    What do you for personal safety?

    If someone other than a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant tries to attack you, will it still work? How about a Mexican Catholic, or a Black Baptist?

    Time for a fan!

    Used it rain or shine, hot or cold, moving or stopped. It came from an RV shop, and was made for all seasons. I wired up the fan so it ran both directions and also wired up a rheostat so I had variable speeds. Worked great. Never had any kind of damage.

    Time for a fan!

    Had a roof vent and fan in my C/V mounted just over the bunk. It had a hood on it that kept out the rain. It helped in the summer keeping the A/C working better even when the truck was moving.

    Is a Toilet too much to ask for?

    Dakota sez: "The peepee bottles on the side of the road are also high class." Obviously these guys aren't long time EO readers. They must not have read about The Old Prof's Professional Preferred Patented Plastic Pee Pipe. Whatever you use, it can be emptied in a drain, rinsed with water and...

    Rls

    cheri sez: "The Prof's RLS doesn't seem to be related to anything you do, though, and is very odd: not pain, but a need to move your legs constantly when lying down. " Yes, there was pain. Lots of pain. That's why I am so happy with this simple solution

    Rls

    This isn't strictly for women, but it could and you're most likely to dawg your menfolk. Went to the family doc recently for other stuff. My knees have ached all my life. Told doc I had to stretch my legs out, bend my legs, tighten my knees constantly to try to keep the pain down when I'm in...

    Would Heloise approve?

    Nice part about being old and my memory shot is that I can read a book and about a month later read it again. It's like I vaguely remember what's going on, but not exactly. Usually all I can recall is that the book ends on the last page. Most of my magazines I read and then pass to my brother...

    Short Arms, Clean Windshields

    Of all my recent medical problems, knee replacement, heart attach, stroke, malignant tumor and removal of a kidney, I also have adhesive capsulitas of both shoulders. In other words they hurt when I move them. When the windshield of my Impala become so dirty on the inside I couldn't see...

    Christmas Dinner Traditions

    Hey, pjjjjj, just 'cause I'm retired it doesn't mean I can suddenly cook. Just what I need is a house full of guests puking all over the place. I can make a mean pot of chicken and noodles. Great with preparing Cheerios. Pbj sammies are also a specialty. I can order carry out with the best...

    This year we are going to invite Chef Olive from Olive Garden to prepare a feast for us. We haven't decided what Chef Olive will create. We are still drooling over the carry out menu.

    Adding "ICE"

    The name of my home is "Home". My wife's name is on it, but I didn't put it on the forum.

    Adding "ICE"

    I added "1 ICE HOME" and "2 ICE WIFE CELL" to my cell phone when I read about it here a couple years ago. The reason I used 1 and 2 is because the numbers 1 and 2 will be at the top of my list when someone presses "Contacts". A first responder won't have to scroll down through the contacts to...

    Shoulder injury

    ihamner. Get some Biofreeze and rub it on the sore spots. It is the modern day Ben Gay. It's good stuff. You can get it from chiropractor offices and some drug stores. I practically bathe in it every night before I go to bed. Both knees and both shoulders. Try it.

    Anniversary Trouble

    We have a few days before the actual anniversary. We might not make it. The other evening I was tucking an ice pack thingie under her left thigh and moved her hip the wrong way. She let out a scream and yelled unlady like language. She may kill me before this is all over.

    Anniversary Trouble

    She's home with her nice, new, shiny replacement hip. Walked in the house on her walker, past the new tall clock and didn't even notice. Sat in a chair facing away from the clock. She finally noticed it a little later when she got up and walkered down the hall to lie down in the bed. She...

    Anniversary Trouble

    A Team, your weed whip story reminds me of a story my sister in law told about when she was a checker outer at the K Mart. Close to Valentines day a little girl and dad came through the check out. She asked what the little girl was getting her mommy for Valentines's day. She showed what it...

    Anniversary Trouble

    Thanks for the replies. Her REAL anniversary present is going to be a nice new shiny hip replacement. That is pretty much going to rule out the dinner and dancing part. Dinner will probably be a frozen dinner or Pizza King delivery.

    Anniversary Trouble

    Need some input from the ladies. A couple posters have announced anniversaries recently. My wife and I will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary very shortly. I had bought my wife something that costs about 20 bucks. I mentioned to her that I had something picked out for her anniversary...

    Ladies I need your help

    Hey, Ark. You might try what I have thought of many times. Get a photo of her family and tell her "This is what I have rescued you from". That might make her grateful to you, or really Pi$$ her off.
