Unpopular opinion Saturday

in One & Done: Only child
Oh yes, I just did that, posting out of schedule.... So my UO is I hate RVs. Mainly because I have horride childhood memries of travelling with my OCD mother (no joke she has OCD). So whe would clean the whole time and freak about the twigs and dirt trAcked inside. But also becuase it seems like alot of work to go to a campsite and do what you can do at home, especially if it is only an hour away. Plus it is Canada and it is wet and cold, not to mention flies. This has come up for me today because all my friends are buying them and keep trying to convince us to join in. I am trying to be all polite and say how nice it is but am all hells to the no inside.

    Yes! Totally agree, we tent it when we camp. That actually makes it an adventure!

    I am not a camper.... AT ALL. Nope nope nope. I like my bed, and my shower, and not smelling like a combination of bug spray and sun screen with a dusting of dirt and campfire smell. Bleh.

    I am a big outdoor sissy. :(

    I agree rv's are stupid. I also hate camping with a deep dark passion. Sleeping on the ground and not showering while smelling like a campfire. No thank you.

    It just seems like so much work.

    This is almost word for word the conversation DH and I had. Lol. We had a small campfire Friday night then went in to our nice cozy house, had a shower and got into our comfy bed.

    I loathe all kinds of camping. And we did it all the time when I was a kid. Not an outdoors person in any form, really. Which is why I didn't stay in my home state. Alaska is basically nothing else.

    I also loathe camping. LOATHE.
    There is nothing appealing to me about sleeping outside with bugs and having no AC or bathroom.

    I'm not a fan of sleeping on the ground in a tent where there are bugs and usually a million things that I'm allergic to so that I end up getting a sinus infection. Lol. I do love being outside, going hiking, etc. Just not a fan of sleeping outdoors.

    I like camping since you get time away from cellphones and computers. I love when we have camp fires in our backyard and make smores.

    I'm also in the "love camping" boat.  well, car camping is OK, but I really like backpacking, because you can go to places you cannot get to any other way.  and that's awesome.  one of the few ways to ever see the milky way, these days.

    My other (seemingly, based on the internet) unpopular opinion:
    If you read a story of someone going missing or dying, don't leave comments about "their own stupid decisions being the reason".  Especially when you don't know jack squat about what they were doing.  Someone I "know" (online, in a couple of venues) died hiking this weekend, doing something she loves which I also love to do, and I made the mistake of reading the comments online when the story hit AP.  So much lack of compassion!

    I'm sorry. I try to avoid the comment sections of new stories. They are breeding grounds for insensitive stupidity.

    I know.  I should have.  I was clearly being dumb.
