Talk to me about life in a motor home! 
I was talking to hubby about this the other day. Might look at buying a camper and becoming a grey nomad for a while. Can’t do that till after hubby’s knees are replaced though. And money is also an issue. We have paid our house off so could just lock it up and leave it for a few months at a time. Could get my son to pop in and out to make the place look lived in. Even though you have lived a hard life their are so many aspects of your life I am quite jealous of. You certainly sound like you have a lot to be happy about. I would love more of an outdoorsy life.

Hey  @Oaktree    Yes,  well for me house work simply is not a past time.   I like an ecosystem.

Since the book keeper moved in,    the pig and chooks are barred,  and when I'm bad ,  so am I

I'm pragmatic.  We'll I don't need to tell you about military  "programming"

I remember my past,   but thanks to my brain injury,  It never affected me much at all far as I can see.  Thick skin,   don't get me wrong,   I still laugh at mister  Ed   and cry in all the right spots in the soppy Movies,   but  I enjoy my big hot mug of toughen the   F   up every morn,  and theres a few people depend on me.

What does upset me is that you have a hump that could well have been avoided if you folks had done the right thing.    I've got my water boarding kit in my toybox somewhere.  Have to grill you  about your  childhood later.  Lot of things start there.

Yes we would be mates .  .  .  .    because   we are.   Once you hit the road,  our roads will cross.   Just   chop you hubbys legs off,    sear em closed with a hot fry pan,   on the

 roof rack and your  good to go. . .   

OH,    cant say I really miss my real parents,   5 years old,  i didn't  realy develop the bond yet.

Never spend my todays regretting my yesterdays. . . .   Slap  me will ya.

what recycled old   droll  cliché   ,   that   was. 

 8   is my lucky number too,

Book  keeper hid a big bag of  mixed chocolates back of the fridge. I  Found em  and  8  the lot.

Keeping out of her way for now.   I smell  food.   Gotta fly or Ill miss out on barb  b   q.

 chat soon take care tonys   mb 1

Well @tonys there isn’t much to tell about my childhood.

Physically abusive alcoholic father and emotionally abusive mother. They got divorced when I was almost 9. I had no contact with half my siblings or my Dad after that. I still have a strained relationship with the two siblings that live in the same state as me. 

Even though my childhood was a little unstable I was a happy and resilient kid. Things happened that I can’t talk about because they will trigger others but I am a survivor. 

Enjoy your bbq mate.

Yes well   9  years old is a sensitive time and you were in a cross fire too.  I'm sure there is lots to tell.   Some.   Your lifes a serries of   opp's  .   Some contacts,  hotter than others.

The worst is the waiting hey.   When you stop hearing the birds,  You know troubles in the mail.

Drunks are unpredictable.  and I never got it.  Couple of reds and I'm all bubbles till i fall asleep in my chair.    Think the drink brings out the deeper truth in a man.   But your mother interests me.    Not now,   but one day If it rains,   and thoughts  progress to a share. . .

Steak sandwich  needs   two hands to steer  it,   so its back to the trough with the rest of the pickers.         tonys  m b  1

Meggle

[tonys]

O H   N O..  now isn't that just autism all over the place.  I forgot,   theres   14 people standing 

around a smokin pile of meat,   and not one word .   No one said a thing.  Well that explains 

the chocks in the fridge.  An  honestly,   I would have eaten  fish..   not sure why.

but hey when in Rome..   

Any one else see's my post,    sorry  folks.   now where's the sauce.    tonys   m b  1.

Hahaha @tonys 

You make me laugh.

I am having steak tonight too because I don’t care for fish too much and quite honestly the fish and chip shops are too busy to go near!

Meggle

[tonys]

My kind of huminoid.    I  eat fish,  shrimp , yabby's , fresh water muscles,  out of the river most nights.    Think I even scalled an old boot few nights back.

For got to say,   few acres of old variety tomatoes.  Found a special market for them.

We do sweet potatoes and and snow peas are a winner too.

Tonns of eggs of all sorts.   there geese and chooks  ducks wandering around everywhere,

People just come and pick em up,   no charge.   The deal is you gotta bring you scraps or bread.  and a carton.   the moneys in the snow peas   and toms.  I could really go some chips,

Shouldn't have mentioned them.   Hey  . . . what your thought on the perfect chip.

And you know what,  It just ocurred to me the whole shite show was Romans behaving badly,    so what do I go and say.    when in rome.  .  .!   

beter go again, . .  .      incoming.  .                                   tonys    mb 1.  .  .

@tonys 

I prefer Salt and Vinegar chips or were you talking hot chips? I like the crispy ones with chicken salt on them.

Meggle

[tonys]

Yes   I was,   you had me unwrapping the paper and going for the pickled onion,    bit of chicken salt  n balsamic ,     on the side ,    and dead horse.   don't wanna make em soggy.

Go back 3 spaces,  chance card says,    salt and vinegar,  crisp,   chips,    do not pass go do not collect $200.  .  .  .  Now don't go breaking my heart here. .    Are we talking the unleaded,   or the real macoy,   kettle chips.  And to be clear,   we are talking about something sacred.   Mate I love

love love   a big bag of kettle    S n  Vs   chips.   ?  @Oaktree   

So<   are you for sure we are not related.
