blah, I'm exhausted, and I'm only half unpacked. Even with taking 2 days off work, i still cant get done :grr:

how is everyone? I feel so cut off without internet :cry: luckily i can sneak some DU time at work :evilgrin::hi:

[fishwax]

1. I moved two weeks ago

I feel your pain :hi: ... we're still not entirely unpacked, but once we got the place livable we slowed down considerably :)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

5. I wish my apt. was at livable...

Our living room is still over half filled with boxes and crap...and we have so many little hardware things and stuff to deal with, its exhaustive. i dont think there is enough time in the day!

:hug:

2. I don't think I'm moving anything but my essentials next time

I have a 3 person couch - great condition - with recliners on both sides.

Leaving it. Too goddamn heavy.

King size bed, great mattress.

Leaving it. Too goddamn big.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

7. damn! if you wanna move easy

leaving the big stuff will do it. But whats gonna happen when you get to your new place? how you gonna sleep that first night?

[DS1]

12. I'll use the floor

:shrug:

Unless I suddenly come about a windfall of cash, I'm not likely to be moving into any big places again. I'm damn lucky to be where I am, most places around here, if I tried to move my bed in, would allow me to open the door and jump -on- my bedroom. It's a relic of much richer times. Oh well.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

15. actually, thats a similar situation to me

my bed takes up most of my room....although at the apt. i just moved from I had a gigantic space, like 10 x 18, which was amazing. the new bedroom is like my bed and little bit of space around it...

[Lilyhoney]

11. I am with you on that.

I have moved all over the country and hauled along stuff that I only got rid of later. I will never do that again.:spank:

[In_The_Wind]

3. it'll be wonderful when it's all finished

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

8. I hope so Joan!

:hug:

how are ya?

[In_The_Wind]

16. really great

:hug: and sorta busy

19. wow

thats a bit intense. glad to see she is OK though, and you didn't really corrupt her hehe ;)

[In_The_Wind]

23. I'm exhausted.

she promised to have her dad stop & buy a new phone to replace her old one ... she'll be calling me from there when she gets in



I would never corrupt anyone, just encourage them to get out & have fun ... like ... I talked her into coming to D.C. to meet-up with some of the awesome members of DU in September.

[HeeBGBz]

4. Tell me about it

I just moved from Missouri to Mississippi and now I may have to turn right around and move back.

Sigh.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

9. WHAT?

how did that happen? that blows. at least my move was only 60 or so blocks and a few avenues...

[HeeBGBz]

17. Long story

Daughter who I moved in with down here has decided she may want to get married to someone back home.

Plus landlord (ex-husband's current wife) doubled the rent because I am staying with my daughter. It gets nastier, but I'll spare the details.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

20. doubled the rent?

is that even legal? That is really shitty. Im sorry you have to pick up and move back. :hug:

[HeeBGBz]

26. Yeah, it's legal- I checked

Went from $300 to $500, plus extra utilities. It would not be legal if there was a lease. There is no lease.


Actually, we could cover the rent. It's just the hateful principal of the thing. Plus the bitch is causing other trouble, too.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

27. Blah

Its still really shitty, and I wouldn't have paid it either. hope your move goes well though.

[HeeBGBz]

30. Thanks. I hope you get finished with your's okay

At least, you are getting it unpacked.

[Rising Phoenix]

6. I feel for you

moving totally sucks, I've done it a billion times. Good luck in your new home, hope you get your connection back soon.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

10. Thanks Mrs. Sniffa!

I was totally jonesing for my DU fix yesterday

[jonnyblitz]

13. at least it wasn't as hot and humid as it has been...

probably hot enough though since heat and humidity always seem much more intense to me in NYC than out here in the boonies. :hug: :hi:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

14. Actually, we lucked out

the humidity was not bad at all. It made it not as bad as it could have been, though I was wtill soaking wet with sweat for most of saturday, moving out of the fourth floor of a walkup will do that too you.

and thanks for being my 2000 post! :hug: :party: :toast: :pals:

[jonnyblitz]

22. that's good, I am glad for you guys!

as for your 2000th post..YAY...:loveya:

[no name no slogan]

18. I hear you loud and clear

I'm moving stuff from my house of eight years to an apartment 1/3 the size. divorce is so much sad and tragic as it is a royal pain in the ass. i'll be glad when it's finally over.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

21. damn.

thats a shitty reason to have to move. :hug:

At least it gives you an opportunity to go though everything and get rid of all the crap you've accumulated over the past 8 years....

[no name no slogan]

24. omfg YES

my ex- moved "her stuff" out a couple weeks ago, so anything that's left is apparently "mine". I'm going to chuck most of it (or give it away), because I want to simplify my life right now.

hope your move is going good. best of luck :hug:

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

28. hope your move goes well too

many :hug:s

simplifying sounds real good right now

[stopbush]

25. I'm halfway thru my move from a 4-bdrm house to a 3-bdrm.

At least we'll own the 3-bdrm. We downsized as much as possible - trashed a ton of junk we've been lugging around the country for 10 years. That felt good.

At least you don't unpack to a deadline! Packing is much worse.

Our stuff arrives Thursday...I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

On edit: this is our third move in 3 years:

2003 - NJ to Las Vegas
2004 - Moved to a bigger house in LV
2005 - Moving from LV to CA

Yeah, moving sucks.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

29. wow, thats a lot of moving!

good luck with your unpacking this weekend. I bet it will be nice to move into a place it is really your own! congrats on that! :party:

[skygazer]

31. I hate moving - you have my sympathy

I recently tallied up how many times I've moved in my adult life (I moved several times with my family when I was a kid, too but I didn't count those) - came to over 30! :nuke:

I've been at my present place for over four years and I still have stuff in boxes. Every time I move, I lose something important and irreplacable, too.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

32. oy! thats a lot of moving

I always lose stuff too :cry: it makes me sad when I do. I jsut dont get what vortex they get sucked into?
