I just spent an hour typing a post on this phone and it all just vanished.  I'm disabled and too truly exhausted to do it all again right now, so I'll just say, "Well met! Anyone else out in Eastern North Carolina? "

Hello, all-
Kristal

Hi and Welcome Krystal!! Yes, that is extremely frustrating, grrr.. I have been known to throw my phone, haha, even beat up my computer. How DARE they lose our words?? Nice to meet you.
 
Is that a local bus?

Is it available for charter?

Welcome to the CRVL forums Kristal! I hate when that happens! Please repost some of what vanished when you feel up to it. Are you living in your RV now? Any more pictures?

To help you learn the ins and outs of these forums, this "Tips & Tricks" post lists some helpful information to get you started. We look forward to hearing more from you.
 
Welcome, Kristal! I've been having the same "disappearing words" disaster happening on my laptop! It makes me crazy...
 
Having dealt with the disappearing words a few times recently I've developed a new strategy for when I'm using my phone. If I think it's going to be a post that will take me a while then I type the post in my email program. It automatically saves so I don't have to worry about losing my post if I get a call or something else happens. Then I just copy and paste to the thread text box and delete the draft email.

Welcome Krystal. Looking forward to hearing more from you when you're up to it.

Cheers
 
Theadyn- I had the same thing happen last night, and I'm doing this by phone. Another 3 hours wasted was enough to get me calling in the troops on Twitter & FB for some app and copy/paste help. I'm totally new to smartphones, and there seems to be a lot of blue air in here sometimes!

Mr. LooRead- It's not as big as all that, but I'm pretty open to charters. Just need to stay in shouting distance of all my doctors for those rotten appointments! (I think I can accommodate your library necessities, too - going by your forum name!)

SisterEarth- Thank you, and nice to meet you! (((hugs)))

Rvwandering- Thanks for the welcome! Yes, I've been living in this rig since the last day of September 2014. Before that, I was living in a canned ham trailer older than I am for over two years, and up until 2006 when I became to injured to do it anymore, I made & sold jewelry at outdoor festivals pulling a Jayco pop-up with my Dodge Grand Caravan, and sometimes it was just me & the van. Even before that, it was the van and an assortment of tents and friends!

I'be read the Tips & Tricks post, and I DO have more pics - I'll pop another on this post. I will also try to resurrect the first post, but will do that separately.

Well met!

Nana4Twins- Hi there! Sorry to hear you're having the same trouble with your laptop. If I can ever get my pc back up and running, that will solve a LOT of my problems right now. Typing on this phone takes ages! :)

GypsyChic- I ended up doing something very similar, I think. I have an app called ColorNote, and even though it saves within itself, I still email it to my email account to copy/paste from there. Tested it this afternoon and it worked like a dream, so this will be project proof/reliable concept.

It's been so nice to meet you all! I promise to put up something comprehensive soon, but basically, I'm disabled but without disability yet, have no one to take care of me physically, and am losing the use of my legs. No pity, please, it's just life. I'm bedridden most of the time, docs don't want me walking because it hastens the day when I'll lose the legs from having bone sever the nerves.

It actually makes a Class C perfect for everything but driving. The wheel well positioning is not the greatest for me, and I have to lift my right leg over the engine hump with my hands. Getting in & out is rough, but I have a bathroom, and after nearly 3 years without, that makes me the happiest person on earth. If the fridge & generator worked, I'd probably explode, LOL!

Great to have met you all,
TheCrystalCrow
