Change of subject but I don't know where else to go to ask it. Seven yrs ago you did a video on a couple named Scott and Yolanda. One of your best videos ever! How to find out what they are doing now? They lived in an Airstream, he ex cop who had an epinity on a trip to India. Yolanda was already finished with there house, chasing the dollar and they gave every thing up, became nomads and are/were extremely happy. Just stumbled on that video again and soooo wonder where they are. An update. You liked them along also and if you don't already know you would live to. ??❤❤??

Recently, the past seven months and torn rotator cuff, which kept me out of my van that whole time. I’m finally back taking little trips out of time and praying I will continue to recover.

I have Fibromylagia and spondylitis, I can be always in the nomadic life but here and there for months at a time. It's worth it, especially hitting up meet ups and temporarily traveling caravans. Surely you can do it here and there, cheering you on! 🤗❤️👍🏽💯

@wyattfamily8997 7 дней назад

@@charofheart37 May be of interest to you. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia too, and shortly after, Ulcerative Colitis. I was prescribed a drug medication for the U.C. to which my body reacted badly, so my Doctor, who was South African trained, suggested I try Curcumin (the active ingredient in Turmeric) as it is widely used in South Africa as an anti-inflammatory. I did so and it not only drastically reduced my U.C. but totally rid me of the broad pains associated with the Fibromyalgia. I am personally convinced that Fibromyalgia is an inflammatory disease. Turmeric, and its active component Curcumin, are a natural anti-inflammatory and no prescription is required. Hope it helps. from Australia.

Lisa is an amazing young woman, she is capable of much more than many people that haven't got a handicap. Her engineering skills surely have helped her a lot in being able to design such a very practical vehicle, with great solutions to stuff that could, and would have been extremely difficult to find the right answers for, but Lisa did it all. She is a really great example to all of us, go on Lisa and continue to make the very best of your life 👍👍👍.

"Disabled" is not a bad word. Don't be afraid to use it. I am disabled and I much prefer being described as "disabled" to being described with some awkward euphemism.

@dustman96 Месяц назад

@@rinazm8856 I am a father of a disabled person and have worked with many disabled people. I see all this PC stuff as a way to gloss over the reality of people's situations. I think it is more about making "normal" people comfortable than anything, and makes it easier for people to remain ignorant. George Carlin has a great skit about the evolution of politically correct language as it relates to the psychological trauma of war.

How can anyone whine or cry about their fate when this living example of the human spirit is on display?

I hope I am lucky enough to meet Lisa one day... I'd vote for her for President in a heartbeat!

Lisa and your builder - Fabulous! You could have your own business designing and assisting builders make these vans so more people could get out on the road. I love the pull down shelves, the wheel chair lift, many seniors could also use that and it would enable them to stay out on the road longer in life. You're living a very full rewarding life. I would put you in the "Goddess" category over badass! Enjoy your travels.
