Just Hello - a post by Daniel Fernandez
I miss this place. I popped in to make some goofy comments last week - but that's about all. Here's what's going on and why I've gone missing for a bit.
1. I moved over the weekend of the second and third of September. I've been using most of my spare time unpacking - and I think I'm 75% done. Moving is a pain!
2. I have been using my remaining spare time to walk. I'm training for the Avon Breast Cancer Walk. Next weekend I walk 39 miles in two day walk to raise money for breast cancer research and to aid in the treatment of breast cancer. I raised more than US$1,800 in a very large part - thanks to the C&F community.
3. I've had a blizzard of oddities at work that have kept me busy. I manage technical crap for Mitsubishi Electric America's corporate offices all over the Western Hemisphere, so when things go wrong I'm on-call 24x7.
So kisses, hugs, and manly handshakes to you all. I'll have more time after this next weekend to foolishly participate (as I usually do) in the conversations again.
Miss you all,

Good luck on the box thing, Daniel!SteveShaw wrote:Me too. And our last move was 20 years ago.Innocent Bystander wrote:Hello Yourself!

We have boxes we haven't opened in years, too, but I think Steve here is the champ!
Yesterday I was thinking: From now on, every trash pick-up day, I'm just going to set one of those boxes out ~ that'll get rid of them!
I have no idea what is in the boxes any more, so how would I miss anything?!?!?!?

I don't have any boxes unopened since my last move, but years ago I decided that, since I was single and in total control of my living space, I would live out of cardboard boxes. I have them lined up along the walls of my bedroom and living room. I much prefer boxes with pictures of fruit and vegetables on the sides. In my bedroom I have a box for underwear, a box for socks, a box for sheets, a hat box, etc.; you get the idea. I joked with my co-workers that, if I ever wanted to move, I was already packed. That always got a few laughs and looks of disbelief. Now, it is the real thing, and I am ready to move in a few days. The good news, bad news is this: I am already mostly packed, but I am having a hard time finding just the right kind of boxes for the rest of my move. You know, I am talking about the kind of boxes that I would be comfortable living with.

Hello!
I sympathize on the box thing. The house we found in Conway is really too small--we can't open all our boxes.
We joke about the "herds of roaming boxen."
Good to see you back on the boards!

I know that feeling...we made a corral out of a spare bedroom for our herd.

I remember reading somewhere that only the death of your spouse is rated more stressful than moving house.
I've lived here for nearly sixteen years now and cannot even imagine the amount of hassle and stress a move would involve.
Keep the always witty and charming posts coming once you get sorted out.

Thanks for the kind salutations.
I'm several boxes along, and have a few more things hung on the wall.
I dreamed up a way to deal with all my whistles. I like the idea, but don't know if it may be damaging to the whistles in the long term. I think I'll post a pic and get some feedback from the peanut gallery this evening.
I also have this idea kicking around in my head of a whistle roll that doubles as a wall hanging whistle "soft rack." I like the idea, and it sounds good too (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean?). I'll probably run it up Annie's flagpole to see what she thinks.
I've also discovered that there are no fancy "walking shoes" that work as well as my Asolo Power Matic 400 Gore-Tex Hiking Boots (with proper socks). The three fancy running or walking shoes I tried all gave me blisters on walks over 6 miles. But the Asolo boots keep on ticking 'til I'm licked - with nary a blister or hot-spot. I just hate to wear the boot soles out on a city walk.
Peace y'all,
