RE: What a waste of "MONEY"
Love pennies,
especially when you step over them and leave them for me.
Maybe someday I'll loan some to the govmt. at a 190%
interest rate.
RE: Does Anyone Save Aluminum Cans For Recycle Dollars?
I've been taking down metal fences and putting up wood, board on board privacy fences because of the 'hood'.
I never get a chance to sell them - they are disappearing by someone dismantling another wire fence (they were getting ready to take that too)
to get the rolled fences out of the yard.
uh, did that make sense?
In essence, economy in toilet, theft thru the roof.
RE: If you could have one vehicle back what would it be?
Most importantly, Black Bart, my beloved '68 TR4A IRS. Which I described
earlier.
But, I do so miss my '55 Porsche 356B.
In winter, when I slid in to go to work, I know just for me, her seats
would warm.
But!! - ever do 111 to 124! mph, practically laying on on your back,
you can feel the asphalt whizzing 3-l/2 - 4 inches under you, on the tract
at Road Atlanta in a car that the RBs' refer to as a "cute little
peddle car"!?!?
Triumph - British - sporty, rigid, uptight, fast and loves you.
Porsche - German - low, comfy, sexy, fast and cuddles you.
I refuse to rate the handling and reliability of either. It would be
like comparing me to my brother.
RE: Crying----A Duet
MT Pokets, what you need in your life......
It's called 'gaydar'. It's a gift.
I have no idea why, but some are born with it.
I fortunately was. But I use it also, to stop
myself from hurting somebody with my mouth.
RE: How Smart is your right foot?
Why, Oh, Why, can't I fix it.
I have only known men more agravating than that.
I hate it. Now I can't be repaired!
Help, I'm broken and I can't be fixed!!!!
RE: Looked through my yearbook last night
I wouldn't dare look at my highschool year book.
Somebody must cut that pic of me out!
I was dying to go to my 2004 HS reunion -
'cause I had seen them in the daylight!
RE: Baring your soul on RV.NET???
Camperoo, I feel that you enjoyed my post. But never as much as I enjoyed posting it. I remember the feelings of relief you describe as vividly as my own once.
Wild, the different ways we figure out to relieve our pain. *Especially when we have NO SUPPORT.* Some whackier than others, but hopefully some work out.
And in telling our stories, it's like yelling, "Hey, I'm over here and there is space for you" - I think we will never know the relief that can be given.
Sounds like your SOS post is very similar to that part of my life.
I walked out of my life, career, financial, my youth - I had to go home to become caregiver of 4 (and then me). Each one had a variety of health issues including brother with Aids - I had NO experience. I never even had kids!
Those chest pains were a daily event. Doc said angina via stress.
History says caregiver is always on the daughter's and wife's shoulders. Wives take care of their parents AND his parents! So, GeeWhiz, I guess I lucked out on that one. No time for social. Very damn funny!
++But I can change the catheter on my 89 year old neighbor's, 92 year old husband and come back and finish off my bowl of melted ice cream. No problem.
And I have read many of your replys and your sensitivity (and tactfulness) has always come thru.
You have never once come across as a knucklehead.
RE: Baring your soul on RV.NET???
Hi I'm Kate,
It appears to me that DOTLDaddy is thinking that he is the one that brought me out of the closet. And a heard of elephants.
Honey, I don't want to disappoint you but it took the - rest of the page and my past, back to, oh, about '88 and having to escape from a 5 year relationship with a true monster, who I shall refer to only as "speed bump". (Just ask and I shall tell.)
You were logical and real. And I truly appreciate that! And I expect that of you.
Illogic and feeling forced to hide the real me or you, are two of the things I am tired of putting up with. (only two) i.e. all our politicians!
And like the movie, "I'm sick and tired and I'm NOT going to take it anymore"!
Now back to me.....the rest of my story is the best of my story! That was just a few highlights. If I peak one's interest, then the book will be successful. (maybe, just kidding)
I now always say to me, "there ain't nothin nobody can do to me, that I can't do to my self".
Nite, and at my house I can't let the bed bugs bite.
RE: If you could have one vehicle back what would it be?
My black on black 1968 Triumph TR4 IRS.
One of the last TR4s before they started converting the bodies to TR250.
His name was Black Bart and fit me like a glove.
Sold him once and bought him back.
The second time was a dire emergency -
needed money to get one of my furbabies out of the vet.
I had been with that vet 5-6 years and that one time it felt like - he betrayed me.
**Threatened to put my baby down if I didn't come up with the Cash.**
Never had a cash flow problem in my life. 70's Recession and got laid off.
I understand he did that to a lot of people and is now OUT of business.
RE: Baring your soul on RV.NET???
Let me ask, did you really read all that?
I was having so much fun? I just wanted to keep on......
I believe I have nothing to hide. And that's a weight I'm just not going to tolerate.
RE: Baring your soul on RV.NET???
You kids might just want to skip to the next post.
Cause I'm laying it out here. Close your eyes. Start clicking something, NOW.
Or, the way you sound I want to ask who is holding a gun on you?
Speaking personally, I would rather Hear and try to help my fellow rvers and maybe keep them from doing to themselves whatever punishment they might feel they deserve at that moment.
Suppose they have absolutely no friends or family left except the Power Company, just suppose.....
And they are in one of those desperate moments, alone inside themselves, that they would give anything in the world to hear a voice that says "you're going to make it thru", you have a friend and I am here right now just for you.
You DON'T KNOW what they are feeling or going thru.
I am so selfish with the feeling I get, knowing, that just a few words or just listening could relieve that pain. I get wildly thrilled, knowing they made it thru one more time. (And check to see if they returned.)
I personally feel that I am "walking on egg shells" in this forum. The first several posts I made (tiny things) were jumped on so cruely; How could I not take it personally - it damn well was.
I tried to, give those people an excuse, for their cruelty and told myself it was "just some kind of funny initiation" just to see if I was real or, you don't want any more newbies! Hell, I still feel that way after 3 - 4 years.
I wonder about the lack of empathy. Were 'they' not born with a concience!
I, myself, have always been SO CAREFUL about what I said here because I enjoy it so, and wanted to be left with the feeling that I might be welcome. No matter that I know in my heart that this is just another of those highschool clicks.
I have always had to work to get the confidence to ask a question re my MOH or travel or camping or Whatever, because the probablity of being ignored or slammed cruely, runs about 75% here. For me.
Now, here goes, I myself are now Without A Soul on the earth except my Furkids (Smoak and Sadie), my motorhome, my Triumph, my vans and scooters, a couple of houses, and not a Damn bit of happiness in my life.
Not to mention the fear that I'll never see Mexico, the anxiety of Lonliness, the fear to even think about the deaths of my furbabies, the paralyzing terror of Old Age alone or with some ass that would expect ME to take care of HIM, and only God knows! how many side effects of PTSD, manic-depression, OCD (Monklike) and what seems to be a total tolerance to EVERY drug they ever gave me and I don't even care to drink anymore. Now that's sad!
Whew, that was a lot.
And, Oh My God, just the tip of the... what's that big icy thing.
Hi, I'm eve but have always wanted to be called kate? And I'm a real person.
Can I hear a big Hi Kate?!?!
Here goes, let's see what you do with this.
