Well done actually.

Skip the camper. All you need are dependable car and a tent. The camper will just weigh you down, and suck mad gas.
Trust me, 18,000+ miles traveled cross country.
Depending on where you stay, like some of the nation parks, you might not be allowed to use a tent. Also, if you're not getting a decent night's sleeping, camping is a horrible game of endurance brinkmanship.
My parents bought an Ranger 12 Aliner to pull behind the V6 pickup. It only knocks about a gallon off the truck's MPG, and has an actual mattress, toilet, tiny kitchen with burner(s?), fridge, & sink, and small AC. It's pretty easy to pull & park.

Pea Bear wiped out on her bike Friday, got massive road rash on her elbow. Yesterday she got her bandages soaking wet, didn't tell anyone or change them right away.
Guess who got to take her to her doctor after school because it was infected.
Yup, THIS GUY!!

Proper care for wounds is important if you are going to ride.

Absolutely, we've been cleaning it and dressing it every day.
Her doctor compared it to a second degree burn. Ouch!
Cephalexin (500 mg, she's 94 pounds) is what was prescribed to help the infection.

Ugh. Hope the infection clears up soon.
Please tell Pea Bear that while the sloping lump at the base of a tree might appear to be an ideal aid in popping a wheelie on your banana-seated red Huffy cruiser bike, it is actually a trick. Smacking into the tree with your face really hurts, and the resulting black eye just provokes stupid comments from classmates.
Er, hypothetically.

She was biking with no hands, and when she put her hands back on she wiped out. Or as she puts it (So graphically) "...and the next thing I know I'm scrapping along the road" the italics are supposed to reflect how much she draws out the word "scrapping" *sideshow Bob shudder*

Well, United Health Care (UHC) has really jumped the shark this time.
Remember Impus Minor's trip to the ER for a broken arm that required surgery?
I just got the denial of coverage for some portion of it because I was supposed to leave the hospital with his arm still broken and find a cheaper place to get the surgery.
I didn't even fight it this time. I went straight to HR and said, "YOU made the contract with 'em, YOU deal with 'em!"
EDIT: And might I add how utterly ecstatic I am that NobodysWife is finally gainfully employed by a company that offers non-UHC health insurance, so we only have to suffer their constant denials for 7 more months, and then it's, "Goodbye, (hopefully) forever, UHC!"
EDIT 2: OK. I just got online and saw the explanation of benefits. The $31,131.48 bill for the surgery *IS* covered (*phew!*). It's the $1116 bill for the general anaesthesia that they're objecting to. Apparently he was supposed to suck it up for a local anaesthetic, so they want to charge us $384 for it. Pretty darned unfair when a surgeon you've never met makes a medical decision, and your insurance company refuses to pay for it...

Distract him with the "What Is Batman's Alignment?" as your opening gambit while you hastily assemble an acrostic retort that spells his name backwards, thus banishing him back to his own dimension.

I can't. There's only so many ways you can tell someone "you're an arrogant ass" before it becomes repetitious.
By the way, I should point out that when someone like me calls someone else an arrogant ass, it is like when a 400lb person tells you someone they need to lose weight. When that happens, you KNOW you've got some deep-seeded issues you need to work on.

If people laugh at you because NobodysHome and I both buy our bespoke humansuits from the same tailor, then don't take it personally. They've just rolled a 26-50 on the percentile dice against a confusion spell.

Technically that's my fault. I failed to carry out my temporal spatial drift calculations beyond the fourth decimal place, which is why that teleport spell mishap went so bad.
Also, as I was drunk on mimosas, I failed to consider that your highschool crush was a vertebrate and could not, in fact, squeeze her body through a half-dollar-sized hole.
And yeah, I should never have summoned Carrot Top. Seriously. That was a total !sshole move on my part.

Jiggy mostly ended the need for future discussion on page one, with N. Jolly, Avoron, hasteroth, and Zhangar also bring up some really solid points on the first page, as did our own TGTG did, as well.
There is a sincere and severe miscommunication going on, and part of it is the rhetoric being used in the thread - the casual arrogance of the language plus the presumption that the entirety of the burden to understand is on a listener. I've avoided the thread, because I don't want to be dragged into it, but I'll say this.
I'd skip to Chess Pwn's post on page two for an interesting post about the analysis of the importance of a "speaker" (typist) and "listener" (reader) and their respective jobs.
It was a pretty good reminder to me. I desperately want to explain myself well, and there are several times I've wondered, "Why aren't people listening to me?!" but, hopefully, I'll use that to remind myself that there might be a different way I can phrase things.
I do think that sometimes the listener refuses to listen, and thus places their own spin on something - not necessarily consciously - but, in so-doing, refusing to engage a speaker on their own terms; in that case, the speaker can't actually do much. Barring that, though, it is the speaker's job to re-communicate or accept the same results.

I've got to say. The original Metropolis film is a combination of awesome and really, really trippy. Exaggerated acting due to silent actors + big drama + serious story + archaic graphics special effects + extremely high-concept + extremely retro-future-sci fi... and yet it all "works" somehow.
