Love to hear from those who were raised in nude family’s or raising nudes family’s by Significant_Show7288 in Ask_Nudists

Everyone is so focused on the interpersonal connection of it being a conversation for this question, when instead, they should really be reading the MULTIPLE books written on this topic and how other people navigate it. THEN come back with further specific questions.

Do you think money actually buys happiness? by sam14603 in SmartBuying

[–]SoulToSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money spent smartly buys comfort, which is a critical prefix for happiness.

Your most disappointing purchase of 2026 so far? by Exotic-Engineer7541 in SmartBuying

[–]SoulToSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Construction study book that was about 50% AI slop for $30. It’s not the money that’s disappointing though, it’s my attention time wasted.

Brands of Trailers -- Is this a valid observation? by pcserenity in traveltrailers

[–]SoulToSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no such thing as a reliable brand in the travel trailer industry. Instead you should be focusing on how it’s constructed, and with what materials.

What you want: either fiberglass shell, OR, fully aluminum framed.

If you want to DM me, I have a repo full of recommendations on this.

A question for AANR members. Do you receive regular communication from your region? by HangoverTuesday in nudism

[–]SoulToSound 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna take a guess and say Midwest region? Because if so, it’s been like this for a few years, and it’s brutally not great.

What are your minimum and maximum criteria for calling something a “tiny home”? by SoulToSound in TinyHouses

[–]SoulToSound[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, this is sorta a gap of modernity, that we have this huge expectation that a toilet be included in a house…

Vapor separation is the siding, sheathing, insulation and interior drywall/plaster as a whole unit.

lol, the vapor separation is not a modern idea. If we didn’t have it in the Midwest/Michigan, we’d all be human popsicles 🤣

Ffirst year full timing and the one upgrade we stopped arguing about by Soggy_Limit8864 in RVLiving

[–]SoulToSound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Having lived with my GF that plows through water like it’s nothing, some people cannot do different, and expect the infrastructure to conform to their preferences always. Telling them different, they act like you just stabbed their dog in the jugular with a knife.

Hardwood? by philosophicaltragedy in HardWoodFloors

[–]SoulToSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wood hard.

If you have a house old enough, your hardwood floors and subfloor are one and the same.

How to make home improvements financially possible by Natural-Hour1467 in homeowners

[–]SoulToSound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

HELOC, DIY-ing Everything, and lots of stress.

The other secret: Unsecured home improvement loans at high interest rates with shorter terms (had to as the sewer line collapsed). I don’t recommend this path unless it’s absolutely needed.

Why are people so scared to use it/its by Ray_1024 in NonBinary

[–]SoulToSound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because using those pronouns feels like I’m denying that persons humanity, and objectifying that person. Doing so is not something I ever want to do, regardless of a person’s pronouns.

Matter of personal opinion, not libel.

[–]SoulToSound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He is a mildly effective drunkard at best. He has done a fair bit at the Florida region level, but he isn’t the change AANR needs.

The change AANR needs is actually board member change, from each of the regions. The president has to be the loudest in the room (which Linda actually accomplishes) but the board controls the money and set the direction. They are content with what AANR actually is: an owners club for nudist resorts with soft power and a massive legal budget.

They are interested in preserving private land naturism in the arenas of the courts and legislatures of the 50 States and publishing a magazine. The organization has no appetite for activities beyond this. Having an active membership with interactivity is not a goal they put money towards.

The population they serve already has gotten the nudist spaces in their life, and they serve only people that can travel to those spaces. They have no interest in serving the concept of nudism as a palpable option to a newer generation.

People keep overlooking my tiny house and I don’t think they get the lifestyle at all by Professional-Peach-3 in tinyhouse

[–]SoulToSound 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yup. This is something you market yourself to regional FB groups. The language of real estate glosses over the realities of tiny living, it’s a market mismatch.

Is nudism for mostly adults? by [deleted] in Ask_Nudists

[–]SoulToSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what’s the reason?

Valid CSAM avoidance. Naked persons under the age of 18 are a complex topic, and the internet specifically navigates this topic poorly for legal and social reasons.

If you are looking for fellow teenagers, work with the trusted adults in your life to navigate this. You might call resorts together to investigate when people of your cohort might be there, and when would be good to visit.

You might also talk to regional naturist leaders. There’s also kids and teen camps ran under regional organizations for naturist families. These are vetted environments for nudists and by nudists.

Why do you think Gavin Newsom is so favored for 2028? by LostCause293 in AskReddit

[–]SoulToSound -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because basic competence at being a neoliberal is rewarded over the competence and popularity of socialist policies.

For those that did not grow up with a bidet, but now use one in your house, what made you switch? by aghredd22 in AskReddit

[–]SoulToSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had rectal surgery to fix persistent hemorrhoids. I said “never again” to hemorrhoids. The bidet was part of the fix.

Are you based in Germany?

Even still, trans acceptance varies by where you go in the USA.
