Moving: Pros & Cons of My Dream Place

[Borek]

It's been almost three months and finally, today, I can see the floor and the couches. Now we need to hang curtains and pictures. And get a coffee table.

Cozy

But if I understand correctly what I see it raises a question. Just carpet? I prefer to have something difficult to burn facing fireplace. Metal plate, or some ceramic tiles.

Wow, Marzena said she likes your fireplace more than our own.

None of the furniture in the house is mine, mine is either gone or in storage. The lamp was given to Evo child and I love it. Evo Child goes for making comfort nests. She is converting my bedroom into a nest. My bed is piled so high with pillows and stuffed comforters, the fruit bat needs a step stool to get on the bed now.

The bed she gave me is like a cloud. When I go to bed at night, I sink in. Reminds me of being at my grandmother's place up in the Alps. She'd come at night and tell me and my sister to get into whichever position we wanted for the rest of the night and then dump a 500 pound down comforter on us. You could not move once that thing was on you, even though my sister and I would try together to raise it, so we could turn over under it, and I was 18 at the time. Her place was a stone hunting lodge that belonged to one of the early Louis kings of France and there was no heat up where our room was.

Cool. Do you have pictures?

I might be moving again, back into my old place. Evo Child moved out and has an incredible new house, so I am all alone now. I don't even go into the other side of the apartment, the master bedroom, which was hers, faces the street and has too many windows, I use it as a sunroom for plants, her room does have the incredible master bath though, which is wasted since I use my bathroom attached to my bedroom. I still think of it as her bathroom.

I've gotten to love the layout for the living and dining room in this place, and they are much bigger than my old place and make more sense. The living room at my old place only had one solid wall which is the only place a couch can go, the opposite wall is a fireplace, and the wall on the side has a door to the backyard and a window, so there is no place to put a tv or stereo, it's crazy, which is why I never used the living room.

On the plus side, my kitchen at the old place is bigger and has more cabinets and the pation is larger and has the lovely stone arch around it.

If I get the price I want on my old unit, I'll save $300+ a month, which is the main reason I am thinking about moving, but I have to sign the papers in the next few days, and I only found out that my old unit is available yesterday. STRESS!

Of course both units are next door to each other, so it's still here on the RAVINE OF DOOM.

What do I do?

 

[turbo]

Hard to tell. Every single time I have moved, I have lost some items. One time I lost a hand-forged carbon steel Thiers Issard 6" chef's knife. That was a VERY sad day! Moving next door might not be so bad, but when my wife and I were first married, we moved from one rat-hole apartment to another so I could chase construction jobs.

Oh, and my BP meds were just changed, (referring to the BP posts earlier in this thread) seems the one I was on was found to cause cancer.

Please tell your doctor if you are planning surgery. Side effects may include death.

According to a recent drug commercial death is now referred to as "adverse fatal events". I guess that is opposed to "non-adverse fatal events".

I can come up with a few people whose "fatal effects" I would not consider adverse.

I hate watching the drug commercials that run during the national news. If drugs with perhaps minimal benefits pose a risk of liver-damage or kidney failure, why are they even on the market? I've signed up with a new doctor and will see him next month for the first time. He's an osteopath, and my wife loves his approach. My last doctor was a quick-draw with the prescription pads, and I had to resist his tendency to prescribe drugs. Not a bad guy, but too reliant on drugs, IMO.

 

[Borek]

Evo Child moved out

Actually I was thinking about whether the new place is not too large for you now ever since Evo Child moved out (if I recall correctly, that happened quite some time ago?).

there is no place to put a tv

You have a TV set? I recall your TV was broken, I don't remember reading about a new one

I'll save $300+ a month

I would love to be able to do so

I went to an osteopath when I was younger, it was my mother's choice, couldn't ever leave without the *necessary* bone alignment cracks.

What do I do?

Didn't your old place have a better place for outdoor veggies?

My favorite doctor of all was an osteopath. I was quite accident-prone (OK, I engaged in really risky activities!) and, and whenever a family member or neighbor hauled me down there, he'd say "Alright, up on the table." Followed closely by "What did you do this time?" His older son was a trumpet-player like me, and his younger son was a nut about nature, as was I, so I spent a lot of time at their house. Years later, the younger son told me that his father held me up as an example of how NOT to behave!

hmmm...

Sometimes, when people ask me how I'm doing, I respond with; "I'm not dead. How are you?"

Perhaps in the future, I'll use that line; "I've had no recent adverse fatal events, so I think I'm doing great! And how badly is your day going?"

Yes, she moved out, then a few months later moved back in, then in the middle of the move back in, decided to get her own place again.

You have a TV set? I recall your TV was broken, I don't remember reading about a new one

Evo Child got one from someone that had an extra one, not new but free.

Didn't your old place have a better place for outdoor veggies?

Yes, the bigger patio.

 

[rootX]

I am glad you moving back to your dream place!

 

[Evo]

I am glad you moving back to your dream place!

Thanks rootX, except the new place has grown on me. But my old place is cheaper and has a bigger kitchen, so I love it too.

I want both. And now the new place had sentimental value because Evo Child has a bedroom here.

 

[micromass]

I'm sure your old place will grow back on you. Soon you won't even remember that you left it!

The fruit bat and I just got back from my old place, the door was open. Yeah, I really do love my old place. And I'll have a fancy new digital refrigerator!

Ok, I can do this.

Get a surge-protector for that new refrigerator! My wife bought a mini-fridge (U-Line) for a couple of hundred bucks earlier this year, and a power surge cleaned out the controller. It will keep things cold to 45 degrees or so, but it is worthless otherwise. Really pretty brushed-stainless mini-fridge that isn't worth crap.

Well, it might be worth crap, but that's about it's top value.

You have our moral support

If not for the distance we could also drive to you to help. You know, we would sit around and wait for beer, pretending to be moving heavy pieces of furniture.

Someone has to be in charge of the move, making sure things go where they belong. It's a hard job to sit there drinking beer and make sure it all gets done right. Thank you for your support!

 

[rhody]

Here you go Evo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjuuI9Dwmcg", from a young lady, who appears to video document just about everything she does...
From your posts, sounds like you have yo-yo'ed back and forth, hopefully this works for you, better for your "green thumb" too if I understood comments in this thread correctly.
Good Luck.

Rhody...

I have officially been approved for the move. It's set for the end of Sept.

Don't cry You'll get used to your new place in no time! It's a new start!

Oh come on, now, that you decided, it is not time to cry - just think about things that will get better.

It is often said that Poles are pessimistic, while Americans always think positive. Don't ruin that in my eyes!

Thanks. <sniff> sticks 10,000 GOOBF cards into micro's computer.

You could get banned either way, MM. Evo is an Equal-Opportunity banner with poor aim.

So true. Micro does hold the record for number of times to be accidently banned.
