I was looking at a forum where the PVC guy Roy was engaging with people about making this trailer drawing so he can get an idea of what to make and how to make it.
I don't remember who said it but someone said that it cost him over $800 to buy all the parts to make this thing. Actually what he made was much bigger, it may have been for some other project but he did show a picture of the inside and it was pretty big. I think it was something to haul with a car or truck so I don't think his was for a bicycle. But that was kind of discouraging for me.
Roy the PVC guy doesn't buy any of his materials. He goes to work sites where he finds crews that are building houses and he goes through the trash pile and takes the leftover pipe and joints and stuff and wood so he doesn't pay much for his trailer. I don't have that luxury because first of all I'm too shy to just go up to a work site and start going through their pile of trash lol.
You remember in high school when you liked someone but you were too embarrassed to go talk to them so you sent your best friend to ask her if she liked you or not and if so ask her for me if she would go out with me lol. Yeah, I'm like that although the conversation would be more like "Chip can you go ask them if we can have their leftover pvc?". Well, I know Chip. He'd say screw asking, just go get it lol. I'd be all no you do it. He'd be all but I don't want it and I'd be all well go with me and when we get yelled at I'll tell them that you forced me to do it lol.
I'm a wuss lol. I'd rather just go to Home Depot and buy what I need. But if it's a lot then forget it.
Also I'm not quite sure that I'm sold on the idea of PVC because it's too bendy. I'm afraid that the first thing that's gonna happen is I'm gonna get in and the PVC is gonna start to crack and break lol. Then I'll be on the road in Timbuktu and my floor is now bowed. I mean I'd screw the wood to the PVC so that should help there but I just don't know how durable it is with my fat ass lol.
And I'm afraid that if I get too small it might be too flexiable, if I get too big it might be too brittle. I don't know anything about PVC. I know that I have seen brittle PVC but I don't know how old that is or maybe it was defective or not. I need some PVC education.
I still want to make the trailer part for going to the grocery store to buy groceries to test the waters (or the pvc rather lol) and maybe sit in the trailer for awhile and move around to make sure it's sturdy for me. Then if it doesn't break start adding shit that I would probably have with me while camping in it lol.
I know one perfect use for this. If I'm in the dog house at home then this will be my dog house lol I can go to bed in there the night I'm in the dog house rofl.

Tanning Salon
It's on the Bakersfield news that this woman has been going to this tanning salon for the last 5 years and she bought a bottle of this lotion for $22 and was promised a whole month of free tanning with the purchase of this bottle. She saw them moving some boxes and when she went to the store to ask them what they were doing they hid from her lol. Next thing you know the store is empty and a sign on the door saying they moved cause they lost their lease.
She said that they didn't tell her where they moved lol. I smell something and it's not cocoa butter, it's a PIA customer. They probably didn't tell her because she has probably been a pain in their ass for 5 years.
Ok Georgia Hamilton.
I really hate to bring this up but there is a more natural way of tanning and it's free. It's called a beach towel, your back yard or wherever you can go, maybe the park? And the SUN. The sun provides free tanning all year long no matter the time of year, the sun is always out there. Unless of course it's raining or there is a fire that is causing a lot of smoke in the sky. Or a giant woman wearing a Tarzan bathing suit that is as high as the Bank of America building in downtown Bakersfield.
Now I don't go tanning at a tanning salon very often, well never really because I find better uses for my spare cash, like oh I don't know, groceries. So I don't know if there is a huge difference between the damages that the sun causes compared to the damages that a tanning salon causes so I really can't say that it's better to be in the sun as opposed to the salon.
When I am able to ride my bike or even just being outside I get a nice tan on my arms and legs then of course I have a tan line which is my t-shirt arms and my shorts lol. Normally I try to stay out of the sun as much as possible because I'm burned in 5-10 minutes. When I have to sit at the bus stop I usually have a baseball cap on to protect the ol' chrome dome and my forehead from turning a nice beet color.
Anyway, I'm sure she can get the tan she wants by laying in the sun for short periods of time here and there everyday and she doesn't have to spend a dime, well except for the sun tan lotion of course.
Do you tan? Tell me which is better. The sun, tanning salon or spray tan.

"I take tanning very seriously"

6-12 Episode Seasons
I've noticed that some shows are now down to only 6 episodes in a single season. The British shows like Being Human and Primeval both only had 6 episodes for the entire season (or as they say, series). I understand why Primeval only has 6 episodes because of the CGI and the money it costs to produce that much CGI per episode. But what about Being Human?
There are also some summer shows on SyFy that only have 12 episodes per season like Eureka, Warehouse 13, Sanctuary etc. What happened to 24 episodes per season? I mean they could have those shows air from fall to end of spring like the network shows and have 24 episodes with repeats here and there. I kinda feel cheated.
Also there are shows that are only on for 2 1/2 months because they air the episodes back to back. You get to see them during the summer but that's it, you have to wait a whole year to be able to see the next season.
And what about Merlin? They have been showing 2 episodes on Sunday nights. It seems like they are rushing that show. But at least that show has more than just 12 episodes so I guess I should be grateful. But I miss it every Sunday night, I don't know why I always forget to watch it. Thank goodness I have Bright House cable with Primetime on Demand so I can watch it the next day. Also if I miss an episode I can go to Hulu or the NBC website to see it.
I guess I should be lucky that they even have these supernatural shows so I shouldn't bitch about it, just be grateful they are producing them hehe.

Trailer Lifestyle
Ever thought about living in a travel trailer? It's actually not that bad. When I was a teenager my parents bought a 35 foot travel trailer that had 4 beds. 2 couches that faced each other but they folded down into 2 beds, a twin and a double (I slept on the twin, my parents next to me in the double, doesn't it give you shivers to think about?) then above that a twin (which is where my kid sister slept, she was small enough that she could fit, it was like a bunk bed to her) and then the dining room table came down to make a double bed (my older sister slept there).
That's 5 people in a travel trailer, yes it's very cramped but that's the type of trailer you go camping in, not live in.
They do have trailers that have actual bedrooms with a door so you do have some privacy. My stepdad and sister live in a trailer in Northridge, CA. It's got 2 bedrooms both with double beds, the main living space has a regular couch, not built in, a dining room table, again not built in, a regular sized fridge that you have in your house or apartment (or as the British say, your flat) and it has a small stove and a small oven and a small sink. It has enough cupboard space for all of your dishes and a big enough pantry for a lot of food. The living room actually expands outward with the push of a button.
If you get a 5th wheel or an RV they are going to be bigger so you get even more room. They all have a bathroom with a shower but you know the rule when showering in a trailer right? Wet yourself down, turn off the water, soap up, shampoo your hair then rinse yourself off. Don't use a lot of water because the trailer water heater isn't as big as the water heater in your house.
It's actually great for 1 person or a couple or even a person who is retired and their kids are all on their own. I wouldn't put a family with children in a trailer though unless they were really poor.
A trailer park has decent rent usually about $300 per month but I guess that depends on the city/state and/or neighborhood. You can find a decent one that doesn't have the typical "trailer trash" but instead where all the people are nice and they aren't stereotypes.
I certainly wouldn't want to live in a cramped trailer where all of my stuff is in storage but if it really came down to it I guess I wouldn't really mind. I don't have that much stuff, I only have 1 piece of furniture which is my grandmothers bed frame which if there were bedrooms I could just set it up in the bedroom. But other than that I'm pretty much set. I could live in one if I had to. It's actually not that big of a deal for me, I could easily live in a trailer, that is if I was in a nice trailer park.
I'm talking about trailer parks today because my sister is in trouble. She is at risk of becoming homeless and I told her that she should get a trailer, you can find one on Craigslist really inexpensive. They have problems but inexpensive. You just get someone to tow it for you and if it has repair issues then you do those repairs as you get the money. I found a trailer for $1000 in craigslist. Considering they usually sell for $10,000-$20,000 used, $1000 is a great price. Especially if it's temporary until you can get a better job and save the money for other arrangements.
She works at this halfway house, she gets free room and board and she gets paid $200 a week but she can't set aside any of it because she has credit card bills and loans to pay off so she's basically stuck.
If she can get a trailer for $1000 then she can quit her job and use her credit card to pay rent until she can find a job. And if she has to she can apply at a fast food place until she can find a better job. Trust me, you do what you gotta do.

Those teabaggers on the news
I was watching Fox News this morning and Kelly from Kelly's court was talking to this guy and she read a letter where someone called him a teabagger.
Urban Dictionary Definition
I'm not sure if they are aware of this but old people watch this channel lol. If they say teabagger they better be prepared to show the definition on the screen for said old people because they ask young people for the definition and young people are going to be like "uh I don't think so".
In my opinion it should be one of those words they beep out on tv because it's not an appropriate thing for them to say. Children don't need to hear that either cause they are going to walk around calling people teabaggers and they have no idea what it means lol.
I had to explain what it meant to Chip and he didn't believe me the first 5 times I told him lol. He thought I was being crude and was joking around but I wasn't lol.

teabagger
a man that squats on top of a woman's face and lowers his genitals into her mouth during sex, known as "teabagging"
Matt baseball, I can't believe he skipped our lan party to go to practice. Yeah, that kid is such a teabagger.
