Yeah, Hollywood has not been too helpful to the industry, considering they rely heavily on them for the poor actors to rest their weary behinds in between scenes.

Newmar was a big customer of mine, and they build a terrific unit. As you know, there are plenty of great RVs that don't require nearly the cabbage of a King Aire. Whatever you choose, I know you'll have a blast!

@PearlClutcher - My father worked in sales for manufactured homes as well as recreational vehicle manufacturers his entire adult life. After he retired, he delivered motorhomes as a 'something to do' job. My mother made him sell his beloved 28' Titan Class A when he was in his late 70's. (She was right, it was starting to need a lot of repairs, and his dementia was kicking in.) My husband has been in purchasing for motorhome mfgrs for most of his adult life, and I have been in sales for RV suppliers for most of my adult life.

It's not. ( ; Though I don't make a habit of it, I can tell you that my car can travel at least 2 miles after the screen displays '0 miles remaining'. Sorry about your mess.

Wow!

For the cat people - I came across this site when doing some research about cat diets. There is a long post from a clearly knowledgeable person about cat food/diets that is very interesting & informative, and links to more info. The specific post is on page -1-, and written by ldg. https://thecatsite.com/threads/is-fancy-feast-truly-horrible-for-cats.250714/ Oh man, that stinks. I loooove redbud trees~

Hey, that's encouraging! Now to find the Car Warranty and IRS assholes and fine their asses! I'm in the Great Lakes region, and I think I say either or both actually, lol. Referencing the Brazillian Blowout, a salon procedure. Or a car tire mishap.

I wouldn't be surprised if 30 years from now, this will be known as the Kardashian Era. I'm planning on being daft and sitting in a nursing home drooling on my liquid knit schmatta, so I won't be the wiser, hopefully. Good luck, and I hope you can find a local chapter! I didn't Google this before I wrote to you about it, and I'm not sure if UCS is a national organization. I did however find this link which also might be helpful: navigating-cancer-care

You probably already know this, but in case you don't...United Cancer Services is an organization that assists folks financially, if I understand correctly. They may do other things as well, not sure. They will help with gasoline for your car to get you back and forth to appts., or taxis if unable to drive, etc. A girlfriend who was battling inflammatory breast cancer received $500 toward a wig, and she was still working a decent job at the time, with a retired husband, and they weren't destitute by any means. I'm not sure what all they can help with, but if you have a local or regional chapter, I'd look them up. Best to you~

Here's a tidbit that may be a skosh less maddening, but still evokes a serious head shake from me. A three year old business: casamigos

This makes my gut hurt - launch-party

Yay for the no cancer! Boo for the 'another specialist'. Good news.

Wow, what an awesome menagerie you have! I'm a little jealous~

So sorry for your losses, but glad you're here to share it with us~

Well, I don't want to be presumptuous, but that all sounds like pretty good news to me! I hope you agree, and again, best wishes are headed off to Joe and to you. It is your family's illness isn't it? Take good care.

Sorry about your little girl PearlClutcher. I know she brought you joy~

I've seen talk of pups, but can't remember who it was. I actually love all the creatures, but never had the lifestyle that allowed for dogs; gone too often, and frankly a little selfish with my time, which is hard enough with kitties (they don't like absence either). We are slowing down a bit now, but I just can't see myself adapting to the demands of dog ownership. I love 'em though, and glad my neighbors have dogs that I can spoil, love on, and send home, lol.

My hubs is also a 'never again' or 'not now' person when we've lost a kitty. I know it's because he's hurt, and I think he finds it disrespectful to the dearly departed. Before our current two, we had lost the 2nd of our last beloved pair unexpectedly and soon after hubs had been let go from his job of 23 yrs. (2 days after turning 60 and returning from a 3 week health absence - cowinkydink right?) He was depressed already, then we lost our Tawny. I made a pest of myself about going to the local Humane Society and I'm so glad we did. We found Onyx and Pearl as cage mates, both about 6 wks old and they were ready to get the hell out of there! They were ours 3 days later, he was home to "train them", and it was a welcome distraction for him while he searched for work. I'm still glad that I made a pest of myself over it. They made a rough period of our lives a lot more pleasant, and are still enriching us every day.

Oh gosh, you're right. Hang in there @Bronx Babe ~

What an amazing story! Love this <3

Those are great names! When you want to reply to a specific post, go to the bottom of it, and on the far left side, click the quote marks icon. The icon with the +" is for replying to multiple posts I think, but I haven't ventured into that territory, lol.

Yes, thinking of you @Cricket We'll be thinking of you easterners! Stay safe~!

Bless his soul. I've known many people that have done this.

Really sorry about your little boy. Someday, when it doesn't hurt so much, maybe you'll consider rescuing another little boy or girl, and add that joy to your life again!

The more I read about him, the more I want to know him! I went to this site, and found this sentence in the bio for his book: " A former opera singer, Rowe began his career in television hawking dubious merchandise on a cable shopping channel and slowly worked his way up to the sewer." Love it.
