As Heard In Our House™

[At the end of a fruit salad]  "Haha!  You just drank fruit water!"


"My people call it "juice.""




Annie has noticed that people's reactions to our living in the RV - especially this winter - are strongly gender-divided.  Women say "Are you warm enough?  Do you have enough insulation?  Do you need to borrow a space heater?"  Non-RV men roll their eyes so far back that their brains feel violated and slap them back up front.  She asked one such man to explain why.

I think with guys, we strive for more, bigger and better, and in this we are encouraged, not just by the corporate overworld, but by our fellow disciples. I equate comfort with space for my STUFF. I equate wealth with comfort and the presence of STUFF. Every now and then I get sick of all that and I go on a rampage getting rid of STUFF. Then I come to my senses and go on about the business of getting more STUFF. A motorhome is just more STUFF. One does not live in his STUFF, you can live for it, just not in it. 

 I asked if I could quote him here;  he said he was just channeling George Carlin anyway.

Have you experienced this?   What about you men?  How have your friends responded to this crazy RV situation?  What's your take?
