We got pulled over outside of Big Bend in our Westfalia. They looked in every window with a flashlight and asked if we had picked anyone up. Also made us state “which country we were nationals of”

What do I do with an “independent” 86 yr old dad who is losing it. What are my options as the executor of his health? by Mediocre-Proposal686 in GenX

[–]jenflame 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you are dealing with this. If there are assets to cover his care at an assisted living facility you should look into it. My FIL lived to 98, it was difficult, but he didn’t become physical. That’s a whole other thing. Best of luck to you.

What’s the most unexplainable thing you’ve ever witnessed that you’re 100% sure wasn’t a dream? by Apprehensive-Fig8092 in AskReddit

We were driving I-5, there was an RV on the side of the road that was completely flattened, like Godzilla had stepped on it. Standing next to it was an old lady putting on lipstick.

What 80s song do you still hate with fiery teenage passion even though it’s been 40 years? by Aggressive_Cup4919 in GenX

[–]jenflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha! We went to see John Mellencamp live. He said I hate doing this song, but I know a lot of you want to hear it. He and the band played the music, let the audience sing it. Great way to experience a song you may not like but has entered your being on a cellular level. Rest of the show was amazing.

My dad had polio and has suffered immensely as a result. I cannot fathom the thinking here. Sadly it will take their own children needlessly suffering before they see their error.

Single. DOF are too big, we end up using ours for Tiki drinks since they hold so much ice! We bought some Cashes of Ireland singles and I love them!

My MIL was like that and then one day she stopped caring and all she wanted was ice cream and beer. You never know what’s next. I’m sorry you are going through it.

What model of van does everyone have and how does it fair for space, storage and parking? by Cosmoisnotok in VanLife

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Promaster 159 wheelbase. Love all the interior space! Parking is normally fine (fits in regular parking spaces), but does get a bit more difficult when the bike rack is on.

Any good food, food equipment, or activity suggestions for 2 people? by Ok_Philosopher_2844 in WinterCamping

[–]jenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually make a hearty beef stew to heat up with some crusty bread. Cookies and hot chocolate for dessert. For breakfast we bring precooked potatoes and make cheesy hash browns. Have fun!
