10 easy paths to self-destruction

http://www.livescience.com/health/top_10_self_destruction-1.html

10) sacrifice sleep. It's harder to sleep on the road than at home.
9) ignore the doctor. It's hard to visit your doc regularly when on the
road.
8) dumb down your brain. Sitting and driving is dumbing down your brain.
7) questionable sex practices. RVers are probably very promiscuous. One
swinger even posted here soliticing.
6) drive a lot. That's what RVers are all about, isn't it?
5) drink a lot. That's what RVers are all about, isn't it
4) stress out. Driving RVs is stressful, no doubt about it. Neck,
shoulders, back pain.
3) watch TV. That's about all there is to do when camped.
2) smoke. Most RVers still smoke for some strange reason.
1) eat junk. You RVers pretend to cook buy you mostly eat junk food at
fast food.

And you people think RVing is a good thing? Think again. Try getting a
bicycle and getting in shape. Or keep doing what you're doing and die
early.

Harry,
Please don't feed the Troll...
But this is almost too good.  I just have to spike it and go back to the
good stuff.

My wife and I sleep at least as well on the road than at home, we turn
in earlier and get up later.

Her doctor is the one that suggested that we do more traveling.

Like going to 14 museums in 15 days (do you even Know about the Peshtigo
fire museum?), staring in absolute awe from one of the Blue Ridge
Parkway overlooks, or finding your way through the scablands of
Washington and Idaho where and ice age lake drain in about a day.

Did you answer him?  A lot of us are working on a fourth or fifth decade
in a stable relationship, too bad you will never know how good that is.

I drive fewer miles than I did when I commuted and I avoid driving
during peak drive times.

Hello, I'm not in competition or even at a desk, why would bother I

We don't have one, most that do use it for news and a movie in bad

I don't think so.  Go to a rally, all the indoor events are smoke free.

We like the galley because my wife gets very tired of restaurant food.
I have been in a burger flip joint in years.  Can you say that?

Your bicycle uses three muscle groups....
Want to come wood cutting or keel boat racing with us and find out what
miserable shape the rest of your body is actually in?  (Before you
accept, remember I used to do what you seem to be so hopelessly proud of
and you think you father's houseboat is something you haven't been

One of my favored videos on youtube is a bunch of critical mass
bicyclists deliberately blocking the road so no cars could pass them.
One car followed them closely, much like a cat lurking in the bushes
waving for a bird to come long.

Eventually, one of he smart-a.s bicyclists fell, and the car pounced,
obliterating the bike,missing the maroon by inches. I wonder what the
mind set is of someone challenging a 4000 pound car with a fifteen
pound contraption made of a few feet of tubing and wire spoke wheels:
matadors stand a better chance waving a cloth at an enraged bull.

We've been trapped behind a mob of cyclist a few times and for miles
with plenty if opportunities for them to let traffic pass. We just got
by them whenever we could and ignored them. Giving them any reaction is
what they want. We were stuck behind one group for over half an hour,
not too long ago. Plenty other motorists expressed their feelings to
them when they passed them finally.

Where (country/state) is this type of "we have as much rights to the
road as cars and we're going to prove it" mentality going on? I guess
living in north Tx shields one from that--the only time I've seen large
groups of bicyclists are organized 50/100 mile runs and I've never had a
problem with them yielding where possible. Our biggest bicycle problem
is the casual rider who thinks bicycles are pedestrians and insists on
riding against traffic--a dangerous thing to do at night--guess they
never wonder why the reflector is on the rear.

Oh boo hoo! You are on vacation with no place to go and no time to need
to be there and you're so offended that you have to slow down once in a
while. Who do you think you are. Some special rights person. I bet you
think your sh.t don't stink! Show me where it says in the traffic laws
where motor vehicles have more right to the road than any other
vehicle - including bicycles which are defined by law as vehicles. Show
me. You can't Well, shut your mouth!

You are right about one thing though, riding against traffic is against
the law in most cases any time of the day or night. Cyclists who do that
are ignorant. Almost as ignorant as RVers. You'd never catch me riding
against traffic. I'd rather have some idiot hit me from behind when I'm
going about forty miles per hour and they're going fifty-five. That's
only a fifteen mph difference. I can survive a fifteen mph collision.
Survived many of them during races. However going against traffic one
has to add the speed of the car and the speed of the bicycle. That would
be 95 mph - like me crashing into a tree at 95 mph. That means instant
death. So those cyclists riding against traffic are stupid and ignorant.

Next time you have to slow down for a tractor, a horse, a cyclist, a
pedestrian just stop your whining. You have NO right to the time
schedule you expect  to make.

Shut up, you wuss! Paying road taxes has NOTHING to do with one's having
access to roadway usage. You pay road taxed because you buy fuel. You
buy fuel because you drive a motor vehicle. Your choice! Where did you
ever get the stupid idea that paying taxes entitles a person to certain
rights? Paying taxes gives you NO rights. It just takes away your money.
No correlation you dimwitted a.s.

I suppose people who don't pay school tax can't put their kids in public
schools? Or what about people who don't pay estate taxes? I guess they
aren't allowed to die? That's how stupid your thinking is, you ignorant
loser.

You're a small, sick, little creep with your death threats. Warped and
psycho. But, you're an RVer so I'm not at all surprised by that.

Now, here's an example of animal behavior. Strange but I'd bet Jimi is
white. Is it OK to call him and people like him "white trash?"

That's like the retarded bullfighter, who stuffed a potatoe down the
back of his pants instead of the front, so ladies would think he was
hung.

What's "early"? Can a person die late? I always thought whenever you
die, that is the proper time.

Not for me.  Nor most RVers that I know.  So you are WRONG!

>9) ignore the doctor. It's hard to visit your doc regularly when on the

I see the doctors (Heart and Oncologist along with GP) as they
schedule and I travel 5-6 Months a year.  WRONG AGAIN!

>8) dumb down your brain. Sitting and driving is dumbing down your brain.

Can you cite learned studies that so show?  No?  Once again WRONG

>7) questionable sex practices. RVers are probably very promiscuous. One
>swinger even posted here soliticing.

One of the biggest reaches for a slam I have ever seen.  Can we say
the same of trike/bike rides?  Sorry chad, WRONG AGAIN!  One 'swinger'
does not define a populace any more than YOU define bike riders.

>6) drive a lot. That's what RVers are all about, isn't it?

Not us. We drive to a scenic location, take pictures, drive our car
around the area and enjoy the beauty that IS the USA.  Apparently you
have no concept of this  since all you can come up with is hate.   So,
WRONG again!

>5) drink a lot. That's what RVers are all about, isn't it

I have only seen a RVer/Camper drunk on one occasion. Most I know do
not drink.  Almost NONE Smoke

>4) stress out. Driving RVs is stressful, no doubt about it. Neck,
>shoulders, back pain.

I have checked and can say that driving 100-250 miles a day is NOT
stressful.  God, chad, how wrong can anyone be?  

>3) watch TV. That's about all there is to do when camped.  

Not so in my experience.  Lots to do and enjoy.  WRONG #8!

>2) smoke. Most RVers still smoke for some strange reason.

Already addressed and, as usual, you are WRONG!

>1) eat junk. You RVers pretend to cook buy you mostly eat junk food at
>fast food.

We are in our 4th year of Part-Timing and I don't think we have eaten
'fast food' more than 5-10 times.  I just finished a two-fried egg,
toast/jelly and coffee breakfast.  Per Doctors recommendation!

>And you people think RVing is a good thing? Think again. Try getting a

>early.

What is early?

>Shad O'Shay

Wrong 10 out of 10!  Good score.
