  1. Wise investing! We do the same. Panicking never turns out good.
  2. That web site isn't accurate.... as of yet. It only shows Walgreens & CVS around us and in the nearby big city.
  3. Yes, I understand that for your post. I've just heard it said so often so that's why I mentioned it. Sorry for the confusion.
  4. Here's a good explanation of why we need to pick up dog poop and other animals' poop is OK to let lay: https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/news-events/the-buzz/dog-poop-vs-wildlife-poop-not-all-animal-excreme/
  5. This is from CDC..... looks like the issue is limited data & that's why my doctor said not to combine them at this time. Glad you had no issues. "Vaccine Administration, Including Coadministration with Other Vaccines Coadministration of RSV vaccines with other adult vaccines during the same visit is acceptable.***** Available data on immunogenicity of coadministration of RSV vaccines and other vaccines are currently limited. Coadministration of RSV and seasonal influenza vaccines met noninferiority criteria for immunogenicity with the exception of the FluA/Darwin H3N2 strain when the GSK RSV vaccine was coadministered with adjuvanted quadrivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (28,29). RSV and influenza antibody titers were somewhat lower with coadministration; however, the clinical significance of this is unknown. Administering RSV vaccine with one or more other vaccines at the same visit might increase local or systemic reactogenicity. Data are only available for coadministration of RSV and influenza vaccines, and evidence is mixed regarding increased reactogenicity. Data are lacking on the safety of coadministration with other vaccines that might be recommended for persons in this age group, such as COVID-19 vaccines; pneumococcal vaccines; adult tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccines; and the recombinant zoster vaccine (the recombinant zoster vaccine and GSK’s RSV vaccine contains the same adjuvant). When deciding whether to coadminister other vaccines with an RSV vaccine, providers should consider whether the patient is up to date with currently recommended vaccines, the feasibility of the patient returning for additional vaccine doses, risk for acquiring vaccine-preventable disease, vaccine reactogenicity profiles, and patient preferences. Postlicensure efficacy and safety monitoring of coadministered RSV vaccines with other vaccines will further direct guidance."
  6. I just saw my internist today and she recommended not getting all three together.... do RSV separately.
  7. We went into full-timing with a positive attitude and never questioned our choice. Truthfully, we have absolutely no complaints. Stuff happens but you just deal with it. There's a solution for everything and sometimes you need to get creative but it all works out in the end. It may not go smoothly but living in a regular house creates issues, also. You need to keep your sense of humor. During our 16 years we've had our share of surgeries, some serious, but we easily got excellent care. We were there for all our grandchildren's special events, including sports. Many times both of us weren't there but what mattered to them was that one of us were there. We traveled constantly and had some comical adventures that some would think were awful and would want to hang up the keys. We're glad we dealt with them and moved onward. It was an awesome lifestyle and volunteering along the way was very gratifying. We have no regrets.
  8. Do some volunteering in the area you live. You'll make lots of friends and it'll get you out of the RV to new surroundings.
  9. Macular does not disappear but it can be controlled. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/agerelated-macular-degeneration-amd#:~:text=Risk factors for AMD include,the progression of the disease.
  10. For Escapees we didn't use a PMB or P.O. Box #. They gave us a normal-looking address. Perhaps that's the difference. Your bank is picking up a P.O. Box or PMB # and then rejects it.
  11. Is your address actually a P.O. Box? We used Escapees mail service and they gave us a street address. Never had an issue and we had a Wells Fargo acct, also.... along with other financial institutions.

    Some good info about the Rasberry Crazy Ant. They sound awful.... Hope they don't spread to other states. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasberry_crazy_ant

    Don't come to Arizona to cool off!! Of course, you have humidity where you are. Here it's dry heat.... much better. Really.
  15. Yes, there are many young full-timers and they don't travel in vans. Some travel with their children. There is a huge group of Xscapers - an offshoot of the original Escapees. They are young and still working, for the most part. With technology nowadays they are able to work from their RV so they can live wherever they want and travel accordingly. Also, many of them are boondockers to cut down on RV park costs. https://xscapers.com/
  16. Yes, I remember... not fondly .... the Michigan winters. We got all the lake effect snow dropped on us. Don't miss it.
  17. I was talking about the coast.... Gulf Shores, AL. Once you go inland, yes it's cold and snows. https://www.bestplaces.net/climate/city/alabama/gulf_shores
  18. No snow on the coast of Alabama! We spent a couple winters at Gulf State Park, Gulf Shores, AL.
  19. My last Windows 10 22H2 update was a Feature Update, also.
  20. It doesn't look like the Summerfield, FL facility has an 800#. Their # is 352-347-6157 https://www.rvtrader.com/rv-dealers/detail/PPL+Motor+Homes+-+Summerfield-2732316?dealerid=2732316
  21. We sold our motorhome through PPL in Houston within a month's time. It was an excellent experience. A couple from Florida bought it. PPL recommended a price but we upped it by quite a lot thinking that everyone wants to offer a lower price. Our buyer paid it with no quibbles. We communicated back & forth on the RV through PPL as they were asking various questions. It was immaculate inside and out. Some on the lots looked like people came in from their last camp trip and just left it... not cleaned up a bit and even left junk in them. Those kinds were not selling the salesperson told us. For a fee PPL would spiffy them up inside and out but the people didn't seem to want make a good showing of their RV. Strange. To us it was worth it because we didn't want the hassle of advertising, no shows or showing it to 'lookers'; not serious buyers. Some don't mind it but not us.
  22. There are many different ways to boondock... narrow, not-heavily used national forests roads, wider, more used national forest roads and BLM roads. It also depends where you mostly go.... east or west of the Mississippi. East and you'll have narrow and west can be wide open. We mainly boondocked on public lands in the West with our 33' 5th wheel and a big ole' diesel and a 40' motorhome. We had absolutely no issues with either. We never scraped the sides, bottom or top of the RV. We found information as best we could on road condition, steepness and what size of RV was able to go there.... a lot by word of mouth because our friends traveled the same way. We were also 4-wheelers with our Jeep so places we sought out were scenic. We didn't like deep forest spots and I think you'd find the narrow roads there. We'd drive up to 20 mi or so off pavement. We found the motorhome a lot easier because we could disconnect the Jeep and scout ahead, if necessary and it could lead the way in and watch for oncoming vehicles to let them know a motorhome was coming through. Folks were very kind to pull over and wait until we passed. It sounds like you would have a truck, toy-hauler and a cargo trailer. That's a lot to maneuver on narrow roads. This guy has the setup that you'd probably like .. a toy-hauler motorhome with a patio. He's made many posts (on another forum) of gorgeous spots he's parked. These are the kind of spots we sought out. https://www.irv2.com/forums/f61/in-search-of-solitude-603104.html
