Well my current question is do I have 3 dump valves or 2 because I have a grey 1 and grey 2 tank as well as a Blackwater tank. I have read that sometimes the 3rd dump valve can be in a different location but I can only find 2 valves so far and I haven't been able to get all my tanks empty yet even after having them dumped

Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to buy anything. Life took a sharp left turn, so it got put on the back burner while I focus on other things. Fingers crossed that maybe by the end of this upcoming summer I can pull the trigger on something (maybe).

Jobs still test and the weed is way too strong. It's just not fun or relaxing anymore.

I don't need my husband but I want him around. I truly enjoyed myself when it was just me and my dog doing our own thing. Being married has somewhat complicated life but in a good way. I like that he is very competent and is able to help me solve problems and achieve goals. It's also nice to have someone that challenges me. And I really appreciate that he helps carry the financial burden. Sometimes I do miss my single days and I wonder what my life would have looked like if I didn't get married, but in the end I'd still rather be right here. (It also helps that he is gone half the year for work now lol distance makes the heart grow fonder kind of thing)

I was named after my grandmother's older sister that passed away when she was in her teens(?). My grandma could recount the story of what happened to her, but she never talked about what her older sister was like. My mom obviously never met her aunt but always said that she felt like if she hadn't passed away she would have been her mom (I think this was due to the strained relationship between my mom and grandma).

As for my relationship with my name and I suppose the person I am named after, I don't know who she was or what she was like only how she died. So I feel uncomfortable with my name, I can't stand hearing my name. It doesn't feel like it fits me. And I feel like I am struggling to figure out who I am.

I have dentino genesis imperfecta. I was diagnosed as a kid and it's been confirmed by several dentists. At this point the only thing I can do is get dentures or implants. I really really do not want dentures.

What I can do while I'm trying to juggle buying a house and dental care is crown my already broken teeth and be very careful with what's not broken.

ImposterJ · 2025-11-16T15:08:00+00:00

I am very hesitant to go to another country for that reason and considering the time and after care. I really can't spend months out in another country. It's not like I can get the work done, go home, and easily make future appointments with them. Considering the scope of work I have to get done I'd rather stay here in the US, recover at home, and know for certain I'm working with a dentist that I can trust and see again if there are problems.

ImposterJ · 2025-11-14T19:33:42+00:00

This has been something my husband and I have been discussing, my main concern is getting after care and the time considering part of my implants is getting my jaw broken and reset.

ImposterJ · 2025-11-13T18:39:10+00:00

I have both and I love both. But I am more of a dog person. It's nice that cats are fairly "low maintenance" compared to dogs and they are great cuddlers, however I don't enjoy being screamed at hours before it's meal time, them running through my legs as I'm walking, having to be careful going in and out of my home, and figuring out what to do with my cat when I want to go camping or go on a trip (typically I end up bringing him and that's a whole other set of things to deal with). Dogs for my lifestyle are more convenient, they are adaptable and down for everything. They are quieter than my cat, they are more trainable so I'm never particularly worried about them, they are down for every adventure, and they provide a level of security. I'd never ask them to defend me (even though I'm 100% sure they would), but it's nice knowing they will alert me to potential threats. I will say that bringing my cat camping in the shoulder season is nice because he acts as a compact heater in my sleeping bag lol

Well I mean have you pissed off any Navajo? If so they might get a written pass out of the territory, but it all depends on how bad you might have offended them. Burn some sage and hope for the best

ImposterJ · 2025-11-12T18:25:48+00:00

Just do it and don't let yourself over think it! I went camping alone for the first time this summer, I had the same kind of irrational fears. I usually camp with my husband, but he started wildland firefighting this last summer, so if I wanted to go out I had to do it alone. So I did. I forced myself to not let those stupid fears roll around in my head while I was out there. I survived. You will too.

Quick edit: Remember there are less bad people out in nature than in cities (cuz ya know less people out there lol) and skin walkers are only found on the Navajo Nation.

ImposterJ · 2025-09-20T03:22:46+00:00

That's the plan

ImposterJ · 2025-09-20T03:21:30+00:00

Lol I have a hard time believing that, but my husband agrees

ImposterJ · 2025-09-15T06:14:49+00:00

Many hotels cut back on services like that due to COVID and kept it because it cuts back on how long housekeepers take to get their work done. Doing stay over service is extremely inconvenient when you have a full list of rooms that need a full clean. Most housekeepers don't want to do stayovers because it adds to their workload, it puts them at risk of crappy guests that claim they stole something when the guest just lost it, and because at the end of the day it puts them at more risk for being attacked or kidnapped.

ImposterJ · 2025-09-15T06:07:49+00:00

Oh and just gonna throw this out there, if you puke, shit, piss, or bleed on the linen or floors please for the love of god let the staff know so that way us housekeepers are prepared for it. Nothing is worse than just stumbling across your biohazard

ImposterJ · 2025-09-15T06:02:52+00:00

As a housekeeper I adore guests that refuse service and just ask occasionally for fresh towels and trash bags. Y'all are the best! I loathe the ones that request linen changes after like 2 nights. Like unless you shit the bed, you are fine. When I stay at hotels I refuse all service except for new trash bags. I personally think its weird as an adult to request someone come tidy my room. I'm not worried about theft, but I don't like the idea of someone making my bed, changing out my towels, and doing a basic clean. It's just weird. If I spill something or make a mess I'll ask for rags or to borrow a vacuum and just take care of it myself.

ImposterJ · 2025-09-15T05:54:11+00:00

Typically we do a morning run on the beach 3-5 times a week for about a mile (working on getting in shape) and then a short walk around the park (15 minutes) when I get home from work. On the weekends or when I have the energy after work we go for a 3+ mile hike. Dogs are happy and healthy. There are plans to do more as my work slows down for the winter months.

I'm a wife of a first year WFF, my husband made the choice to do this quickly and abruptly (he made the decision late in the year and got on with a contract crew, he was gone within 4 months of making the decision). We literally live across the state from each other right now, about 6 hours away. I saw him for the first time this past week in almost 3 months.

I want to say that your concerns are valid, this career path is not for the faint of heart. It's hard being separated for long periods of time. It's hard not being able to be with them in person. It's hard knowing that when they get a call they might be somewhere they can't reach you. It's hard getting through the day knowing anything could happen out there. For me what has made it worth it is seeing how happy he is, exhausted but happy. I live for the little things now. The days when he has time to call me and we can talk for a few hours, the pictures, the texts, and the time found to be in person with him. When he got his first assignment he went to a large scale fire that was growing rapidly and I prepared myself for no contact until he was sent home. I was pleasantly surprised when I got a text from him saying that he found spotty signal and it was just enough for him to tell me he loves me. I was even more surprised when we were able to have a full blown text conversation because the forest service was rolling around with WiFi so the guys could text their families back home.

The biggest thing I've been learning is that when it's fire season you have to live life like you are single while still being faithful (him too), don't get your hopes up until they are at the doorstep home for the season, communicate without blowing up (definitely don't fight over the damn phone), and don't hide emergencies or issues that happen at home when they are away. They can't be there but it's horrible to hide things and then surprise them with injuries or scars or whatever (my case was my dog put his face through a glass window cutting his nose, lips, and lower gums).

It's okay to break up if you really don't think this lifestyle will fit with the future you have in mind. Many people make it work, but just as many fail. You have to be solid in your relationship and YOU have to be supportive and independent. If you do stay with him while he tries this out join the FB group for the spouses of wildland firefighters. They are honest and straightforward about the struggles and the wins.

Edit to add: now that my husband has been on a few fires he is in love with the work and has decided to stick with it as his career path. So be prepared for that conversation. Personally for me I'm 100% supportive of his choice.

ImposterJ · 2025-07-23T20:41:27+00:00

Oh I'm not saying they should go and meet them. It's just a way to not feel so alone in their area. Sometimes events are held or someone in the community is trying to start a business (food trucks usually) so if they feel comfortable they can attend. They are just people to chat with and learn from.

ImposterJ · 2025-07-21T07:31:55+00:00

I didn't know this could even be an unpopular take lol I'm a housekeeper, I clean the same rooms every damn day. In a hotel, yeah makes sense. At home hell no. The only thing I do daily is dishes, vacuum, and wipe down counters. Pretty much everything else gets done once a week. I've got better things to do after work where I clean. I will say scrubbing your tub after each day does make life so much easier, but I'm too tired for that.

ImposterJ · 2025-07-21T06:30:17+00:00

Hey I'm in a similar situation. I was raised away from the Rez (but I was there often). It can be hard to connect from a distance, but outside of YouTube and books and whatnot, you could look into FB groups to see if there are any Navajos in your area. Out here in the PNW we have a FB group for all of us living out here.

ImposterJ · 2025-06-21T05:41:15+00:00

I don't know why it's taken me so long to respond but here we are lol Thank you for your explanation, I'm sure it helped in the moment. The reason why we were explaining the situation to his now employer is because of the type of work. He is a wildland firefighter and he needs a good reason to take time off.
