Title: My Moving Adventures Continue
Post by: john2 on December 20, 2017, 07:45:49 PM
 :)  My house sold in less than a week on the market. I have until January 12 to be moved out.  So, looks like I will be with you here on this computer until within a day or two of that date.

They do have a computer at Riggs Manor for residents'  use, and the activities director will show me how to use it.  Hopefully, I will be able to find STM, and do email on theirs.

I am in the middle of moving, and should have furniture there tomorrow.

I look forward to building again when all this gets settled.

John2....
you shouldn't have any trouble getting onto this site, but you may not be able to save you password for the automatic logon. I know I couldn't when I no longer had internet connection for several years....between the work computer, and library computers, both in NM and IA....
the down side would be not being able to use a photo hosting site.......I never tried to use PhotoBucket on a computer that was not mine....so not sure about that.....

 :)  Thanks.   I will just do what I can, and let the loose ends drag.

We will see what happens.  Maybe I can watch y'all if nothing else.

John, take it easy while moving, don't want you to strain anything; we are getting too old for a lot of manual labor.  Hoping you have a very Merry CHRISTmas.

 :)  Thanks, Rick.  I am physically, mentally, and emotionally  exhausted.  I see a faint glow at the end of the tunnel.

BTW, I see I am not the only one awake in the middle of the night.  I am going back to bed.

Hang in there John, you'll be glad you made the move when it's all over.

Let us know when you get settled in.

Bob

John....I really feel for you.....it does take a toll on one......both physically and mentally.......

Of all the moves I've gone through, the one from Albuquerque to Iowa was the worst.....
just getting the U-Haul loaded really took its toll. just all the aches and pains in primarily my feet and legs. Think what made things worse, was I had a huge blister on the bottom of my left foot just behind the toe knuckles....

While in the military, back when I was younger and in better physical shape, I moved 14 times.  Now admitted some of them were just packing all my clothes and a few personal items into the trunk of the car and heading out, but others were full moves with Uhauls and/or moving vans.  When I was in the ministry I moved 4 more times, including the move to where I live now.  The next move I make I will not be aware of, because I will be in a pine box. 
John, hope you get settled quickly and can make this place your home.

Having just gone through this myself, I understand completely.

A few weeks from now you'll feel like a pig in slop, well you know. Right at home!

 :)  Well, many thanks to all.  26 years since I moved.  Not easy trying to get a lifetime of stuff into 1/3 of the space I am used to.  My friend helped me 7 hours Thursday.  My sofa is (  was )  so big, we damaged the  house getting it out, moved it 48 miles, and then it would not fit in the elevator at the retirement home.

But .............  I have most of the model stuff there.  I guess that is what is really important.

I am chugging along.    At the point now where what I need at the moment is at the other place.

So, all you modelers, leave the light on for me.

Have not really been into Christmas this year, but I know that it  is tomorrow.  So Merry Christmas to all.   But, I do remember what is most important about Christmas.
