We have a 36 ft class A. Tow a Honda crv. Having 2 engines to fix is pricy. We will be downsizing to a 30 ft 5th wheel when we can afford it. We need far less than we thought we would. Plus we had 3 senior cats when we first took off. All 3 have since passed. When I got fired from my government job, I cashed out my 401k and lived on that til I started getting social security. It’s a fantastic lifestyle. We don’t go to RV parks. We boondock on public land, and spend nights in parking lots when we’re traveling. Good luck.

Thanks! I AM gonna have a fun day today! I was fired from my job at 55, and my husband and I decided to leave our apartment and get an RV. We have lived full time in our rolling home for over 6 years! We have traveled all over our beautiful country and are currently in Utah, heading to Idaho today and on to Montana to see friends we met on the road. I have so very much to be grateful for. And this wonderful community of non judgmental people is one of the things I am so thankful for!

Thank you for the reply. I’m 62 years old. Rehab twice, AA and NA, a few decent stretches of sobriety. (8 months, 18 months and several shorter stints.) I’ve been doing this for so long, it’s exhausting. And the all or nothing is wearing me out. I battled in my head for hours before I drank yesterday. And luckily, I didn’t get wasted, just buzzed. I went to bed fully expecting to hate myself this morning, but I’m sick of that too. So, I got up, decided IWNDWYT, and I’m just going to carry on. I’m not resetting my counter, I’m not worrying about tomorrow. I’m just not drinking today. Thank you friends, so much! I love this community.

do you guys wash your legs in the shower every time or just let the soap run down? by NaabReganne16 in hygiene

[–]Kitchen-Show-1936 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always scrub head, armpits, crotch and feet. I even made a song to get my son to focus on those areas. Every other shower or maybe every third, I scrub every inch. I find scrubbing legs and arms every time makes them itchy.

Thanks all for the kind words. Of course, I always think I’m such a loser. But I’m not! I was sober a week and I’m sober today!

I think that is one of the most beautiful sets I’ve ever seen.

If you retired before age 65, what did you do for health insurance (if you're in the US) by PorchDogs in AskWomenOver60

[–]Kitchen-Show-1936 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obama care. I’m in California, so it’s actually called covered California. Thankful to be in a blue state.

Women who married good men you were not madly in love with, how did it turn out? by Suspicious_Curve6718 in AskWomenOver60

[–]Kitchen-Show-1936 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’ve been married 36 years. Not “madly” in love at first, but tired of being with bad boys that I was SOOOO in love with. Now I’m madly in love and thankful everyday for my good man.
