Pandora: Stick figure

I would make such a terrible movie critic. This was one of the first videos I watched before I hit the road. I never noticed the music until just now. But I do remember some of the info and it has proven useful. But of course now I will never be able to watch it again without focusing on such a...

My belief has been, the best way to avoid a fight is not be there when it starts. Weapons can be useful if you know how and are willing to use them but they can be deadlier if taken from you. Defensive weapons such as bear spray and tasers can certainly be useful. But your best weapon is the...

I am genuinely pleased when I come across a solo woman traveler, which is sadly rare. If a conversation is had, being a solo traveler is never a topic, neither is sex or relationships (except as a general topic). I see no reason, nor do I have the right, to question someones ability or right to...

Speaking only for myself, I too have many regrets. Missed chances at love, moments of weakness and betrayal of my character, deception, dishonesty et.al. But my biggest regret is not loving myself as much as I have counseled others. For the greatest part of my life I have tried to be a guide and...

Great work I hope to get the chance to rebuild my van. But I wonder if the stopping at all RR xing sticker is a good idea unless you really do. Jk great idea for stealth.

About 2 or 3 months ago I found a small lump on one of my testicles. Im going into the VA Monday and get it checked out. Im no hypocondriac and detest pharmaceuticals. I have little faith (read no) in the benevolence of the medical and pharmaceutical industry, particularly relative to the VA...

Welcome to STP...plenty of answers to your questions here.

I was introduced to AA when I was young, my mom had a drinking problem. I too later found myself forced into AA after I joined the Navy. Apparently I was setting too high a standard for the term drunken sailor. My first 4 years were defiance but I later found 'serenity in sobriety'. I too...

If anyone needs some vehicle repair for a good price let me know. I met this guy through a friend. He knows what he's doing, and wont kill you for labor costs. Hes not going to rebuild your engine however, he will do most emergent repairs. For obvious reasons Im not going to post his info here...

Family needs have caused a change in plans and I can't make it. But I'd be happy to pitch in some $ after the 1st (pension thing). Any info on where to send it? Otherwise just send as regular donation?

I will be making every effort to show up. Since all I do is wander, I will be offering up a ride as the time approaches and once I know where I will be departing from.

Came across this article if anyone is interested. I'm not a huge fan of Micky D's but a cheap meal is a cheap meal. http://designtaxi.com/news/400615/McDonald-s-Is-Serving-Most-Of-Its-Sandwiches-At-US-1-For-The-Rest-Of-Summer/ Hope it helps

Moving and inspiring.

Some awsome ideas!

It's always great to hear of others who discover the empathy in thier hearts that open the spiritual eyes to love and the real purpose of it. Perhaps our paths may cross some day but in any event stay focused on the peace and love. Keep a smile in your heart; even when facing adversity...

Damn that hurt my brain. I think you would need acid to follow that one!::dead::

Welcome. Best to you in your search.

Yes I am glad I survived. In retrospect however, most of it was poor arrogant decision making on my part; but I laugh thinking about it alot...it took me a while just to get through writing it; I was laughing so hard. I love not having to take myself so serious anymore.

:rolleyes: As we said in the Navy...'any port in a storm.' Im not gay, bi, or straight I am just a human with desires and needs. But if you want to hang a label on me...just call me HORNY!

Welcome, best of luck to you.

When I first hit the road I was probably at best brain dead from all that had happened in the previous year and half. I was laid off, lost my house in the So Cal area (sold upside down), blew through my 401k, getting rid of my possesions to try and stay afloat, and finally had to move out of...

Welcome and enjoy, let life be your college.

Thank you for the greeting none the less. I have to say so far it has been beyond great. I can't imagine ever going back to the life I had before. I still don't know why I didn't hit the road after I retired from the Navy. Probably one of the most moronic things I ever did...but thats ok...I am...

Nice concept, well desingned and built...not too sure of the white though. Think I would go more rustic

How'd you get a half a pinky back? I ditched Ca for Wa. As I undetstand it, each county determines the registration requirements. in Stevens county (north of Spokane) no proof of insurance, no safety check, no smog. Transfered my license with no questions asked. I used a friends address as a...

I left home at 16 and managed to join the Navy at 17 and stayed 20 years. Sadly I screwed up and got a job bought a house and all that crap, wasted about 16yrs. Got laid off in '14 and decided I was done playing to the corporate dream. But back to the topic; for me this is my retirement, I...

If mental health is based upon the normal in society, looking around, we are all in a heap of shit.

When I hit the road last Aug, I really had no idea what I was doing, looking for or plan to make anything happen and I was in a big rush to get 'on the road'. It seems my biggest hurry was to become free of the cares, that come with living within the constraints, of suburbia. I have since...

Hi all, I joined a couple of months ago but have not really had time or wifi signal to introduce myself. As I put in my profile, I retired from the navy at 37 and worked for about 15 years before deciding I would rather travel than work. So I sold all I had, loaded my 2 dogs (3 when I...
