  1. I wish I had space for one of these. I already have a Clam taking up a lot of room, though.

  2. I made the decision to bring along all my spices so that I don't need premixed seasonings. I don't like the packets.

  3. Great interview, Carol. What a wonderful couple. 🙂

  5. Love me some chicken salad. I make it for my son but I don't eat it myself. I save it for him since it does cost more using organic ingredients. Once I'm alone and on the road, I hope to also enjoy it.

  6. You're a blessing to us, as well, Carol. Thank you. 🕊😘

  7. I don't have access to that card yet. Lol. Oh my! That poor guy. Lol. I suppose it was a good thing that you did that. He surely learned a lesson. 🤣

  8. I would be interested in dog or cat-sitting outside of national parks, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I have a love for animals but I'm not some kind of certified sitter.

  9. Yeah, vans are easier in that they have exposed metal for magnet usage. I'm going to have to glue magnets onto the plastic pillars. That should be fun. Lol.

  10. What a great outlook on life. I'm far from a minimalist, but I'm striving to be one. Lol.

  12. Hopefully the new administration won't be stupid enough to cut funding for those citizens in need.

  13. I had to end a life-long relationship with my best friend many years ago when I was very ill. It was hard on her and I both, but I couldn't manage it anymore. She wasn't especially "toxic", but rather an energy vampire. A kind of hybrid, if you will. I wish her the best in life.

  15.  @gloriouslifeonwheels3621  Oh, it does take a long time for the long videos. It just seems longer for the heavily-edited ones. Our different experiences may be due to our different editing software. Mine is junk. Lol. All I know is that it would be ridiculous for me to depend on youtube or a digital job for income once I hit the road. Lol. Even on my 12-day trip to Idaho to get my rig I experienced many times without signal--let alone one that was as strong as I get here in my sticks-and-bricks. It can take a long time for one long video, even here.

  16. Oh my, Carol! I'm glad a stranger was so helpful to you and got your van turned around. What an ordeal. 😬

  17. Me, too. Lol. 😁

  20. I have met many decent people through Freecycle. I haven't taken anything from it, but I've given away tons of stuff through that avenue, and made several like-minded friends.

  21. Awesome. 👍

  22.  @kellys1458  Yes, and sometimes different is worse. Let's hope for the best, though.

  23.  @janiswilliams2766  Well, it's a heck of a lot better than the alternative--which was leading us down the communist path. I personally don't think we should have anyone controlling us...

  25. I'm not sure how much I'll actually use the oven, tbh. I just want to make sure to have one in case I'm camping with others and have someone to bake for. If it's just me then I probably won't bake very many sweets.

  26.  @gloriouslifeonwheels3621  Absolutely, Carol. I will also take advantage of the places where we can stay for 14 days, whenever possible. My rig is a gas guzzler. Lol.

  27. I don't blame him. What a view!

  28. With all due respect, I can only imagine that you get most of your news from the MSM, Carol. The President Elect has repeatedly said that this agenda is not his, even though several key points are agreeable. The new DOGE won't be screwing over our citizens. It will, however, reduce a lot of wasteful spending and job positions within the federal government. So yes, some people will be losing their jobs. The departments and positions aren't needed. That doesn't mean SS and such is going to be defunded. I can assure you that we who voted for Trump will keep this man's feet to the fire. None of us want benefits cut for the elderly who have paid into those programs all their working lives. What I see is the opposite. Those job/department cuts are a good thing because the money can be re-allocated to the social services which have been in neglect for years. I'm not talking about "welfare" programs, because they aren't lacking in funding. In fact, they're fraught with errors. The system is often abused, which leads to unnecessary spending. Those programs need overhauled so that they're not contributing to our country's downfall.

  29.  @gloriouslifeonwheels3621  Yes, there will be hardships. For federal employees whose jobs are redundant or not needed. Again, what you're speaking of isn't Trump's "agenda". The fact that you keep bringing that up is what led me to think (not assume) that you aren't getting truthful information from your sources. Honestly, I don't actually trust anyone. I do hope that they leave SS alone, or there will be hell to pay.

  31. Sadly, this can happen anywhere. It's just a lesson to always plan the safest routes and always be aware of your surroundings. Having said that, I still don't plan on going to Mexico any time soon--though I'd love to spend winters down there if the circumstances allowed for it. I really just want to chase the nice weather. Lol.

  32.  @thereseschab5042  That's why I'm not planning on going down there anytime soon. It might be different if they could get that all under control.

  33. I saw that comment and couldn't believe what I was reading. LOL. Some people....smh 🙄

  34.  @ingridlahaye8107  Sanctions make things even worse.

  35. Wow, triggered much? LOL. How can you even make that kind of comment when Carol ran a clip from NBC? It's not her saying it. The people there are saying these things. And that was definitely not the only person; there are multiple reports of FEMA failing to do their job and/or blocking citizens from helping. Oh, and according to their own estimates, they don't have enough money to last the entire hurricane season. That's because they were busy spending over 1 BILLION dollars on illegal immigrants--aside from the billions sent overseas. This shouldn't be about politics. Every person in the USA should be concerned about how our money is being spent.

  36. I can see why you were so protective of Jessica. Those were some steep drops! The waterfall was beautiful. Thanks for sharing, Carol. 🙂

  39. I'm sorry, but I think the people who are going along with this are part of the problem. They're not worried about the consequences.

  40. Tips are for servers and bartenders, etc., who aren't even making minimum wage. They are service providers to the max, and most of them work their butts off (not all, of course). They have to put up with a tremendous amount of BS to get a decent hourly wage. I've been one of those workers, so I am fully disgusted at the "tip jars" at coffee shops and liquor stores and the like, where the workers are at least making the minimum wage. They don't deserve tips for ringing up a bottle of vodka or a cup of coffee. Sorry, not sorry. Lol.

  43. I think that's a great thing. Tariffs are better than sanctions. It's a bargaining chip rather than being something perceived as punishment. Sanctions are leading to the devaluing of our US dollar.

  44.  @Livinglifebetterwithjan  They are 100% contributing to that. They have the ability to control their borders.

  45.  @Happydayz-2025  I suspect CA and MX will make more of an effort to control their borders so they don't have to pay high tariffs. They've done it before.

  46. Okay, no. Lol. That is way too much sugar and preservatives for my liking. I just can't even go there anymore. I didn't find that appealing at all and my teeth are cringing just thinking about eating one of those. I guess that's what I get for going organic and cutting down my sugar consumption. Lol. Always good to see you posting, though, Carol. 🕊😘

  48. This is why we need to go back to the days of the old-wild west. Those criminals rarely went unpunished....

  49. Even more reason to stay out of big cities... 🙄 This will indeed come to this country unless we fight it.
