Participant[quote=Doooh] . . . Here’s the thing, you don’t have to blow loads to get away. We do everything dirt cheap. I don’t think most folks realize how cheaply travel can be had.
We travel in a truck and camper, we sleep in Walmart parking lots, and on forest land along the way. Truck stops work but they’re a little loud. We actually save $ on the road vs at work running the rat race if we care to. I’m not eating lunch out at work when were on vacation, though I’m very frugal that way too . . . [/quote]
Doooh, I DO realize how cheaply one can travel because I do it . . . and also drive all night if I have a second driver. I HATE paying for a rental car at my destination. And even if my host rented it for me on occasion, I had troubles learning how to turn on fog lights, open the gas tank and keep it from talking to me, etc. I like driving something I’m familiar with when I’m on vacation. I don’t want to have to “relearn” a strange vehicle when I’m supposed to be relaxing.
If you want to know which truck stops in the State of UT have coin-operated showers, just PM me. That and a little Visine and a giant Chevron coffee will get you back on the road :=]

FWIW – he’s not the stereotype welfare queen – he’s male, white, college educated, listens to Rush and Glenn and watches Fox News only… The hypocrisy drives me nuts. But you can’t pick family.[/quote]
I was in Florida recently and I was introduced to this guy who is a one man type construction contractor who works on small projects.
He claims that if you don’t listen to Glenn Beck you don’t know what’s going on.
He’s a White Canadian who married some girl for a Green Card then divorced her. He lives in Pinellas Park near Tampa where the rednecks live. Of course, he hires unauthorized immigrants to do work.
In Pinellas Park, I had the chance to visit the world’s busiest Walmart. In Istanbul you visit the Bazaar; and in Bangkok, you must go you to the Floating Market. I finally had my quintessential American cultural experience at the world’s busiest Walmart.

Participant[quote=Doooh][quote=zzz]Are you talking about welfare and SSI? Would you really want to have so little money to qualify, and would you be happy with that lifestyle not to mention what you cannot provide your children with? Also what message does that send to your kids, there are many to choose from, I’ll let you pick? Is your wife going to stay married to you living in poverty?[/quote]
I ment 1.5-2 years on unemployment making $13 and hour. I was also referring to Obama care.
If this health care fiasco isn’t squashed come 2014, I’d be stupid not to take full advantage of it. It is what Polosi said right? “We need to be free to live our dream, outside of worrying about health insurance” or something like that. I don’t think she understands the consequences of such thinking.
I’ll take her up on it though, and won’t think twice about morality. I quit, and you can pay for my health care. I’m sure as hell not going to be forced to pay for yours by making 6 figures a year. I’ve paid my fair share at a young age.
This is how you kill productive citizens.
Your right I’d go stir crazy if I were sitting at home for 2 years. But that’s not what the post is about.[/quote]
How much of our best, most innovative ideas came from 9-5 worker bees who were stuck in dead-end cubicle jobs because they were afraid of losing their health insurance? Like it or not, having the freedom of movement, from one job or idea to another — including “independent” work — is one of the best things that could happen to our society. What we have now is poison to our minds and bodies.
