RV Fultiming "Winter Camping" Questions

I’m not new to “winter camping” or 24/7 year round boondocking. I live in an area that gets 5 to 7 months of snow (more on a “cold” year), and usually spends 2 of those months at temps of -20F to -48F before wind chill factors (and living on the coast, we get a lot of high winds all year long). I lived fulltime in a tent since 2006 (no electricity, no running water, etc), during that time we had 3 blizzards (one which buried my tent under 9 feet of snow), 2 ice storms, and 5 hurricanes. So, extreme winter camping is a lifestyle for me. I love the cold and snow, I avoid the heat and hot climates.

I’m upgrading. I’m moving out of the tent and into a motorhome. I have not bought it yet, but the one I’m planning to buy is a 1988 Class A 31′ Georgie Boy TravelMaster. (Which has already been customized for fulltime boondocking, thus why I’m trying for this one first.) If they sell it before I come up with the cash to pay for it, I’ve got a few “back-up RVs” on my list, all are 1980s Class As. (After spending 2 years going in and out of every new and used RV, MH, TT, 5Th in the state I came to the conclusion I prefer the Class As of the ’80s.)

So, here’s the thing. I’ve never lived in a motorhome before. This is going to be a totally new thing for me (as well as being the LARGEST living space I’ve had in 36 years – I lived in a 16′x9′ beach cabin before the tent.). And me, living in the types of places I like to live I’m going to have to make sure it gets winterized for some heavy duty super cold regions. (Once in the motorhome I plan to spend a lot of time boondocking between Maine, Quebec, Yukon, Alaska, Colorado, etc, exploring the coldest iciest parts of North America – it’ll likely never see a warm day again once I own it!).

So my question is: what the heck do I need to do to my motorhome to winterize it? Does anyone have any advice on “RV Boondocking” in extreme cold regions

tagging Star Log – Test Post – Please Ignore – Thank you!

When starting a new blog, I like to set up all the “possible” tags I may use over the years to come, and so I have them in the clickable drop down menu of my dashboard, I put them all on the first few posts of the blog – This is a very old post, copied from Star Log, to put my tags on this blog. The only thing this post contains is a list of every tag I have every used on Star Log. As each tag list can only contain 200 characters, there well be several of these posts, until all tags have been inserted into this blogs drop down feature. So, you can just ignore this post as it is only useful to me the blogger and not you the reader.

UPDATE: My health since the stroke, the excommunication, the witch accusations, and Etiole . . .

Oh my – this has become quite a heavy trafficked lens. There was on day it had more than 3,000 visits. It is getting mountains of comments still, but, for the time being, the comments are still on hiatus. I just do not have the time to read all of them, and several are, well, not nice, and are frankly too upsetting for me to scroll through right now.

Sorry there has been no updates for a while. The excommunication thing is still ongoing, but from what I am seeing and hearing, while a few bishops and priests are adamant on wanting me excommunicated, they have had no luck convincing the higher authorities of The Church that they actually have a good solid case with reasonable grounds for excommunication. It’s like I said before – there is nothing in The Church’s handbooks that back up the accusations of these few local men, and it seems that the Salt Lake leadership is rather inclined to view these accusations to be just as silly and ludicrous as I myself feel they are.

However, the local bishop has put out a recommendation of disfellowship with in the local church congregation, in other words, members who formally had contact with me and called themselves my friends, as now “giving me the shunning I so rightly deserve”. Go figure. It’s not like I haven’t been shunned before. The first time I was shunned was when I was just 12 years old. Just goes to show how fickle these so-called “friends” really are. If that’s what they call friendship, well than I’m glad I never considered them to be my friends in the first place!

In any case, endless weeks of interviews and interrogation (which involved church leaders accusing me in “church court”, while I myself was not allowed to say a word in my own defense) has taken a toll on my health. I was scheduled for yet another of these closed door meetings with the Bishop and other church leaders on October 19th, 2009. However, I did not attend my scheduled interrogation because an hour prior to the meeting I had a stroke, which unfortunately has had a devastating effect on my health over all. I temporarily lost the ability to walk unaided or to lift anything. I also suffered from selective amnesia, which now results in my inability to remember anything that just happened to me. In other words I wake up today with no memory of yesterday. What little eyesight I had to begin with was also affected by the stroke. Formerly I could see about 8 inches from my face, now I can barely see 4 inches from my face, changing me from “nearly blind” to “legally blind”. It also had an effect on my ability to type, thus the reason you see a decrease in my blog posts, and my Squidoo lens building, and also why I retired from being a Squid Angel here on Squidoo. The stroke also weakened my over all immune system, resulting in my coming down with a server case of N1H1 the first week of November, and spent the most of November and December in a nearly bed ridden state.

I can’t remember the proper medical term for the type of stroke I had, I think it began with an “N”, but I am told that in simple terms it means “a stress induced mini-stroke brought on by a panic attack leading to a nervous breakdown leading to a stroke” and that this type of a stroke is a “warning sign” before a “major stroke” and that the only way to prevent the onset of a life threatening major stroke, is to remove all stress from ones life. I have to ask, how it is I am supposed to do that, when I have not left my house in nearly 20 years, and my stress is caused by the vandals that refuse to stop trespassing on my land to destroy my property, kill me pets, and than burned down my house forcing me to live under a tarp, all in the name of “driving out my demon”, “getting rid of the witch”, and doing it “because God told them to”. How do I get rid of this stress when it comes daily to my secluded near impossible to locate home? I only ever left my house to go to church on Sundays, and it’s been 9 years since I’ve done that, due to the fact that members took to shooting me with paint ball guns every time I tried to go into the church! How do I end the stress when I have to deal with these types of idiots who have nothing better to do than barge in uninvited into my life and harass me? It’s bad enough I have no one to help me, but why do people have to go out of their way to hurt me? I fail to see the logic behind their actions.

I am, happy to report that, as of January 2010, I have regained my ability to walk, and my ability to lift things, so I’m back to carrying 50lb bags of grain and cat-food across the 500 foot path from the street to the barn several times a week. 19 cats and 100 chickens, take a lot of feed each week, and normally I carry 2 bags at a time on my shoulders, (100lbs) but the stroke had left me unable to lift more than 4 or 5 lbs at a time. Seeing how I had no friends or family to help me while I was in my invalid state, I had no choice but to carry the cat-food and grain across the yard to the barn, in mixing bowls, because I was unable to lift anything heavier at the time.

Funny, I asked for help from some church members, so-called friends, and family members, and the answer I got back was: “You’ve got Etiole to help you. Have him carry the grain.” Their sarcasm is duly noted, and I would like to take this time to answer them. Etiole as I have said before is a frail little creature. He is barely bigger than a small child. He stands about 5′ 1″ to 5′ 3″, is desperately underweight, I seriously doubt if he weighs much more than 50lbs, and besides all that he is a notoriously fastidious fop. Besides his lack of body build, there is also his health to consider – as I said before, his health is not good, he is very weak, and rarely moves around much any more. Another thing to consider is his age. He is elderly, very elderly. He is the equivalent of a Human man in his 80s or 90s. Etiole is very, very, very, very old. He is near the end of his natural lifespan. Plus he has “germ issues”, very OCD germ issues, that keep him far away from from contact with farm manure. And did I mention he’s a fop? A fop = a man who could be best described as acting and dressing like an fancy, high society, elite, snob female. I did say he’s a drag queen. He won’t get his hands dirty. He won’t lift a thing. He’s the type who’d have a major overblown panic attack over a broken nail or a wrinkle in his dress. So, even if he could lift anything (which he can’t), he wouldn’t. No, Etiole is the farthest thing in the world from helpful when farm work is concerned.

The people who made the suggestion are already aware of these things, so their suggestion was nothing more than seething sarcasm, which is as about as helpful to me as a pile of ant dung. And so, I continue the farm work, alone, but since the stroke, it has become a chore in itself just for me to walk the huge long path from the road, down the cliff, across the collapsed bridge over the brook, through the garden, to the woods, to the barn.

During the course of my severely weakened sick state, I was called in to the Bishop’s office on several more occasions, however, I being too sick to get out of bed, and only leaving my sickbed long enough to feed the cats and hens each day than crawl back into bed, I thus did not go to any farther meetings with the Church leadership. They won’t stop. I don’t know how to get them to stop. I don’t bother them, I don’t talk to them, I don’t see them, I don’t even leave my yard any more in order to avoid them, and yet, they are relentless. If any one knows of any way to get these creeps out of my life once and for all – please let me know. Though, the fact that 16 of these people died in 2009, all from “freak accidents” -such as being hit by falling limbs or lightening, does indicate that if they don’t stop soon, Etiole is just going to annihilate the whole lot of them. In any case, with 16 of the reoccurring vandals now dead in the past 7 months, I have had a greatly reduced amount of vandalism and stress, seeing how dead vandals can no longer invade my land and vandalize it.

Those people who told me to ask Etiole to help me, I guess, when people say to ask Etiole for help, they don’t realize what that implies. He may not be able to lift a bag of grain, but he is good at changing local weather patterns and sending hail and lightening where-ever he wants it to go. So, in a way, I guess you could say that he helps out around the farm in his own way.

Waiting for Emmett to come.

Misses my PNG friends.

Those who’ve followed me long enough will remember my older writing career, in the days when I was writing a curriculum for a farm school and translating books from English to Chimbu. Was just thinking about that today, and how so much more than just personal possessions was taken away from me by the vandals who made these past 7 years of my life a living hell.

In 2004 I was getting ready to go to PNG to set up a sort of “farming school” for a Chimbu Tribe that I had been corresponding with. I had already started writing the “curriculum” and was working with the tribe’s leader getting all the plans set up.

Unfortunately it was during that time that the flood hit and my dad ended up in the coma. All my plans got changed and I couldn’t go overseas because I had to stay and take care of my dad. It was a big disappointment for both me and the tribe. :(

I had planned on picking up my goal after my dad got better, but in the time since than, travel laws to PNG changed and now I can’t go at all. :( It is still my goal to do this, and hopefully the PNG gov laws will change back to allowing “missionary workers” to enter the country again, but no idea if or when that’ll ever happen now. :(

I had even learned their language (with the help of the tribe’s leader) and had books printed in their language, and was working to translate books into PNG/Chimbu Pigdin.

The tribe was some 500 miles from the nearest road, living on the side of a volcano, and had almost zero contact with “modern civilization”. It was one of the last tribes completely untouched by the world.

The flood/fire took away so much from me – and others. It was very upsetting because nearly 10 years of planning and research had been put into this project, and than overnight it was taken away. :(

Waiting for Emmett to come.

PLEASE . . . . somebody, anybody. . . . PLEASE HELP ME!

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

They just now, just called again. Again demanding that I come into the the bishop’s office at the church tonight, again demanding that I meet with the Stake President. And again it has triggered a mass panic attack. It’s happening again. JUST LIKE BEFORE. I can’t stop shaking. My chest hurts and my lungs hurt. My hands are shaking so bad I can barely type this. It’s like before. Only, I’m shaking a lot worse, it’s so bad my glasses keep falling off. I can’t stop shaking. I can’t breath.

It’s like before, like a panic attack, only really, really, really bad. Why won’t they leave me alone. I need them to leave me alone. Please make them leave me alone. I don’t know if I can live through many more of these stroke like attacks. I have one every time they call. Please make them stop calling me. Tell them to leave me a lone. Please help me. I can’t stop shaking. My whole body is skaking all over I don’t know what to do.

Please call the church at 607-9517 or 207-666-3481 and tell them to leave me alone (I find the 666 in their # ironic) Ask for Robert Taylor. He is the counselor in charge of handling phone calls to the Stake Presadent of the Augusta Maine Stake.

Note – I have not been to the LDS/Mormon church in 13 years, and yet, they continue to harass me on an almost daily basis. :(

In 2004 I started writing “Faith Not Religion”, my infamous 900 page rant on why I left the Mormon church. It was during the two years where I just sat there doing nothing but writing that book that I finally realized for the first time in my life that I WASN’T evil, like so many bishop kept telling me! I wasn’t demon possessed, like so many bishop kept telling me . What I was, was a victim of 27 years of mental and emotional abuse at the hands of a bunch of crazy tyrants. While writing “Faith Not Religion” I learned quite a bit about myself. Among them I learned:
I’m tired of being told I’m a witch.
I’m tired of being told I’m evil.
I’m tired of being told I do the things I do because I’m possessed by a demon.
I’m tired of being told I’m going to hell.
I’m tired of being told I’m inferior because I’m a lowly female.
I’m tired of being told not to talk because that’s reserved for men.
I’m just plain tired of BEING TOLD.
Every one talks to me, no one ever talks with me.
I want freedom from BEING TOLD.
I wish, that there was someone who would actually treat me like I was a person. Like I was important. Like I mattered.
I’m tired of being harassed by these people.
I’m tired of it.
Putting up with the abuse all those years was killing me.
Them killing my pets was an evil act.
Them paintballing my car was an evil act.
Them throwing rocks at and blinding my horse, was an evil act.
Them burning my drawings in the woodstove was and evil act.
Them burning my manuscripts in the wood stove was an evil act.
Them saying I was evil was an evil act.
They were the ones who were evil, not me.
Not being allowed to get a job because I was a female, was an evil thing for them to do to me.
Them smashing my Liberace` records was an evil act.
Them stealing parts off of my car and leaving it in ruins was an evil act.
Them setting fire to my home and leaving me homeless was an evil act.

Please put an end to this before they cause my death. I don’t think I can live through another stroke. PLEASE HELP ME!. Please call the church at 607-9517 or 207-666-3481 and tell them to leave me alone (I find the 666 in their # ironic) Ask for Robert Taylor. He is the counselor in charge of handling phone calls to the Stake Presadent of the Augusta Maine Stake. Please. call him. PLEASE! Why won’t they leave me alone. I need them to leave me alone. Please make them leave me alone. I don’t know if I can live through many more of these stroke like attacks. I have one every time they call. Please make them stop calling me. Tell them to leave me a lone. Please help me. I can’t stop shaking. My whole body is shaking all over I don’t know what to do. Please some one help me.

I know the first answer is going to be “Go to the hospital.” but before you say that, I’ve tried going to the hospital many times in the past. The receptionist starts filling out my info – asks what type of insurance I have – I tell her I don’t have and can’t get any. (the links tells you why in more detail, I posted about this before.) As soon as they hear that, they stop filling out my forms and tell me to leave, saying they are not allowed to treat any one without medical insurance. :( :( :( I have not seen a doctor since I was 17 years old. The moment I turned 18, I was too old for insurance and was never eligible to get any from anywhere.

That said, I don’t know exactly what is wrong. I’ve never really had anything like this happen before, so I don’t know what is wrong or what to do about it. If you read my last post, you’ll know more about the events of this morning which, I’m assuming led up to this, and I’m also assuming that what is wrong is directly caused by an inordinate amount of stress, the past few years, which has been building up for the past few months.

My symptoms:

First off, my stomach (belly? gut? intestine? that basic area) feels like a giant wearing cleats is jumping on me. Lots of stabbing sharp pains in lots pf places, but all in the same basic area. They really, really hurt, really, really, bad. It’s like menstrual cramps only lots of them and magnified 100 times more painful. I can not stand up, I can barely sit up long enough to type this. My lower back is also aching, which I think may be a side effect of these stabbing pains.

Secondly, as mentioned in my last post - my heart is racing – it feels like it is just going faster and faster and faster – like someone put it into overdrive and it is stuck there and can’t slow down, it can only beat faster. It feels like my heart has multiplied and there are now hundreds of tiny hearts all over me – in my lungs, my head, my ears, my neck, my arms – I guess that must be a throbbing caused by my blood trying to speed up fast enough to match my heart rate? That’s the only thing I can thinks of that it must be.

My lungs feel, i don’t know – weird – it’s really hard to breath, like someone reached in and is squeezing them so I can’t breath. I don’t know how else to describe it.

My head is pounding – it feels like there are sledge hammers all around me – pounding me from all sides. It hurts an awful lot. I’ve never had a headache that felt like this before. It’s a very scary feeling.

I am very, very, very, very dizzy – my head feels like a balloon, like it’s not there – like it filled with helium and floated away – a very light headed feeling – I do not think I could stand up or walk right now with out falling over. This seems to be spreading – my arms feel like they are going numb, making it hard for me to type this. It’s a very weird and scary sensation, because it is like I am losing control over my body.

I don’t know what to do. I know I should go to the hospital, but I can’t because I don’t have insurance. I don’t have a doctor I can call either, because of the same reason. Please help. If any one knows what I can do to stop this pian, please let me know. Thank you.

EDIT

I must have passed out – I don’t remember falling asleep. :( Just woke up and I’m wicked dizzy – but I don’t hurt as much as I did last night. That was about 4 AM and it’s now 9:30 AM. Just looked in the mirror – all my color is gone – I’m whiter than white. Not sure what caused that????? I’ve got a weird chill now – my whole body feels like I’m burning up (I must have a really high fever or something) but I’m freezing cold at the same time – I can’t stop shivering. My right side hurts – like my right ovary is throbbing – in that area – do ovaries throb? I’m not good with biology – I don’t know what else is in that area.


I’m so dizzy right now – everything is like it’s all spinning around me. I walked to the bathroom and back, but I felt top heavy, like I was gonna fall over – had to hold on to the wall to walk. My head is throbbing and my eyes hurt – everything is blurry, more so than usual – that’s not good, I’m also blind as it is – I can barely see 8 inches in front of me on a good day. :( I feel really strange – like I’m not attached to my body, or something, I don’t know how else to describe it, it’s just a really weird sensation. I think I need to lay down. I can’t stop shivering – I’m going to go make a hot-water-bottle and than go to bed.

It’s times like this, I wish I had a husband to take care of me. I really hate being alone. Even if I just had a friend I could talk to, would be nice. Church members and their superstitious crazed hysterics saw to that. Twenty years of being shunned. It makes life really hard when no one will look at you let alone talk to you. :( In a few weeks it should have been my 7th anniversary. Church leaders put a stop to the wedding. November is a really bad month for me – most every death in my life happened in November. The wedding that got canceled was supposed to be in November. Maybe that’s why I throw myself into NaNoWriMo with such a driving force – to try to forget. :(

The moment I turned 18, I was too old for insurance and was never eligible to get any from anywhere.

That said, I don’t know exactly what is wrong. I’ve never really had anything like this happen before, so I don’t know what is wrong or what to do about it. If you read my last post, you’ll know more about the events of this morning which, I’m assuming led up to this, and I’m also assuming that what is wrong is directly caused by an inordinate amount of stress, the past few years, which has been building up for the past few months.

My symptoms:

First off, my stomach (belly? gut? intestine? that basic area) feels like a giant wearing cleats is jumping on me. Lots of stabbing sharp pains in lots pf places, but all in the same basic area. They really, really hurt, really, really, bad. It’s like menstrual cramps only lots of them and magnified 100 times more painful. I can not stand up, I can barely sit up long enough to type this. My lower back is also aching, which I think may be a side effect of these stabbing pains.

Secondly, as mentioned in my last post - my heart is racing – it feels like it is just going faster and faster and faster – like someone put it into overdrive and it is stuck there and can’t slow down, it can only beat faster. It feels like my heart has multiplied and there are now hundreds of tiny hearts all over me – in my lungs, my head, my ears, my neck, my arms – I guess that must be a throbbing caused by my blood trying to speed up fast enough to match my heart rate? That’s the only thing I can thinks of that it must be.

My lungs feel, i don’t know – weird – it’s really hard to breath, like someone reached in and is squeezing them so I can’t breath. I don’t know how else to describe it.

My head is pounding – it feels like there are sledge hammers all around me – pounding me from all sides. It hurts an awful lot. I’ve never had a headache that felt like this before. It’s a very scary feeling.

I am very, very, very, very dizzy – my head feels like a balloon, like it’s not there – like it filled with helium and floated away – a very light headed feeling – I do not think I could stand up or walk right now with out falling over. This seems to be spreading – my arms feel like they are going numb, making it hard for me to type this. It’s a very weird and scary sensation, because it is like I am losing control over my body.

I don’t know what to do. I know I should go to the hospital, but I can’t because I don’t have insurance. I don’t have a doctor I can call either, because of the same reason. Please help. If any one knows what I can do to stop this pian, please let me know. Thank you.

EDIT

I must have passed out – I don’t remember falling asleep. :( Just woke up and I’m wicked dizzy – but I don’t hurt as much as I did last night. That was about 4 AM and it’s now 9:30 AM. Just looked in the mirror – all my color is gone – I’m whiter than white. Not sure what caused that????? I’ve got a weird chill now – my whole body feels like I’m burning up (I must have a really high fever or something) but I’m freezing cold at the same time – I can’t stop shivering. My right side hurts – like my right ovary is throbbing – in that area – do ovaries throb? I’m not good with biology – I don’t know what else is in that area. 


I’m so dizzy right now – everything is like it’s all spinning around me. I walked to the bathroom and back, but I felt top heavy, like I was gonna fall over – had to hold on to the wall to walk. My head is throbbing and my eyes hurt – everything is blurry, more so than usual – that’s not good, I’m also blind as it is – I can barely see 8 inches in front of me on a good day. :( I feel really strange – like I’m not attached to my body, or something, I don’t know how else to describe it, it’s just a really weird sensation. I think I need to lay down. I can’t stop shivering – I’m going to go make a hot-water-bottle and than go to bed.

It’s times like this, I wish I had a husband to take care of me. I really hate being alone. Even if I just had a friend I could talk to, would be nice. Church members and their superstitious crazed hysterics saw to that. Twenty years of being shunned. It makes life really hard when no one will look at you let alone talk to you. :( In a few weeks it should have been my 7th anniversary. Church leaders put a stop to the wedding. November is a really bad month for me – most every death in my life happened in November. The wedding that got canceled was supposed to be in November. Maybe that’s why I throw myself into NaNoWriMo with such a driving force – to try to forget. :(

HELP! Any doctors out there? Medical advice?

black birdOld Orchard Beach Sea Shellsblack bird

I know the first answer is going to be “Go to the hospital.” but before you say that, I’ve tried going to the hospital many times in the past. The receptionist starts filling out my info – asks what type of insurance I have – I tell her I don’t have and can’t get any. (the links tells you why in more detail, I posted about this before.)

In 1979 two children were startled to see what they described to adults as a small white monkey, sitting in the tree. What was strange about this was that the sighting occurred in the far north of New England, in a pine forest in Maine. Odder still was the children’s insistence that the “monkey” could talk and had asked the children to follow him into the forest.

At first adults were quick to dismiss the sighting as nothing more than over active imaginations, but when more sightings followed they started to pay attention. As the years passed church leaders would take it upon themselves to use violent and shocking measures to keep the girl quiet about what she had seen.

Today, thirty years after the original sighting of the white monkey, the girl, now the woman known to many simply as EelKat the homeless Crazy Cat Woman of Maine, has agreed to be interviewed to tell the story, of the ever illusive white monkey of Maine, and the years of hell that followed at the hands of religious fanatics.

OMG! I’m Getting Excomunicated from the LDS Church for Writing My 200 NaNoWriMo Book!!!!!! WTH???

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

OMG! I’m Getting Excomunicated from the LDS Church for Writing This Squidoo Lens!!!!!! WTH??? 

UPDATE: added July 23, 2009

Well, as some of you may know from reading my blog posts, and FB comments, the 9 years of vandalism that lead to my becoming homeless, came to a sudden end after a huge fire swept through our town and killed several people in February of 2008. For the rest of the year, I finally and at last had a few months of peace and quiet without rocks and paintballs and death threats or people setting fire to my house. However, the rumors that I was a witch with a poltergeist demon, started growing worse – people were just too terrified after the fire to do any more vandalism, because as they have told me on countless occasion, they believed I had sent a demon to curse them and that’s how the fire got started. (I think it may be safe to say I live in a town full of superstitious redneck hicks!)

So I had a rare year without violence being done to my family, until February of 2009, when things started up again, and the outspoken talk of my “demon” went on an all out rampage, driving me once again, back into my agoraphobic state due to the threat of violence every time I leave the house. Well, I mentioned this online and oe of my newer FB friends who did not know the situation but was seeing the nasty comments local church members were leaving all over my profile, and asked me what these people were talking about, and what this so-called demon it was that they kept accusing me of sending after them. To answer their questions I wrote, what has become undoubtedly my most controversial, flamed, blasted, and outragougously hated Squidoo lens ever: http://www.squidoo.com/amphibious-aliens which told the story of my encounter with a strange creature I met when I was 4 years old, and due to my refusal to deny what I had seen, would result in years of accusations of witchcraft, demon possession, violence, and vandalism, which reached it’s height in 2006 when these people decided to set fire to my home and kill my pets as a desperate attempt to “drive out my demon”. (The fire was supposed to be an exorcism of sorts, though I never quite understood how that was exactly.)

Well in any case, this lens just reached it’s 5th month birthday, and the traffic and comments and emails and IMs have been coming at ever increasing levels, with church members now crying out in one accord, demanding that I delete my lens and beg forgiveness of God. Last night, this ongoing saga reached a strange and unexpected new level which totally took me by surprise. Some of you may be aware of a “battle” that ensured on FaceBook about 2 weeks ago, when 2 church members died suddenly, and the whole kit and kaboodle of the rest of the members within hours of the deaths, landed on my FaceBook profile with accusation after accusation, all accusing me of being a witch and putting a curse on these 2 men causing their deaths. I told them all exactly what I thought of their accusations, which I found appualing and laughable. With in 2 hours I lost more than 200 friends off my FaceBook account as one by one they took to writing on each others walls and telling each other to “punish” me by deleting me off their friends list. I told them I was better off without them and I didn’t care if they left or not. In the end, only 2 members of the church are still on my friends list. The rest now shun me . . . hey, shunning is better than vandalism at least!

Well, than last night, my dad, received a phone call (I don’t have a phone) from the bishop asking me to meet him at his office. And I spent the next half hour being told by the bishop that I was a witch, an apostate, an evil caster of spells, and than he throew the ultimatum on me: delete my “wicked website of lies or be excommunicated”. I now have 2 weeks to delete my “evil” Squidoo lens, after which time, if it has not been deleted, he will be bringing in the church council and start excomunication procedures!

Well, if in 30 years, I have stood up against them never refusing to deny the existence of this strange creature, why would I suddenly do so now? I’m not denying what I saw, I’m not deleting my lens, and so, I have one new experience to add to my Squidoo experience – in 2 weeks I’ll be excommunicated, and I can say it was Squidoo that did it! :) LOL! :) UGH! These people are so crazy, and this, is just proving it even more. Oh well, I guess I can always find a new church to attend, right?

And now I ask you, can you see any reason why I should delete my lens? What exactly is it that they find so wrong with it anyways? How is this “proof” that I am a witch? I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about! I think they are being waaaay to over sensitive here. I mean, what exactly is it that they find wrong with it? I have to ask here: What would Jesus do? Would Jesus attack, harass, vandalize, condemn, and hate? I don’t think so!

Well, knowing me, I can’t have questions unanswered, and the bishop was not answering my questions (How is it he justifies calling me a witch? How is it justifies accusing me of casting spells and putting curses on church members? What is wrong with my web site that I must delete it or be excommunicated?) For each question I asked I got the same answer “Because you are a witch, that’s why.” Well la-dee-da! So I’m a witch. You said that already, I want to know by WHAT justification, logic, reasoning, and PROOF is he calling me a witch! Telling me that I am a witch, and than when I ask why he says I’m a witch, he responds with “Because you are a witch.” DOES NOT answer my question!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, since I’ve never before had to think about the topic of excommunication, and the bishop was not explaining his reasonings in any form of intelligence, I went to the church website to see if I could find any answers there. Here is what I found:

 

    Excommunication: A disciplinary process used only in extreme situations. This includes removal of an individual’s name from the records of the Church. Excommunicated individuals have the opportunity to return and have their Church membership restored through the process of repentance and baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. Bishops and branch presidents and stake, mission, and district presidents have a responsibility to help members overcome transgression through repentance. The most serious transgressions, such as serious violations of civil law, spouse abuse, child abuse, adultery, fornication, rape, and incest, often require formal Church discipline. Formal Church discipline may include restriction of Church membership privileges or loss of Church membership.Source: www.lds.org
Nope, says nothing about witches or witchcraft. I still can’t figure out where they get off accusing me of being a witch or how I could possible be the cause of all the fires, illnesses, and deaths that have run rampant in the local wards lately.

I find it odd reading this and knowing that one of the men who accused me yesterday beats his wife on a weekly basis to the point that she has repeated broken fingers, hands, arms, and legs, and can usually be seen with one or both black eyes. (a former bishop I might add) So why didn’t they excommunicate him? or what about the 3 REGISTERED sex offenders in the ward, one who raped boy scouts during his time as scout master. or the criminal crime lord of Old Orchard Beach himself – vandal, and arsonist supreme – run out of FOUR separate towns in FOUR separate states, and currently dodging a federal investigation (and is the man whom I’m accused of putting curses on btw); you want me to make a list of all the men cheating on their wives in that ward – that’s one hell of a list . . . long, long, list; and what about incest – yep, there’s a guy who did 3 years in prison for it, I didn’t see them excommunicating him.

Witchcraft??? – LOL! Are we living in the 21st century or the 1500′s here? They can turn a blind eye to the wife beaters, the child rapists, the incest, the adultery, all things on the list, but they make a big issue out of false accusations of witchcraft, which is NOT on the list? Good God! Where are their priorities?

“Excommunication: A disciplinary process used only in extreme situations.” so, witchcraft is an extreme situation? That’s nice. Where’s your proof? I looked up the news reports on those people I supposedly killed by casting spells on – one was in Florida, one was in Utah, and I’ve never meet either of them. In what court of law can they condemn me with accusations of witchcraft? The judge would laugh them out of court and tell them the get a mental evaluation!

Are these people freaking psychotic? I’m sorry but I just can not understand the logic he is using here. Granted – they (the church members) have been accusing me of witchcraft since I was 4 years old (I have Autism and I talk to a creature whom only 3 others have seen, whom I refer to as my guardian angel, but they call him a demon) Since I was 4 years old, I’ve been accused of witchcraft, demon possession, and poltergeist. FOUR YEARS OLD! These accusation have been going on for 30 years exactly this September!

Why? Because I talk to Etiole. That’s why. I’m being excommunicated from the church because I refuse to deny his existence and therefor am a witch consorting with demons and putting curses on members of the ward. Lovely. I talk to something that is best described as an angel of god and that makes me an evil witch. Interesting thing about that is Joesph Smith talked to dozens of angels and even god himself! I guess that make J Smith a witch too. So, will they be excommuncating the founder of the church as well?

I’m at this very moment seriously beginning to question religion. Why? Because of my experience in faerie/angel/alien/ufo contact resulting in me being called a demon possessed witch who consorts with Satan! Because I published my encounter online, I’m now being excomuunicated from the LDS church (after being a member for 34 years, and growing up in a family that was from the trail that headed west – we are the freaking Atwaters of the Atwater Trail for crying out loud!) because I refuse to delete the website and deny the events that happened and admit before the Church Disciplinary Council that I am a witch! And these people call ME crazy? It’s the 21st century not the 1500′s, where do they get off accusing me of witchcraft and making me go to a “church court” and demand I plead guilty of witchcraft? They are using Old Testament referances as “proof” of my being a witch. OMG! I feel like I’ve walked into some freaky nightmare, and these people call themselves a Church?

Well, I just needed to get that off my chest, thank you for listening.

To answer their questions I wrote, what has become undoubtedly my most controversial, flamed, blasted, and outragougously hated Squidoo lens ever: http://www.squidoo.com/amphibious-aliens which told the story of my encounter with a strange creature I met when I was 4 years old, and due to my refusal to deny what I had seen, would result in years of accusations of witchcraft, demon possession, violence, and vandalism, which reached it’s height in 2006 when these people decided to set fire to my home and kill my pets as a desperate attempt to “drive out my demon”. (The fire was supposed to be an exorcism of sorts, though I never quite understood how that was exactly.)

Well in any case, this lens just reached it’s 5th month birthday, and the traffic and comments and emails and IMs have been coming at ever increasing levels, with church members now crying out in one accord, demanding that I delete my lens and beg forgiveness of God. Last night, this ongoing saga reached a strange and unexpected new level which totally took me by surprise. Some of you may be aware of a “battle” that ensured on FaceBook about 2 weeks ago, when 2 church members died suddenly, and the whole kit and kaboodle of the rest of the members within hours of the deaths, landed on my FaceBook profile with accusation after accusation, all accusing me of being a witch and putting a curse on these 2 men causing their deaths. I told them all exactly what I thought of their accusations, which I found appualing and laughable. With in 2 hours I lost more than 200 friends off my FaceBook account as one by one they took to writing on each others walls and telling each other to “punish” me by deleting me off their friends list. I told them I was better off without them and I didn’t care if they left or not. In the end, only 2 members of the church are still on my friends list. The rest now shun me . . . hey, shunning is better than vandalism at least!

Well, than last night, my dad, received a phone call (I don’t have a phone) from the bishop asking me to meet him at his office. And I spent the next half hour being told by the bishop that I was a witch, an apostate, an evil caster of spells, and than he throew the ultimatum on me: delete my “wicked website of lies or be excommunicated”. I now have 2 weeks to delete my “evil” Squidoo lens, after which time, if it has not been deleted, he will be bringing in the church council and start excomunication procedures!

Well, if in 30 years, I have stood up against them never refusing to deny the existence of this strange creature, why would I suddenly do so now? I’m not denying what I saw, I’m not deleting my lens, and so, I have one new experience to add to my Squidoo experience – in 2 weeks I’ll be excommunicated, and I can say it was Squidoo that did it! :) LOL! :) UGH! These people are so crazy, and this, is just proving it even more. Oh well, I guess I can always find a new church to attend, right?

And now I ask you, can you see any reason why I should delete my lens? What exactly is it that they find so wrong with it anyways? How is this “proof” that I am a witch? I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about! I think they are being waaaay to over sensitive here. I mean, what exactly is it that they find wrong with it? I have to ask here: What would Jesus do? Would Jesus attack, harass, vandalize, condemn, and hate? I don’t think so!

Well, knowing me, I can’t have questions unanswered, and the bishop was not answering my questions (How is it he justifies calling me a witch? How is it justifies accusing me of casting spells and putting curses on church members? What is wrong with my web site that I must delete it or be excommunicated?) For each question I asked I got the same answer “Because you are a witch, that’s why.” Well la-dee-da! So I’m a witch. You said that already, I want to know by WHAT justification, logic, reasoning, and PROOF is he calling me a witch! Telling me that I am a witch, and than when I ask why he says I’m a witch, he responds with “Because you are a witch.” DOES NOT answer my question!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways, since I’ve never before had to think about the topic of excommunication, and the bishop was not explaining his reasonings in any form of intelligence, I went to the church website to see if I could find any answers there. Here is what I found:

 

    Excommunication: A disciplinary process used only in extreme situations. This includes removal of an individual’s name from the records of the Church. Excommunicated individuals have the opportunity to return and have their Church membership restored through the process of repentance and baptism by immersion for the remission of sins. Bishops and branch presidents and stake, mission, and district presidents have a responsibility to help members overcome transgression through repentance. The most serious transgressions, such as serious violations of civil law, spouse abuse, child abuse, adultery, fornication, rape, and incest, often require formal Church discipline. Formal Church discipline may include restriction of Church membership privileges or loss of Church membership.Source: www.lds.org
Nope, says nothing about witches or witchcraft. I still can’t figure out where they get off accusing me of being a witch or how I could possible be the cause of all the fires, illnesses, and deaths that have run rampant in the local wards lately.

I find it odd reading this and knowing that one of the men who accused me yesterday beats his wife on a weekly basis to the point that she has repeated broken fingers, hands, arms, and legs, and can usually be seen with one or both black eyes. (a former bishop I might add) So why didn’t they excommunicate him? or what about the 3 REGISTERED sex offenders in the ward, one who raped boy scouts during his time as scout master. or the criminal crime lord of Old Orchard Beach himself – vandal, and arsonist supreme – run out of FOUR separate towns in FOUR separate states, and currently dodging a federal investigation (and is the man whom I’m accused of putting curses on btw); you want me to make a list of all the men cheating on their wives in that ward – that’s one hell of a list . . . long, long, list; and what about incest – yep, there’s a guy who did 3 years in prison for it, I didn’t see them excommunicating him.

Witchcraft??? – LOL! Are we living in the 21st century or the 1500′s here? They can turn a blind eye to the wife beaters, the child rapists, the incest, the adultery, all things on the list, but they make a big issue out of false accusations of witchcraft, which is NOT on the list? Good God! Where are their priorities?

“Excommunication: A disciplinary process used only in extreme situations.” so, witchcraft is an extreme situation? That’s nice. Where’s your proof? I looked up the news reports on those people I supposedly killed by casting spells on – one was in Florida, one was in Utah, and I’ve never meet either of them. In what court of law can they condemn me with accusations of witchcraft? The judge would laugh them out of court and tell them the get a mental evaluation!

Are these people freaking psychotic? I’m sorry but I just can not understand the logic he is using here. Granted – they (the church members) have been accusing me of witchcraft since I was 4 years old (I have Autism and I talk to a creature whom only 3 others have seen, whom I refer to as my guardian angel, but they call him a demon) Since I was 4 years old, I’ve been accused of witchcraft, demon possession, and poltergeist. FOUR YEARS OLD! These accusation have been going on for 30 years exactly this September!

Why? Because I talk to Etiole. That’s why. I’m being excommunicated from the church because I refuse to deny his existence and therefor am a witch consorting with demons and putting curses on members of the ward. Lovely. I talk to something that is best described as an angel of god and that makes me an evil witch. Interesting thing about that is Joesph Smith talked to dozens of angels and even god himself! I guess that make J Smith a witch too. So, will they be excommuncating the founder of the church as well?

I’m at this very moment seriously beginning to question religion. Why? Because of my experience in faerie/angel/alien/ufo contact resulting in me being called a demon possessed witch who consorts with Satan! Because I published my encounter online, I’m now being excomuunicated from the LDS church (after being a member for 34 years, and growing up in a family that was from the trail that headed west – we are the freaking Atwaters of the Atwater Trail for crying out loud!) because I refuse to delete the website and deny the events that happened and admit before the Church Disciplinary Council that I am a witch! And these people call ME crazy? It’s the 21st century not the 1500′s, where do they get off accusing me of witchcraft and making me go to a “church court” and demand I plead guilty of witchcraft? They are using Old Testament referances as “proof” of my being a witch. OMG! I feel like I’ve walked into some freaky nightmare, and these people call themselves a Church?

Well, I just needed to get that off my chest, thank you for listening.

Editing today.

I am adding more pages to my 900 page book “Faith Not Religion” instead of editing it down to a publishable 200 pages like I was supposed to be doing. But on a better note I’ve got the 458 page “For Fear of Little Men” edited down to 275 pages! YES! It’s almost ready to go to press!

writing more in, is so much easier than editing to less

I think I may need to chop “Faith Not Religion” into several smaller books instead of one big book, because I’m having too hard a time editing it down.

I can’t believe after 27 years of writing short story fiction I’ve started writing book length non-fiction!

ever since that guy told me I should start a church (about 8 months ago, when I laughed and said that was a crazy idea) and the more I write this book (Faith Not Religion — I’ve got 5 books going at once here!) I’ve been thinking more and more on the fact that actually – he may be right. I guess it’s a good thing I don’t have the leadership personalty it takes to preach before an audience!

Faith Not Religion (non-fiction)
For Fear of Little Men (non-fiction)
–how to book with no title yet– (non-fiction)
–book about living with AS, not yet titled– (non-fiction)
SHIVER (fiction)
The Pearl Necklace (fiction)

I guess that’s 6 not 5. How evil of me to be writing six books. I wonder which church member will be the first to point that one out?

. . . and not a single new Twighlight Manor book since “Love Lust Madness” in 2006! OMG! I was writing them at a rate of one and half per year for 27 years! What a switch. I haven’t written a TM book since the year of the tent.

since it was “Friends Are Forever” (1993 edition) that caused most of the outrage and vandalism against my family, which resulted in us becoming homeless in 2006, I guess, you could say I’ve developed of phobia of writing the TM books now. Oh dear, that’s not good. The TM books were my source of income. of course, the TM books were fiction stories about Etiole, and “For Fear of Little Men” is the real life story behind the man himself, and how my writing books about him, lead to the vandalism which lead to my becoming homeless, so in a way, you could say I was writing another TM book, only a story behind the story instead of the story itself.

The whole ordeal of my life in the tent, the vandalism, the town manager’s greed, . . . everything . . . it’s all going into For Fear of Little Men, starting with the very first sighings of Etiole in the 1970′s, to the UFO sightings, to the early vandalisms, to the all out war resulting in them burning my home down.

Planning my new "house" today

I spent 3 hours in the tent (is a tarp over a woodpile a tent?) today, drawing up blueprints to rebuild it (after 3 years my tarp-house has finally suffered enough damage to need some serious repairs done.) I’m thinking it’ll be warmer if I line it with straw bales. A house would be even warmer, but whatever, I can’t afford a real house, I can afford a new tarp and some hay bales.

I’m surprised really, I didn’t expect it to last this long. Of course when I built it after the flood, our house was still repairable. Didn’t expect the fire to take out the rest of the house, or the vandals to destroy everything that survived after the fire. :( I only intended to use the “tent” for a couple of weeks, not 3 years!

The other day some one said to me: “You gotta get over what those people did. It happened 3 years ago.” How? Three years ago I had a house! Three years ago, they destroyed my home, left me homeless, and went back to the safety of their own home, but where did I have to go? Of course they got over what they did to me, they aren’t the ones living under a tarp!

Sure it happened three years ago and the wretches who did it have moved on. That doesn’t change the fact that unlike them, I have no home to go to. They don’t care that they stole my home from me, because they aren’t the ones living under a tarp!

Anyways, I think I can build a more permanent tent-thing if I build an igloo out of hay and than put the tarp over that, seeing how it looks like it’s going to be quite a few more years before I can save up enough money to put a real house back up.

I think I’ve figured out a way to cover the whole thing in dirt and let the grass grow over it, so that you won’t be able to see the tent from the road anymore. I’m having problems with all that ledge though. I can’t dig down to bury the tent in the hill, so I have to build the hill up around the tent instead. I just don’t know where I can get enough dirt to do that though.

I wonder if I could dig the peat up out of Etiole’s Swamp and use that to cover over the tent with? You gotta know where to step out there, cause there is quicksand in the swamp too, and it’s hard to dig because of all the dune grass and pine roots.

On paper it all works out, but I have to cut huge safety corners because I can’t afford any supplies and have to use whatever I can find in the woods.

What’s your take on this? I’d love to hear what you have to say about this post. Leave a comment and share your views!

Anyways, I think I can build a more permanent tent-thing if I build an igloo out of hay and than put the tarp over that, seeing how it looks like it’s going to be quite a few more years before I can save up enough money to put a real house back up.

I think I’ve figured out a way to cover the whole thing in dirt and let the grass grow over it, so that you won’t be able to see the tent from the road anymore. I’m having problems with all that ledge though. I can’t dig down to bury the tent in the hill, so I have to build the hill up around the tent instead. I just don’t know where I can get enough dirt to do that though.

I wonder if I could dig the peat up out of Etiole’s Swamp and use that to cover over the tent with? You gotta know where to step out there, cause there is quicksand in the swamp too, and it’s hard to dig because of all the dune grass and pine roots.

On paper it all works out, but I have to cut huge safety corners because I can’t afford any supplies and have to use whatever I can find in the woods.

What’s your take on this? I’d love to hear what you have to say about this post. Leave a comment and share your views!

Planning my new "house" today

black birdfall leaves centerblack bird

I spent 3 hours in the tent (is a tarp over a woodpile a tent?) today, drawing up blueprints to rebuild it (after 3 years my tarp-house has finally suffered enough damage to need some serious repairs done.) I’m thinking it’ll be warmer if I line it with straw bales. A house would be even warmer, but whatever, I can’t afford a real house, I can afford a new tarp and some hay bales.

I’m surprised really, I didn’t expect it to last this long. Of course when I built it after the flood, our house was still repairable. Didn’t expect the fire to take out the rest of the house, or the vandals to destroy everything that survived after the fire. :( I only intended to use the “tent” for a couple of weeks, not 3 years!

The other day some one said to me: “You gotta get over what those people did. It happened 3 years ago.” How? Three years ago I had a house! Three years ago, they destroyed my home, left me homeless, and went back to the safety of their own home, but where did I have to go? Of course they got over what they did to me, they aren’t the ones living under a tarp!

Still trying to find a way to put up a house.

black birdOld Orchard Beach Sea Shellsblack bird

I love this house boat! Reminds me of the house boat I had, but the town of Old Orchard Beach woun’t let me keep. :( I got it after they burnt down my house. It was an old house boat from the 40′s that I was going to fix up and live in. That was asfter they made me tear down the yurt I started building. :( . No house. No yurt. No house boat. That’s when I built the “tent” instead (http://www.squidoo.com/onbeinghomeless2 )

I love this gypsy wagon! So, yurts are illegal in Old Orchard, as are house boats (in a fishing village . . . house boats are illegal????) You can have campground type houses, thus the tent itself (a tarp over a wood pile) was legal in Old Orchard, as are RVs, which I can’t afford as I can’t find one for $200 or less. I wonder if a gypsy wagon could be called an old fashioned RV? It wouldn’t be very hard for me to build one.

you know . . . it wouldn’t be too hard for me the close in the Goldeneagle and turn it into a gypsy wagon. oooh! thoughts are flying! I’ve always wanted to get the Goldeneagle on the road again, but was thinking in terms of it running – driving, but what if I could get it moving by horse power instead?

I need a horse

A house barge would be nice! I know Old Orchard wouldn’t allow one of these. Can’t live in a house boat here. :(

Thinking on all this house issue stuff, seeing how the snow is finally gone, which means it’s time for me to fix the tent up for it’s third year of use. (I’m only “not homeless” in the winter when I stay with relatives during the heavy snow season). Summer is upon us and I’m not really looking forward to yet another year of “the tent”.
A Hobbit House! When I first built the “tent” I was planning one of these. Didn’t get very far though, because I hit ledge only a few inches down after I started digging. :( I wonder though, What if I changed my approach and built the dirt up instead of digging down into the hill? That could work. I could build a sod house in only a couple of days too, plus unlike the “tent” I could live in it year round.

I did have a tippi up for a while and loved living in that, it had much more room than the “tent” does, but it wasn’t very good at keeping out the rain and snow, thus the move to build “the tent” instead.

I really like the idea of a gypsy wagon. It’s closed in better, and is up off the ground, which means it’ll be warmer too. Too bad my horse died. :( If I still had my horse I could take to the road with a gypsy wagon, and not have to stay in one place.

I wonder how hard it would be to take 14 cats and 40 roosters on the road in a gypsy wagon? I suppose it wouldn’t be any harder than trying to live in a tent with them which I’m already doing. I remember a guy who did that back in the 70′s. He had a team of donkeys pulling the wagon, and a herd of goats behind him, and chicken crates on the roof. I think he was Amish. Anyone remember him?

You know . . . maybe I’m really a gypsy and didn’t know it, cause I’m really liking the idea of a gypsy wagon lifestyle. And my cloths do already scream witch . . . at least, people on the street tell me I’m dressed like a witch.

Reminds me of Toad in Winds in the Willows when he bought a “canary wagon”. I haven’t read that book since I was about 8 or 9 yeas old. I really liked Wind in the Willows. I should read it again.

I just remembered . . . I still have the frame for Thunder’s old horse trailer! I can use that to build a gypsy wagon with . . . or I could, if not for some high priest who cut down one of my giant pine trees and the tree (about 200 feet tall) is now laying on top of it. I need a chain saw so I can cut up the tree and get to the horse trailer.

I don’t have a problem with actually building a house. The problem I’m having is that I have no money to buy materials so I have to build with what I have already. I’m not sure I could build a sod house seeing as our land has so much ledge, I’d have to have the dirt brought in from someplace else and I can’t afford that. :( .

It’s depressing not having a house to live in, and knowing how to build several different types, but having no way to get the materials to build a single one of them.

Of course, there’s no guarantee that once I finally do get another house back up, that they won’t just burn it down again. I need to move away from these people, but I don’t see why I should leave my home, when my family has been here for over 300 years and the people trying to make me leave moved here in the last 10 years!

A sod house would be pretty burn proof though and I could plant a garden on the roof too!


“Whenever we spend money or play an active role in society, take time to consider the consequences of our actions. Buying a tank of fuel supports the violent occupation of the middle east, buying cheap clothes supports sweatshops and child labour, buying from transnational corporations funds the extraction of capital from poorer countries and the erosion of human rights.” ~Simon Saville
