Howard, After reading your June 26th and 27th Journals this morning, I felt I needed to make a comment. First of all, feelings about a place, RV park, person, or situation are part of what makes every one of us different, and we really can't control them. We all have feelings about all of the above, wheth...

Hi everyone! I've been meaning to do this for a long time, so here goes. I'm gonna ask you to do a little w-o-r-k. You have all been so kind to us and have said many wonderful things about RV-Dreams.com, the related websites, and us personally. Unfortunately, I haven't saved all those great comments...

I will need a vet for my dog and a dentist for myself next week while we're in Arlington Texas. How would you go about researching to find the best providers? I usually look in the yello pages on Yahoo and find the closest, but that isn't always the best. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks! Ellie

We left Florence Oregon on April 17th and arrived in Farmington New York on the 24th. I have never seen so many wasps and hornets. Any recommendations on how to get rid of these pests.

We have a new manager at work and of course our sick call procedure has changed. So as I was printing the memo that I emailed myself from work so I could post the number here at home, I thought of all you FTers.

Folks, Mr. Fred brought up a great topic about the first fifth wheel trailer and I almost posted under his topic but I didn't want him to think I was highjacking his post.
