They put her on it for a short while until she started having disturbing dreams, Gangs of New York type dreams where she was slicing people up. I hid all the knives in teh house until it was all out of her system.444Views0likes0CommentsRe: grand kids

That's what's kept us from hitting the road full time for about 7 years now. But yesterday, our 40th wedding anniversary we decided to start planning to do it in about a year. We have three grandkids, 2 girls 15 & 6 and a boy 11. The 15 y/o we only see every couple of weeks because she lives with her mother. The other 2 are very close to use as we are with them. But the older they get the more time they can do without seeing us. We figure ir they miss us that much and vice versa, we can take them with us in the summer. Nothing is gonna stop us this time. As much as we'll miss them we'll have the freedom to come back & see them.150Views0likes0CommentsRe: Contemplating A Lifestyle Change

Thanks Marine for all those years of sacrifice. Air Force myself. My wife is intimidated in a different way than I am. I'm intimidated at the complexities of parting with a physical home and all the years of accumulation. How do you handle medical situations when you don't have a home? How do you get your mail that you can't get electronically? I guess I could use a family members address for my mail then have them pack it up and send it to me periodically, but are there other alternatives? How do you maintain a drivers license if you don't have a physical address? These are just some questions I can come up with. I'm sure there will be more as time goes by. My wife, on the other hand, is intimidated at the idea of not having a physical, fixed location home. I tell her every day would be a vacation and an adventure. So she's the planner and could get us from where we're at now to where we want to be (on the road). I'm more the adventurer and can help her get over her concerns of not having a fixed address. We'd probably be looking at buying a used (no more than 10 year old) Class A diesel pusher. Not having had one, and with so many options, how does one know if they're getting ripped off or not, by a dealer OR a private seller? Where and when is the best place to find used motor homes? So many questions. So much to think about. My head hurts. :) Okay, time for sensory overload Tom Hi Tom, I'm an Air Force vet (4 years & out, '69-'73) and my wife is an AF brat.We have decided like you to hit the road full time some time in the next year, We don't own a house and getting out of our apartment lease is no problem. My main concern is that we both have Medicare with the United Healthcae Advantage Plan (right now still no premium). I don't want SSA or Medicare looking at us if we use a mail forwarding service. I know for licensing & registration each state is different but I'm not sure how that would affect our Social Security or Medicare. Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated.
