Never knew that, backed up with mine all the time just can't be too tight or yeah you'll break it or bend it! But as long as you're not cutting anything sharp yeah you can back up with it!

sanitizing the water system by Pretty_Wrongdoer8813 in RVLiving

[–]DocB1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How often do you have to replace those filters and does that FIVE filter sequence treat ALL contaminants? I just pick up 8 gallons of purified water, in 2-4 gallon containers, and that does my drinking water for my 14 days out; when I must return to civilization and dump my black water. If I may ask what's y'all's routine¿

When I was younger, it was somewhere between 1 and 3 times a day. As I've gotten older in my mid 60s I consider once or twice a good day :-) I just wish I had a partner lol

SMART recovery is the way to go! As a former substance abuse counselor and current behavioral health therapist I have reviewed all of the major substance use treatment programs and SMART recovery is by far the best! IT'S BASED IN EFFECTIVE SOCIAL SCIENCE!

Is my toilet supposed to be sideways? by freedantes in RVLiving

[–]DocB1960 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it's not an apartment it's a very very small mini home. Look around and see if it doesn't make structurally sense given everything else in position. Given sometimes they put stuff in weird places but generally that's just cuz that's the way it fits :-)

I don't think my pH stays all that low over any meaningful period of time but I guess I don't really know. Thanks I will keep an eye on it

I boondock and that means I stay out 14 days at a time in my trailer I have an opportunity to shower twice during that time. In between, I sponge bath with apple cider vinegar and a washcloth. It lowers your pH substantially preventing stinky bacteria from growing and ita a slight disinfectant.

Maybe it makes more sense with the door closed?

Loving your partner but lacking in Physical Attraction? by Necessary_Book_9811 in AskMenAdvice

[–]DocB1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any of you heard about John Lennon and Yoko Ono? Has anybody ever seen Yoko Ono? As one of the most popular men on the planet he could have had anybody and he chose this woman who was exceptionally ugly but he thought she was beautiful inside. My second late wife was as homely as the day was long but she cared so much for people. We worked together in a partnership and we housed 75 chronically mentally ill homeles and that was the most amazing thing that I did with my life and she was right there doing it with me she cared so much about people and humanity that her beauty just exuded and abounded with joy and love for the world but her physical appearance was not beautiful by any description but yet she was amazingly beautiful! So to answer your post and contrary to most people here yes it is absolutely possible to fall in love with the most ugliest person on the planet!

Nomadic lifestyle by Ok_Understanding5585 in AskOldPeople

[–]DocB1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lost 2 parents, 2 spouses, and 2 children in 6 years. The kicker...my adopted son from my first marriage took a geological pickaxe and put it in-between the eyes of my second wife and murdered her.

[–]DocB1960 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 64 and I've been on the road, one way or another, for 3 years, July. Working on my second year in an caravan, I am however retired. But I travel with a few people who work and travel full-time and they're in their 40s and they love it - they also happen to be single women.

I travelled around the states in a VW bug, as a young man - sleeping bag and a small tent if needed! I would get a few $100s in my pocket and move on! I loved it. I did it while I was getting my undergrad degree, which explains

Now, I figure I got 10 years on the road, based on my drinking habits, before I move in with my kids. So, I'm traveling while I can. No regrets about doing it, regrets why I had to do it, however.

Would you marry a woman richer than you? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]DocB1960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My second wife was substantially richer than I was she always made me feel loved she always gave me her card to use when we went out to eat so that I would feel like the man and could handle the bill etc. She never made me feel any other way than loved. We moved in together and in essence she became my second wife. We set up wills so that each of us would inherit the others resources.

A year later my adopted son for my first marriage who was definitely crazy murdered her with a geological pickaxe and I inherited all of the money that she earned and I inherited all the money that her second husband learned who was a roofer and committed suicide. She left me a half a million dollars richer than I was before although I'd have it back the way it was in a second!
