A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Good morning! Sorry I've been MIA lately. When I'm in the stick house life seems to get in my way. One of my foster pups has surgery last Monday, the other got a UTI Wednesday so I was back & forth to the Vets 3 times last week. And I have been swamped with work! A Big WooHoo!!! for that.

We are looking everyday on the workamping forums for a place to spend next winter. I'd like to start emailing our resume to a few CG's in some areas we like, but it probably won't happen this week.

Hope all of you are well, & I'm going to spend a few minutes checking out the posts Ive missed!

Wonderful Tuesday. Got the verdict on my taxes yesterday. All that going back to work after retirement,just cost me a big tax bite I was not expecting...not enough taxes got taken out. Ugh! and double ugh! Just goes to confirm...it might not pay to go back to work! So that won't get paid till April 15th for sure. Since things are looking so tight financially I thought this would be a good time to look at upgrading my laptop. Here and you thought I was going to be rational......I have an appointment with the Apple Genius guys/gals at the Apple Store. I have come to suspect that the opperating system on my iBook is too old to work with much of the applications that are out there now. You know, like the application that would allow me to upload pictures to photobucket so that I could add them to this site. (Yep, that is the message I keep getting:( .....I also had difficultly getting SmugMug to work for me. The last straw was Sunday afternoon, when suddenly iPhoto would no longer open up.... My little work horse diffinitely needs a little help...so off to the 'puter doctor we go.....

Morning to every one from Mazatlan, yes we're still here. Hope to go visit another small town today, suposed to have an incredible gold altar in the church. Weather has been great - air came on yesterday for a little while. Felt and worked good. I posted yesterday a.m. but just as I hit submit the Internet went off and couldn't get back on the rest of the day. grrrr.. trying to load some video to show you of the dancing horse etc from Valentines Day. Enough for now have a wonderful day.

Morning. I'm at work but wanted to say hello. Barbz, sounds like you have a good plan going and I hope it all works out with the Board. It's not a nice thought that they would do something like that to your pet, but their #1 priority has to be you in that situation. However, if there is some way to keep you #1 and be kind to the pet too, then that is the way it should be!

Hope everyone has a good day. It's cold here this morning and I am really getting tired of being cold.

Gooooood Morning Sistahs!!!!

It's a 10hr shift at work today. Have no idea why but we have to be in at 10:30 this morning and get off at 9pm. Oh joy!! NOT!!! Work was a pain in the azz yesterday. Gads!!! You can bet all you have that we are counting the days till we're done up there. Have 6 weeks left working at that place. We actually have 7wks but I didn't count 1wk cause we are taking a vacation week and going to NY to see family and friends. Figure we has best do it now. Haven't seen anyone up there in close to 2yrs.

Did some really hard thinking about when to quit. Had thought to stay until the middle of April. But if we do then that means we would have to pay a full months rent on this place for only 2 1/2 wks. Plus all utilities for the month. The biggest reason was Kelly's Doctor appt on April 13th. But she called and got it moved back a week. So April 3rd will be the last day working for that place. Had we followed the first plan? Like I said we would have had to pay a full months rent of $750 and the utilities by ourselves, it would have come out close to $1000. We can camp for less than that for the month of April and take our sweet azz time getting to AZ.

Well I am all showered, dressed and ready to go out the door. Kelly just came out of the bathroom from her shower and is getting dressed. It's looking like it's really close to that time of hitting the road for work. ~sigh~

Hope everyone has a great day and be sure to stay safe!!!

Love to all

ps. dang almost forgot to fill up my travel mug!!! Ohhhhhh!!! Barbz, love the little guy and his jammies!!!!

Zeee,
While you're at it - check how often, or if ever, they've used this law. I had a fight with one city I lived in. The police had a law (and handed out the paper on it often) that any unleashed dog not on it's own property could be shot on site. I hated, HATED, HATED, that law. Unfortunately, they still have the law. But I did research and discovered that for the past 5 years (as far back as I went) they had never done it. While I still hate the law, at least I knew that it wasn't something they did. And as I was on the Board of Directors for the local Humane Society, I did know that they caught lots and lots of dogs and brought them in to us (including big dogs and dangerous dogs).

So, yes it's something to really consider - but hopefully the police there will not consider that a law they would uphold often, if at all.

And for those of you who say the priority is me- I'll tell you right now, if they shoot my dog(s) they might as well let me go too, cuz I'll spend the rest of any life left to me going after them - my dogs are my family and not to be shot to get at me. Wonder if I could put a sign to that effect on my door? I have a sign to rescue my dog if anything happens in here - wonder if I could put up a sign to rescue dog if anything happens to me -

All very good food for thought.

OK, on my break - a cold caught up with me last night. The Zican did it's job overnight and I was some better this morning, but it's coming back. Will see if I can take a nap (like till tomorrow) after work. Ha - I do have a dog, right? She's good but not that good

Have a great day!

Morning all..............Cloudy here in Mississippi...suppose to rain again....
Not much going on....just chilling and working on another ripple afghan....and of course, Ernie's doing his walking...
The dog issue is a complicated one and I don't have any answers for you Barb....hopefully you will be able to work something out...

Okay, off to check the mail...

Morning from Oregon !
Looks like we'll have OK weather today - overcast, but no rain. Molly and I will head to the beach a little later. We didn't do anything yesterday, I didn't feel real great so I took the day off. We're both ready to get outside again
Barb, sorry you're so upset over the "dog issue" - I can sure see how it could be a problem for the rescue people, they're trying to help the human and the dog won't let them, but shooting seems pretty extreme. Couldn't they just "dart" them with some sort of tranquilzer ?? You'd think that'd be a solution - they dogs could then be taken to a Vet and held until you or someone else can come and get them.
Hope everyone has a good day.
