You buried it at sea??

As for views, this topic doesn't have any more per reply than Lois' Mercedes Carge Van thread.

I made a rock pile grave. It was appropriate. It is a dry creek bed.

That is too funny! I will have that image in my mind for a long time! :D
Another "sticker" as of late was the image (complete with sound" of Mick Jagger singing "Hey Hugh Hey Hugh! Get off of McCloud!"

uh guys and gals, I have my Mercedes, a mini camper from an import truck, a 22 ft travel trailer, and my 1987 Dodge Caravan to call home, and in a pinch, my Hyundai Pony rear seats flip forwards and I could sleep in it.

And of course I have my house, disaster that it is, BIG pow-wow with my plumber/electrician/waterspecialist in the next few days.
If he's got to take bits of the house apart to fix it, I'm either gonna fix Mercy's floor and sleep in there, or sleep in the mini camper (Its WARM!)

Mercy has more room though.

Hugs
Lois

Well goodness sake...I DO own my own home! I've been homeless for so long I forgot I bought my wonderful bus!

Although, I guess that still don't qualify me for the ahole list just yet (unlike Dennis who sucks big time)....Unless I can count my broken down Ford Ranger which I did sleep in 80% of last year???

It smells like butt in here lately

My house needs so much fixing, I think I'll fix the bus and move into it instead! Or move into Mercy after I fix the floor and put the window in, or my camper. Trailer is on last legs, it will be my next conversion project, 22 ft of trailer to make into (please don't laugh) a goathouse, because I've seen it done before and it works great.

I'll never put it on the road again as it has NO papers, so I'd have to claim it as salvage and get a new registration + I'm not sure about the frame, I may have to have it welded just behind the current kitchen and storage area + you don't DARE walk on the bathroom floor, or you'd fall through.

So it can be a stationary object after I have it pulled ahead about 10 feet and put it on blocks because the reach will be torched off for scrap.

I am keeping my friend in the scrap business happy. I'll have more for him when I've cleaned out the workshop and the "Back 40" area.

Take Care All

Okay Blu, quit giggling, its the truth. He left the house cold again this morning, he's a lousy cook when I'm sick and a mouthy pain in the rear who never grew older than 17.

Time to find me a good man who knows what Love really is, I'm tired of being treated like S**T (ie: sarcastic comments-he don't DARE hit me or I'd kill him)

You go, girl! No reason to keep somebody around that makes life hard and miserable...or selfish.

Life's too short....and gets shorter everyday :roll:

Lois, with a heart like yours, you deserve someone nice. Someone who sees the relationship as a partner.

I live alone. I don't necessarily like it that way, but I have had lousy luck in picking partners. I figure I am going to die alone and grumpy.

Perhaps, if I get right with God, He'll bring me someone.

Being the sinner that I am, I doubt that that will happen any time soon.

My dogs still love me though. They would take a bullet for me.
