Enjoy your week. If only we could get our kids out of the house, we'd be so glad.1 -

And I got tons of great stuff that I was looking. Very productive and fun day!0 -

Yeah. Being married I don't get to eat tacos as much as I would like.
Uh, could somebody clue me in on this Taco business? I know what Tacos are, but what's the relation to marital status??2 -

Uh oh. Now I am freaked out. Lol
Sorry, Pulsar!
Also, Pulsar, I love the tiny houses, too. That will never happen for us, though. My husband would go stir-crazy. Our little 1,500 square footer is about as small as he can stand.1 -

Okayyyy!! That's a new one for me. Thanks.2 -
Glad to see so many of you RVers here on MFP. We moved up from a pop-up to a class c0

I would love to get a tear-drop or pop-up, but my wife's attitude is "where are we going to put it 10 months of the year???". She prefers tent camping, but I'd love to get something fun and small... :sigh: someday...0

I got used to camping as a tiny child. My birth-family used tents, going into the redwoods to camp.
We also had a church "camp meeting" we attended yearly until I was 8 then again in later years. At the camp meeting, initially, we had huge tents, then we used cabins in a beautiful, quiet, woody area in a larger city on the West Coast.
Camping is in my blood.
When I married my first husband, who was also a member of that church, the camping at camp meeting continued, but he built a nice littlr camper in a van. He did a great job with it, and we often went camping along rivers in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. He loved to get up early, go fishing for breakfast-trout, and I would get up, build a fire, and prepare to wash and take care of the trout when he got back. but we had our first baby, and it was obvious that the little van-camper wasn't going to work for long.
When he was gone (accident), I bought the pop-up mentioned earlier, because the children were getting bigger. Later, I bought a VW camper, which we loved and used for years. I was still in that church then, so we took both to camp meetings on the West Coast and in the Midwest as well as camping here and there, whenever the whim hit us.
When I remarried, it was to a man who was also in that church, so the camp meetings continued, until I left that church. He later left it also, and we bought a RV that we love using to go camping.
Campings in my blood, I'm telling you!!0 -
I camped a lot as a kid too. Especially on the white rivers (in Vermont). I loved the sound of the river. Also the sound of rain.1

My idea of camping is renting a cabin with a/c, WiFi (hubs needs to work) and a swimming pool. My husband doesn't call this camping.
I guess we're not part of the married campers crew.

That's ok. I had my husband take our daughters camping without me this summer because I didn't want to go. We did do a camping trip a couple summers ago traveling from Vancouver, Canada to California. And there were some really fun sand dunes in Oregon.0 -
My husband's dream is to retire to a 13' travel tailer some day. I think going that small permanently would trigger my anxiety but we're definitely checking out tiny house plans.0
-
We went from 28' Class C, to 32' 5th Wheel; and now we're downsized to a truck camper to fit in all the small rustic-but-beautiful campsites. Our best trip was driving to Alaska and back - western Canada and Alaska are simply incredible!!2

Hubs is retired and I am going to do so too in about a year and a half. My fantasy is to get an RV and drive around to see all the places in North America I havent seen yet. Hubs wont fly, so I think this would appeal to him.. I would like to see Savannah Georgia, New Orleans, caves in Kentucky, The grand canyon, Mount Rushmore, California - places that I have heard and read about so much. Most of my traveling has been overseas, but I know there is a lot of great stuff here at home and in the US
We have also talked about doing the Rocky Mountain train trip - my folks did that a few years ago and just loved it - sounds super appealing to me too. Anyone else love to travel?
edited to fix way too many spelling and typo probs2 -

Me! I love traveling by train as well. Did the cross-country by train thang twice by the northern route between Minneapolis and Portland, OR, and twice by the more southerly route. Did that train route thang between MPLS & southern Illinois a couple times -- NOT recommended, but maybe they fixed that.
On one of those trips through Illinois, my car had to put up with an loudly brutal abusive father, his mousy little wife, and two horribly bratty boys who peed the walls, ceilings, and floors of both restrooms. In all my miles of train travel, this kind of thing only happened once.
I am fortunate that I've been able to do quite a bit of vehicle-travel in the States but not outside of them so much. I've traveled both the Pacific Coast and the Atlantic coast, across most of the southern states, across most of the northern states, and across many of the in betweens.
the main state I have missed is Maine. That is a huge loss, I am sure.0 -
I traveled across the US as well. I lived along the east coast and traveled and explored there all along the coast and inland a bit. Up in Canada a little too. Then across the country. Then I lived in California and traveled along the west coast a lot. Now I live on the west coast of Canada. And there is a lot here to travel to and explore. Very beautiful. I have also lived in India for two months before my husband and I were married (I mentioned that before). I have been to Turks and Caicos. That was vey beautiful and I went scuba diving. Still a lot of traveling for me to do. I have family in Germany. And a very close friend in Wales. And friends in France and other places.0

My husband gets really busy preparing for Physics talks he has to give. Especially unexpected ones. He works hard and his work is important. And he is still very available and makes a little time for recreation. But, this is all going on right now. And our car just broke down. And he will fix it, but it's more time. If I had known the car was going to break down we wouldn't have gone out for fun yesterday. So, it caused a little stress. And we got in a ridiculous fight about time. Not a big fight. I say ridiculous because it didn't really make sense. And it's upsetting me more than it should. I guess because he had to leave for work. And no hug and make up. I don't handle that well. But, it's not a big deal. Normal stuff under stressful events.0

We've seen almost the entire USA, and southern zones of Canada (plus obviously the parts one drives through to get to Alaska). Sightseeing is probably our favorite activity?2

Anyone know about the mima mounds in your travels. They kind of fascinate me. I haven't yet read an explanation for them. Lots of them on the northern West Coast.0

We love to travel. I've been all over the world. I've seen a good chunk of the US too, but I've still got a ways to go. T's traveled the world for business, but he hasn't gotten to stop and see as much as he'd like. I'm working on turning him into a tourist
Places T and I have been together:
-Atlanta
-Madrid
-New York City
-Orlando
-Fiji
-Las Vegas
-Napa Valley/San Francisco
-Colombia (Medellin and Cartagena)
-Turks and Caicos
-New Orleans
-Destin
-Seattle/Chelan
-Middle-of-nowhere Georgia/middle of nowhere South Carolina
We have a trip to New Zealand coming up at the end of September, and we're doing the Grand Canyon over Thanksgiving. He's trying to swing a work trip to Cancun that I could tag along for. I have a 10 year plan of places we want to go together and how we'll need to budget for them... This is definitely a big part of our life and something our relationship developed around.1 -

Where are you going to in new Zealand? We went before w were married. It's a really amazing place. Our highlight was staying on an ostrich farm that had sheep and elk. The owner gave us a personal tour it was so cool2 -
Married 3 years, here!
Met my husband online 5 years ago and now here we are, after having "let ourselves go" and finding ourselves in need of weightloss apps, lol.

My husband resents me for gaining so much weight after my mom passed. This isnt the girl he met or married. I want to lose weight but his disdain for me isnt helping. And he's not the least bit supportive. He's never been overweight, never had to lose weight, and eats everything in sight. I wish he could understand how much of a challenge it is trying to lose weight while also cooking, cleaning, studying, and working out the constant fog in my head when depression kicks into overdrive. Le sigh. 1

I am so sorry. I wish I had wisdom to say the right things to move you through this, but I'm not smart enough. I hope and pray (actually pray) that you find a solution for this.
For myself, I never could lose weight for anyone other than for me, no matter what was said to me.

That's rough. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. I wish he would give you love and acceptance while supporting you in helpful ways to help with diet and exercise for you to lose weight. You have been through a lot. And beating you down mentally and emotionally isn't going to motivate you. But, you can get through this. Do you think some kind of therapy might help you. Or possibly a book that you could read to help you process and deal with grief. One thing I seem to have noticed about weight loss is that different methods work for different people. While it's true that everyone needs to eat less and move more to lose weight. Different people find different ways of achieving that. You need to find the way or ways that work for you and that you can stick with. I don't know what that would be. But, there are probably lots of people and support groups on mfp that can help you. Hugs!1 -
