Poll: What do you dislike the most about relocating...

[Hugin]

Poll question: Poll: What do you dislike the most about relocating...

Hey, I wonder sometimes too... ok?

[Shell Beau]

1. I hate changing the mail. I hate changing all of the utilities b/c they

always require a deposit and if you are just transferring over, then there is a transfer fee.

[Hugin]

2. Oh... Geeze. I forgot about all of that!

THE FEES! Ca-rumba!

I thought about saying "Finding a new place" and
"Getting out of the old place" because many people
rent or lease.

What do you think?

[Shell Beau]

3. I hate packing up with a passion. But unpacking is

a little better b/c you can find new things to do with your stuff. Looking for a new place can be exciting.

[Hugin]

4. I agree!

It's fun to arrange your stuff in a new spot.

One of the reasons I dislike packing is because it also
means getting rid of some of my great "I'll use that...
Someday." junk.

5. I moved back in January and I probably

threw as much stuff away as I packed up.

[Hugin]

8. Do you miss any of it?

I can think of a few things I've gotten rid of
that I should have kept over the years.

Mostly sentimental items.

[Shell Beau]

9. No. None of it. I didn't even know I had half of it.

But it made the moving load much lighter!!

6. other: trying to find a good neighborhood bar

and then meeting the bartenders, and the bouncers, it takes months of big tips, what a pain.

[Hugin]

7. Good point.

I guess establishing new social circles is a problem.

10. I will never move again if I can help it.

We moved into this house three years ago after we got married. Two thirty-something adults have a lot of stuff accumulated between them and two kids.

11. Packing!

When Greekspeak and I moved from Springfield to here in Tallahassee, we had a whole group of people come over on moving day to help pack and load the truck! I don't know what we would have done without everyone's help! We didn't throw anything away, we gave it to the folks helping us...that is...if they wanted it. Packing SUCKS!:nuke:

12. Selling a house or condo

I am in the process of moving and the part of the state where I have been living has so much new construction that anything "used" is not selling. My next door neighbor works for a real estate attorney and according to her 8 out of every 10 closings handled by her law firm are for new construction. It looks like I will be making two mortgage payments for a while. x(

13. Leaving loved ones.

I also hate packing. When we moved halfway across the country, we had movers to do most of the packing, but I still had to do a fair amount of packing myself (things I didn't want the movers handling).

[Blue-Jay]

14. Packing. Nothing is worse.

I'm not a big fan of unpacking, either. bleh.

15. Other. I always lose something

Usually something irreplacable. I've moved so many times, I've lost count (I started listing them one day and gave up when I got to 30) - just about every time, something has vanished. I can be so careful but things get lost. I had a beautiful photo of my mom when she was a baby - she was sitting in a field and it was a one of a kind studio shot. She was maybe 18 months old so it would be in the 1920's - lost it somehow. That one breaks my heart - along with my oldest child's original birth certificate - the one with the little footprints on it. :cry:
