Could he be a fan of Brownstone, perhaps?
I'm just assembling and packing boxes, which is a boring duty. I couldn't hack it for more than a thread page.
Deet, we're moving on Wednesday. it may seem like it's going on forever, but remember, you knew since we put the house on the market, so it seems longer.
deet, i know where you referred to. i'm just saying i don't think i've ever been there. other side of the state and all.
I've been there. You didn't miss much.
And Linnie, perhaps I'm coming from a different point of reference but anytime I've moved it has been a relatively quick affair. We closed, we packed, we moved. Boom. Done. 4 days tops. A very trying, exhausting 4 days.
i know. that's why i never bothered to go. besides, we have the coal mines and stuff. and the mine fire.
Moving sucks. I hate it.
Amen to that. We still have boxes in a few of the rooms and we've been in the new place almost a month now.
Moving is indeed awful...although the last time I did it, I had three extremely tall, very very strong Ukranians doing all the actual work.
However, i actually hate the packing and unpacking MORE than the physical move...I just wish I could go away for two days, come back, and find everything magically where it belongs and neat and tidy.

Deet, it's a pain here. It never takes 4 days for anyone to move. After selling the house (which took 3 weeks to close a deal), the solicitors have to exchange contracts, and solicitors are notoriously slow, it took another 2 weeks for them just to sign those (and that was quick!). Usually people here then don't move until 2 weeks after the contracts are exchanged, but our buyer had insisted on today. We managed to push her back to Wednesday.
Get a wife, Jaily.
That's essentially what happened with my husband. He went to work and BOOM the magic unpacking elves (me) straightened everything out.
I don't need a wife, I have an anal retentive OCD Indian husband.
He did it all while I went to Boston and got hammered.
How supportive of you Jaily.
See! Same thing!
And you're right about the anal retentive OCD thing - I had to do the unpacking, because when he was helping me he kept putting everything in the WRONG PLACE! Who puts the mugs we use EVERY MORNING ON THE TOP SHELF OF THE CABINET! PROBABLY THE SAME MAN WHO WAS RAISED BY THE WOMAN WHO PUT THE CEREAL BOXES NEXT TO THE CANNED TOMATOES!!
I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

Chico, I never you were Indian, OCD or Anal retentive.
Ah yes. The wife. Or in my case, my father's wife. My mother. Who was the anal retentive uber controlling life force that taught me how to close the deal, pack it all up and move as quickly as possible.
Morning, all! Good to see you again Cap-... Fic-... ABS-... I mean, Evan Almighty.
All this anal talk is making me hungry.
Then go out and eat.
Eat out? That's something you'll never catch me do. I mean... *shudders to think*
Then stay home and cook.
You're being too literal, D2. It takes the fun out.

Good morning, all! It's sunny out!
Oof, moving is hell. I had to move across a couple of states right before sixth grade, and with 5 kids, it's no small feat!
Speaking of eating out did anyone see Shortbus?
3 words: Star Spangled Banner.
Classic!

DGG, you have 5 kids? At 17?
You're in trouble, missy!

Haha, not quite! I'm the oldest of 6.
I'm not really sure what that means for you and Liam...

What me and Liam do behind closed doors is none of your business!
In fact, I've had enough of you, back to your room!
In other news, my school report just arrived. My book list for next year is a mile and a half long.
Oh, Linnie, Linnie, Linnie...
SM2, hows this: Then stay home and heat something up.
