    Moving Day

    14th move of our married life. Lord willing, the next time I move will be to the cemetery.

    I'm getting too old for this shiite. Pretty stove up this morning from all the gathering, packing, etc. yesterday.

    And for the record, we didn't ask any friends to help us. Hate being asked to help my friends move, therefore won't ask friends to help me.

    I haven't been keeping up. Are you guys moving to the hills near Sand Springs?

    That's almost in God's country.

    Moving is the worst. Hired movers for the move from our townhome to our new house, and it was the best money I ever spent. I was a actually able to un pack stuff faster due to not being sore from moving.
    Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.

    Naw, we ended up in Bixby.

    Approximately 111th and Mingo. We found a new spec house almost finished on which we were able to direct the builder to make certain changes as a condition of purchase that made it into exactly what we wanted --and we're comfortable and familiar with the area.

    I'll say this too, it's a fantastic time to be a house buyer. Cheap money, sellers are bending over backwards - or bending over period, and that $8K in Obama money in the form of the tax credit for folks who haven't bought a house in the preceding three years was a nice incentive too.

    I disagree. It's downright UN-American.

    I want less for my dollar, and by God I'm getting it.
    I taste terrific.

    Re: Moving Day

    If you girls get all sore from packing **** up at the house might I suggest you start hitting the gym every so often?

    Moving is the absolute suck. When momma and I got together we had to move 2 complete households into one. One in Iowa, and one in Norman to another place in Norman. It blew, but at least I wasn't sore.

    Re: Moving Day

    I've had to move so many friends and relatives in the last 15 years.

    The worst was our cousin in Tulsa. They only moved a few blocks but he was a former body builder so his gym was a nightmare, along with the old timey freezer style Coke machine that went upstairs.

    The worse was the full-size pool table we had to move from Iowa to Norman. That ****ing slate top had to weigh a ton.

    You must have liked it. Otherwise I would have sold the thing before moving.

    Re: Moving Day

    The last time we moved, we went from a third floor apartment to a two-story house, we hired movers. Best $250 we ever spent. Seriously. Good luck on your move Homey! It is the suck!

    that's what i thought too

    i also hate moving... it's been almost 10 years now

    packing sucks the most, actually moving stuff isn't that bad.

    the worst thing was trying to get a friend's big screen TV into his upstairs bedroom back in the early aughts. now the new HDTVs are much easier t deal with

    stupid narrow hallway and tight angles meant it got up the stairs but not into the room. back down it went

    Re: Moving Day

    I moved 3 times in a 5 year period earlier this decade, the only good part was we got rid of a bunch of crap every time we moved. Unfortunately we are collecting new crap now.
    God, how I hate the 21st century.
