Well, I'm moving! here in about two weeks I'll be headed to Florida. On the up news, my daughter is excited, she says we're going to become beach bunnies. On the down news, I am surrounded by a thousand cardboard boxes that will have to be filled. You never know how much useless junk you have till you start sorting and packing....
 :question:
When I get down there, it may take me a week or two to get online so if i'm scarce, i'll be back.

Sounds fun!  My family has moved quite a few times too.  My favorite part is getting all the furniture arranged in the new place.  And then rearranging it, and rearranging it again  :teddyr:

Good luck with the move. I know what a pain it is, we've done it four times in the last 25 years

Great having another cult/B-movie fan here in Florida.  Welcome!

Here's some moving karma for ya.  We are moving, too.

Funny you mention your daughter becoming a beach bunny.  My daughter LOVES the beach...absolutely loves it.  I keep saying she's going to be our little surfer beach bum girl.

Our move takes us from a 3 hour drive from the beach to less than 1 hour.  Actually, some beaches may be even closer than the one we've scoped out.

This move for us is a big 'downsizing.'  We will probably get rid of more stuff than we actually move.  We are seeking to simplify our lifestyle.

Good luck, and do try to check-in here when you get settled.

Good luck on your moves, Sis & Ulthar. 

Hope you're not using Russian movers.  I lost $100s of dollars worth of movies that they "lost" in my last move.  It's a pain to do it yourself, but at least you get to keep all your stuff.

We just finished out latest, and what should be our last, big move (we've done them every 2-3 years).  There are still lots of boxes around the house, waiting for us to get things organized so that we can unpack some more boxes.  It was not so bad when it was just Katie and I, but with three children - trying to get moved is a huge hassle.  Three of us were working on getting the couch in the door, when suddenly Andy decides he wants to run under it - because, you know, that's a fun game.

Best of luck to the both of you.

Good luck to SisterGrace and Ulthar!

May the grass been greener for you on the other side, good luck!

When my family moved into our current house in 1999 the move wasn't so bad.  Most of it was clothes and some other things.  We got rid of the furniture and got new furniture for the house and had it completely remodeled with the exception of the basement(It was the house that my father grew up in).  The basement will probably be done in the future as we are soon going to have ceramic tile put in the kitchen.  Most likely the basement will be done in the future before I inherit the house after my parents pass away, or it will be done after I inherit the house.   

When my dad sold his house (the one I grew up in), I went to get some old stuff from the loft attic to take back to my flat. I lost all my Thundercats toys from when I was a kid.  :bluesad:

and lossing one from tennesee

There you go, a fellow bad movie fan just a few miles away from here and now you're leaving  ... well fine go then.


Seriously, good luck when the move it's aways a pain to move.

Yeah, I've been down here for about 2 1/2 years and I just can't seem to get used to it; you'd think I'd feel as if I was home by now instead of permanetly on a bad family vacation.

The move is really neccessary though. I'm going to be enrolling at F.I.T and I just can't turn it down. I won't really know anyone in Palm Bay. I had a good friend down there, but unfortunately he opted for the shotgun facelift a few years back.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes...I'm gonna need them...   :smile:

Good wishes with the movie, Sister.  :smile:

I'm kind of in a constant flux of moving, being that I don't have a home, just a place I stay.

I began this moving about 3 years ago, after living in the same place for 19 years.

When I was a kid, my father was regular army and moving every few years, or sooner, was a normal experience. I went through five different elementary schools in three states.

As kids, we didn't mind moving so much. We lived in a trailer and most of our belongings were just packed up and left in the trailer for moving (yes, you do generally want to keep things from moving around in the trailer while it is being hauled). Moving was kind of fun as it was a new place, new friends, new school; and I could always lie about having been the coolest guy at my old school and get away with it (well, since I got away with it so much, maybe I was :tongueout:).

When I was in 4th grade in another county (Laurel) in this state, John and I were classmates and bullied the rest of the 4th grade. I've mellowed so much since then; couldn't you just imagine what kind of bullying a$$hole ( :lookingup:) I could have become if I hadn't mellowed?

Moving every few years as a child can be fun, but gathering up years of memories can be a pain; especially when you have nowhere to put it all and have to make decisions as to what goes or stays. Even if after a few years, once you get settled in, moving is no fun; an adult back just doesn't have that spring in it anymore.


Good luck in the move. Hopefully it finds you some place that you will eventually call home, and want to call home.

Good luck with the moves, SisterGrace and Ulthar!

Sad to lose a fellow Tennessee b-movie fan, but the truth is I will probably be moving within the next year to Savannah, GA. I've lived for five years in a very rural area (closest neighbor is about half a mile away) and am ready to get back to having more folks around, but do not want to move back to Nashville - so naturally my solution is to move 500 miles away! Looking for a new job will be my biggest stress, since I've been at my present job for almost 16 years.

On the plus side - Going from a 7 hour trip to the beach to a 20 minute trip to the beach! Tybee Island rocks!

Indeed, Tybee Island is very cool.  It's my kind of place - awesome beach, very little crowd/traffic.

Also, you won't be far from Beaufort, SC.  If you are not familiar with Beaufort, it's worth a look.  Small, very friendly historical town.  There's a TON of both American Revolution and Civil War history in the Savannah/Beaufort area.  Just around the corner from Beaufort is Hunting Island State Park...also worth a look if you want a change from Tybee's beaches.

Good luck on your move!  Seems to be an epidemic...   :wink:

Good luck and all the best with the move, Raffine.  :smile:

Ever since I read Midnight In The Garden Of Good & Evil, I've always wanted to visit Savannah.  Go Dawgs! :smile:

All the best for your move too, Ulthar.  :smile:

The slick tourist brochures made a bit afraid it was going to be really polished and upscale but when I saw that giant plastic (and very photogenic!) great white shark I knew I was in my element. It reminded me of Key Largo when I lived there - back in the early 90's.
