RE: How long are you going to keep your current travel trailer?
This is our future retirement home (on wheels). We bought it for just that reason.

We watch it more for the places they visit until they get down to about six couples. By then, we select someone to root for.

RE: I've been going to the grocery store with
If you really want to see some shocking clothing, go to a high school :E
I do "guest speaking" at local high schools, and I am shocked at what some parents let their young girls wear, and that the schools allow it. It is no wonder all the little boys can think about is....my gosh.
I'll bet the school has a dress code but if administrators don't enforce it then you can bet the teachers won't support it either.

I can't answer that without more information. Can you tell me the names of the grocery stores and the days and times you visit?

RE: College football - week 4
USF has a supposedly softie this week in Fla Atlantic. Those are the games that scare the heck out of me. The ones you should win big, sometimes turn out to be nailbiters.

RE: Wind, wind everywhere! (Long)
Welcome to Planet Earth. We hope you enjoy your visit.
I'm really sorry about your misfortune but (this won't directly be addressed to you) when officials tell you to evacuate, EVACUATE! If you are told a storm of any type is heading toward you, PREPARE! Don't wait until the last minute. The time to plan is months previously. I have a couple of friends who are first responders. I don't want to visit their families and offer my sympathies for their loss. Before moving here to ARKUSA where we thought we'd be safe from hurricanes, we lived in FLAUSA. We used the winter to prepare for the hurricane season. We stocked up on everything and had evacuation routes. One of the first things we did when we bought the house was to buy the plywood and fit them to windows so they would be marked and ready to go when hurricane season rolled. around. Now, we are preparing for any winter, ice and/or snow, storm that may hit us. Nothing will surprise us because we plan ahead.

RE: If you could have one vehicle back what would it be?
That's an easy one for me. My first car in 1968 was a 1960 El Dorado convertable. Black exterior, white ragtop, red leather interior. At $.19 a gal. everyone had to contribute to fill that beast up. Only problem I ever had with it were the air brakes. They wouldn't hold up so every morning when I went out to start it up, the front end was pointing up and the tail was about an inch off the ground. Took a couple of minutes before it leveled off. My doctor sold it to me for a ridiculously low price ($800.00)if I would teach his two boys how to play baseball. Wow! What a car.

RE: Baring your soul on RV.NET???
Okay, before this post gets closed for political comments, let me say that I too am amazed by the people here who post such personal information. I make a point of never reading them because, at least for me, it's like watching a car/train wreck. I don't know you and I don't want to know your personal problems. I don't want to know about your surgeries, health issues, etc. Those are family matters and are best left for discussion with them.

RE: Fast Food....I remember some of these.......
Pardon me, but I still remember some of those things. My kids do too. No they're not that old, but I made sure they knew about it and they're doing the same thing now with their kids, (my grandkids). I wouldn't allow my kids to take things for granted. My grandkids don't either. When my grandson went on a field trip a couple of years ago to an early 20th century replica town he was the only one in his class to recognize the items around the homes and how they were used. That's my boy's boy.

RE: Watchcamping
They do this in Alaska for workcampers so it must be a good idea.
How do you figure that?

RE: College football - week 2
USF Bulls 31 UCF Knights 24. It wasn't as close as the score would indicate. Jim Leavitt doesn't usually make coaching mistakes but throwing the ball with 3:43 to go in the fourth instead of running the clock out, led to an interception and too close of a game.

RE: My LAST first day of school
Musing this AM about life. After a long teaching career and nearing 60, I will be going to my last "first day of school" tomorrow. Between my own student years, college, my kid's school years and my teaching career, I have been on the school calendar for 55 years now. The calendar in my head and on my kitchen wall runs from September to August. That first day excitement and jitters are there.
I have seen a lot of change in schools over many years. Some good, many not so. I love my job teaching kids but have really come to be worn down by No-Child-Left-Behind and other unfunded, impossible mandates placed upon schools and teachers. I applaud high standards but they MUST make sense and be attainable.
Sometimes I so yearn for the good old days - when kids came to school ready to learn and were respectful, parents were involved with their kids and their education, and the state actually paid for basic education providing enough textbooks and supplies.
The last day of school will be a mixture of sadness and excitment. I have a passion kids and teaching but feel the time is here to go "play" and enjoy a slower pace. The RV sits there waiting to go to Alaska next summer and other places the school calendar simply does not allow. Life has also shown me that it can sometimes be short and tomorrow may never come.
So, here's to a wonderful last school year. I will work hard to maintain a positive attitude when I get another directive affecting how I teach and fight creating the best learning enviornment and teaching for my kids. I will give the kids the best year I can. 180 days and counting.............. the RV keys await.
Good for you. I didn't have a plan for this year to be my last year in the classroom but health reasons may make it so. Make as much as you can and try to remember the good things and not so much the bad.

RE: Everybody likes fluffy white bunnies
Before this closes I wanted to say that you are arguing about apples and oranges. The value of the workkamping experience is what you will get/place on it. If I could get a year round position that would reguire us to register campers after hours and on the weekend end we would stay there forever. I would consider the full hook up site with cable and WiFi to be plenty of compensation but anything else would be add on luxuries. Other work would require more compensation in a mutually agreed upon decision. That being said it holds true for everyone who wants to workkamp and IS DIFFERENT for each person. A full hook up site in the great outdoors is enough for me and I understand it may not be for you so don't take the job.
