I flippin' hate moving!

[Matt_B]

I've moved a half dozen times in my life and the more I do it, the less I like it. Where I move to is irrelevant. It's the process itself that I dislike. It doesn't help that the older I get the more stuff I have to move.

This time around we only moved about 5 miles and since I bought the house from a co-worker, we were able to start moving in a few weeks before we closed.

This is the first time we've used movers but we moved the majority of our possessions ourselves. All that's left for the movers is a queen sized mattress, box spring, a pair of medium sized computer desks, a filing cabinet, a hope chest, a 53" projection TV. a dresser and a chest. Their services should only cost about $300 which I am more than happy to pay.

I also hate being in a transient state but that's been very short for this move so all in all, it's gone pretty well.

At least we have a better house so there's no doubt it was worth. I'm just bitchin' because I'm old and sore.

A steak and a beej will make it all better. Get on it!

I'm with you, I hate it too. All the shit that has to be taken care of...

In the Army I moved every 2 years. Before that I moved from place to place from about 1987 until 1994 every10 months to 18 months. I HATE moving now. I'd rather just leave everything in the old place and buy new shit when I get there.

I've moved twice in the past 4 months across three states. ARRRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!! I'll be sorting out mail/address/insurance/DMV/tax/email issues for months to come.

Can you imagine what moving is like for that guy that has 3 rooms full of Charvels?? Incedentally, Ill be moving to the other side of town here in a couple weeks and not looking forward to the process either.

I hate moving too. I moved a from about 1995 until now about 17 times.


Often, it sucked. The only thing that was a positive about it was that I wasn't moving an entire household about 6 of those moves. It isn't a thing that is enjoyable that's for sure.

I don't like moving either. Taxes my time, money and strength. Something always gets lost, damaged or stolen. I don't trust removal companies. I move everything myself, whenever I do need to move. I've moved 3 times without help in just 2 years. Prior to leaving the forces, the family would get resettled every 3-4 years.

I had a PU for 5 years and everytime someone needed to move you know who they called. I have only moved myself 5 times however I have probably moved my friends twice as many times. To you point though I hate it as well.

Moving stinks, but it does help to sort out the stuff you haven't used in a while. Yard sale time.

I'd rather just leave everything in the old place and buy new shit when I get there.

There's the solution!
