"Then, on some trip to the car"
This is the part that always gets me.

I have gotten a couple extra bags just to have a double rotation. If I go to set my bags by the door and some are already there, I just suck it up and take them all to the car right then.

Ah, I see. It was only a "you might" so I suppose I didn’t quite see it as diagnosing they way I am used to seeing it done from other post experiences. But, understandable.

I don't know why they downvotes. Parallel play isn't for everyone but it's a great idea to try, neurodivergent or not, to see if that satisfies both parties on feeling they spent some quality time together.

McBride hosts a YouTube channel titled "Judgment Day With Joe McBride." He claims that someone attempted to assassinate him for his role representing January 6 defendants by remotely taking control of his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport and attempting to cause him to crash at high speed. He additionally claims that in the aftermath of this assassination attempt, his 2020 BMW X5 M-Sport would only drive in reverse, and that he drove from the Fort McHenry Tunnel to Washington D.C. (approximately 39 miles) in reverse.[39]

He additionally claims that he simultaneously experienced Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, the Epstein-Barr virus, and long COVID after being vaccinated for COVID-19.[40]

I wouldn't have gone to the site if you wouldn't have noted that!

That was actually a bit more interesting than I expected. The funeral homes sued her for practicing without a license as funeral director/embalmer. Which, isn't what they do. But they do probably take money away from funeral homes by discussing different ways to go.
I myself, really want to be put in a body farm!!

Had them go ahead and do a rotation too, since we were there.

We have a fluffy tuxedo girl we call spicy!

She has progressed since we got her, mostly angry noises and dirty looks now, instead of outright fighting, when we have to do maintenance stuff (nails, dingleberry on that floofy booty). Actually gets in bed with us now or sits in the middle of our couch while we watch a show (we have one of those couches where the middle folds down for a table and cup holders. It now sports a blanket for her in the table part).

Love you for accepting her and not dismissing her as a difficult cat!!

Yep. If it's in good condition, since it seems to be in a corner, I would take a couple of those fabric strap things to each wall to stabilize it.

They’ve even got a homemade tank and set up roadblocks in an attempt to stop the gunmen, who are said to be responsible for a rise in homicides locally.

Holy homemade tank batman!!

We had an old manual Ford Escort that we had drilled the ignition out of and put a switch in instead. No one figured it out without us telling them (friends family borrowing). Ours wasn't even really hidden, just unexpected... thieves rarely want to spend extra time and effort on unexpecteds.

Kindnessskills makes some great points. Bet they smell fresh as a daisy out camping!

We used to do outdoor music festivals and would camp for days so we could have a safe place to walk "home" to drunk and stoned. I learned some tricks from those party folks on staying fresh while young n sweaty and tent swapping. Just being able to get a lil fresh water with soap and/or wipes to the stinky triangle (pits to crotch) helps a ton.

You mentioned you already use a tub. How do you feel about taking a bath to get all soapy and sudsy and then just doing a shower rinse off? Even a quick soak ensures it soapy wayer gets in all the crevices.

Other folks mentioned wipes... might want to look into nursing home hospital stuff. Many things made for people who cannot shower or take a proper bath and still want to be clean (found lots of useful things for camping!) As said elsewhere, daily showering (especially hot water) is very rough on the skin.
