always knew I wanted to full time.&nbsp; I'm actively searching for a vehicle now, leaning towards a Class C, but keeping all options open.&nbsp; I plan to be on the road, full time, by January of 2012.&nbsp; If it happens sooner I won't be disappointed!<br><br>I learned so much from the people at the RTR (thank you thank you all of you!) and am looking forward to reading and learning more, here!<br><br>OK,&nbsp;please, someone tell me how&nbsp;I can get into that speshul sekrit "<A class=forum_title href="https://vanlivingforum.com/?forum=186075" target=_blank><FONT color=#3b5998>Read this stuff first! It's good stuff!</FONT></A><BR>announcements, news, guides....like a forum GPS!" thread.<br><br>Thanks<br>Cyndi and Stumpy (my dog who&nbsp;believes she is the&nbsp;queen of everything)<br>

[cyndi]

Hi Suanne, I wish I could say I was happy to be back from Q, or leave there at all.&nbsp; I was so much warmer there!<br><br>Katie, Stumpy's already in bed for the night, but I will relay your smooch to her tomorrow. Yup!&nbsp; That's me...sign up on a new forum and start whining about what's not working for me...you'll get used to it!<br><br>Rose, you're welcome.&nbsp; I hope we'll see you and Earl there next year.&nbsp; It really was a party for the dogs!<br><br>Pondputz...love the name, who are&nbsp; you?&nbsp; I know I heard mention of a ponputz at RTR.<br>

Cyndi, you were such a blessing to the gathering!! You did so much behind the scene, thank you <img src="https://vanlivingforum.com/images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0"> I think Cyndi doesn't sleep! She was always sitting outside of her RV, and she is so friendly, she became the center of the gathering (it helped that she was the closest to the firepit and the kitchen!). <br><br>The storm that just blew across the country dropped temeperatures everywhere, even here. The overnight lows have been in the mid-teens and daytime highs in the 40s. The first night of those temps also had 30-45 mph winds. VERY, VERY cold! Bob<br>

You missed my blog on the RTR: <a target="_blank" href="http://techno-viking.com/posts/rubber-tramps/">http://techno-viking.com/posts/rubber-tramps/</a> .&nbsp; I'm collecting people who were there's blogs and websites on the bottom of that page, and updating as needed.&nbsp; Suanne's will be on my next update.<br>

 

[cyndi]

Blars! Hi! I hope all is well in LA!&nbsp; I'll be checking out your blog next!<br><br>Bob, consider yourself blessed that I didn't sing!<br>It can't be as cold there as it is in dirtville!&nbsp; But, I am grateful to have some heat, here!&nbsp; should be warming up in Q today and then I can be envious again!<br>

Hi Cyndi....great to have met you and your buddy, Stumpy. It is cold here in Baja too....32 this morning at 6 and about 65 now.<br>Bri<br><br>

 

[gadgetMe]

ok,<br>&nbsp;Cyndi,<br>&nbsp;I confess.<br><br><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IyqaBYnYvLg/TTd9gqYZpFI/AAAAAAAAA-M/tvJhWJaan0A/s320/P1090628.JPG"><br><br>Kirk your favorite Putz<br><br>

I tried to answer your private message but you don't accept them.&nbsp; Comments on my blog are currently broken, I need to work on them.&nbsp; I have no idea why blogger won't let you subscribe.<br>

 

[cyndi]

Bri!&nbsp; Back at you! It was wonderful to meet and spend time with you and Dina!&nbsp; I hope it's warming up in Baja! I'd be envious even if it's cold.&nbsp; You're beachfront!<br><br>Kirk!&nbsp; Ok, I remember now! How did you know you are my favorite putz?&nbsp; No one was supposed to tell... I hope your're warm, where ever you are!<br><br>Blars, I'll fix my pm's, thanks for letting me know!&nbsp; Blogger can be real glitchy so I'm sure the inablility to subscribe has to do with blogger, I'll keep trying!<br>
