Author Topic: What to bring when moving. Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-26-2003 08:02 PM                     OK, for those of you that don't know...in about 3 weeks time (3 weeks and 3 days to be exact) I am moving from the home I've known all my life in Gloucester Massachusetts half way across the country to Wisconsin. Life in Wisconsin is very different then what I am used to although from my visits I seem to like it very much. I have no doubts about what I am doing and I feel that it is the right move at this point in my life, not only am I moving to a great area but I am moving to be with a great guy. My question...Should I bring anything special to help me remember who I am? I've lived in the same area 22 years of my life (yes, I'm 22), the same house for 21. Is there anything particular that people have brought with them during big moves to help them remember where they came from? There are the obvious things, being from a fishing town I am going to try to bring a small bottle of Gloucester sand and I'm probably going to get a boston night photo to frame, but is there anything else?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-26-2003 08:24 PM                        Bring something, because you can never, ever go back. Once you leave it will no longer be your town, and it will forsake you just as you have forsaken it. Things will change rapidly and your memories will be shattered. Nothing will ever be the same... ever. It will be much, much worse. Have a fun time moving!  |  IP: Logged Rachel Craven Madam Moderator Posts: 2190 From: Pensacola, FL Registered: Dec 2000 posted 05-26-2003 08:28 PM                     Well, thanks alot!  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-26-2003 08:30 PM                        The wig, maybe...? p.  |  IP: Logged Gerard S.

Even though you can order most anything from a local nursery or catalog, it may be sentimentally consoling to have a lilac from back home (lilacs make lateral shoots that can be dug, with their roots, wrapped, and planted in your new garden.) Or in season, cutting and drying some zinneas or other annuals in a brown paper bag, and planting their seeds near your front steps, can produce lots of happy colors. Have you a favorite quilt from your Grandma? And don't forget your Yankee bird feeder. Be sure to send your new address for your favorite New England pictorial magazine subscription. Here's Wishing you lots of happiness in your new home! ==Gerard  |  IP: Logged Paul Linfesty Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1383 From: Bakersfield, CA, USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 05-26-2003 10:30 PM                     It's also important to remember to take yourself. Sometimes we take ourselves for granted and forget the obvious. It is not the best situation when we move all of our stuff to a new location and we haven't made it and can't quite figure out what is wrong with this picture. Or is this just a recurring bad dream of mine?  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-26-2003 10:35 PM                  Take EVERYTHING you can possible take! Ya CAN'T go back and get the crap you threw away! BUT DO NOT take any plants or cuttings... alot of states prohibit bringing those things cuz of introducing problems for "native" plants. Good Luck! And remember: California CHEESE comes from happy cows....not that crap from bored and ugly and sad cows from Wisconsin! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-26-2003 11:53 PM                     Don't forget to take your house. That is far more important to take with you as a reminder of who you are and where you came from than a plant. Also, be sure and take your driver's license. That way in case you forget your name you will have it written down for you to reference.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-27-2003 02:15 AM                       I've always liked to travel light - after all, it's just stuff and most of it's replaceable. I'd much rather be unencumbered in my new surroundings. It's a lot less stressful, too. Hope you're getting along okay, this is the first I've heard.  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 05-27-2003 03:28 AM                        You can take me with you I am supopsed to be your best friend for christs sake!!!  |  IP: Logged John Scott Master Film Handler Posts: 252 From: Oakdale, MN, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-27-2003 06:54 AM                     Where in Wisconsin are you moving to?  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-27-2003 09:06 AM                        I started reading this post and I think I am in SHOCK.I must be really dense and maybe I should stay that way. I went back and re-read the "Hey Don, I kow how Old you are."thread. That kind-a-sort-a answered my questions. Nothing like dropping an atom bomb on my head. This will take me some time to absorb before I can comment.  |  IP: Logged Don Bruechert Mmmmmmmmm, bird! Posts: 340 From: Manitowoc, WI, USA Registered: Jan 2003 posted 05-27-2003 10:43 AM                        I think you should bring along all of your happy memories - leave the sad and the bad ones behind, as they will leave room for some new happy memories from your new world without losing any of the good ones from the old world. You are going to be with a wonderful guy, who truly loves you for who you are, and is going to go out of his way to make sure you are safe and happy. Of course pictures of you with various family, friends, pets and favorite places or objects will be essential to bring along as well!  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 05-30-2003 12:57 AM                  Bring clean underwear. You never know when you might have to strip for law-enforcement and have a body cavity search. I speak from persoanl experience. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-30-2003 01:33 AM                     Rachel, Wisconson is a great place and the fall colors are magnificent. Be sure to make it up to Door County at some point. What town are you moving to? I used to travel all over Wisconsin doing work on theatres. Mark  |  IP: Logged
