Why, thank you, Fallen! Its just that here at the old folk's home, there's really not much else to do, and I get to hog the computer because the rest of my colleagues are too senile to even know how to turn it on. It passes the time.

*Slap! getta away from me nurse! Can't you see I'm busy? No, WE don't want to drink OUR ensure now. WE will let you know when we're ready!"*

Now, what was I saying? Oh yeah. :lol:

So far, the AG gang have mostly been an annoying blip on the board. I'm sure we'll all either settle in and play dirty together - CELLAR STYLE - or they'll find better sport, elsewhere.

Meanwhile, I need to start thinking about packing. I'm gonna make a 400 mile move across two mountain ranges in only 30 days all by my little frail self. I'm really not going to have much time for board wars. ;)

So "CELLAR STYLE" consists of stating the obvious over & over & over?

Hey Mari-check the CO levels in your trailer-I think they are getting a little high again.

"They" have been playing quite nicely now for awhile. Frankly, now YOU are getting on my nerves...

*turning away, shaking head*

I think there are more meaningful descriptors of a person than "which website you came from" . . . that's a little like saying all people of < insert ethnicity > possess < insert posivive/negative quality > . . . the only thing members of AudioGalaxy ever had in common was a love of free music . . .

Point taken, Lab Rat. The INDIVIDUALS do seem to be settling down. I am cranky about pulling the details of this move off, I guess. Anyhow, like I said, I need to be packing, not posting.

How do you pack for something like that?

Well, first you go to the supermarket and get all the card board boxes your car can hold...;)

I like the boxes that office paper comes in, for smaller, breakable items, and for books. I have a collection of those small paper boxes, which have a lid. Then there are the boxes that 14 X 17 laser film comes in, those have reinforced handles built in. After that, I go to those plastic $3 storage tubs. I have about 30 of those.

Highly recommended. Everyone that helped us move agrees.

Well, for all the reticence about using a dedicated area it seems to be clocking up a few pages quite nicely.

Agree about the $3 tubs - although our last major move the removal men gave us a 100+ of those flat-folded cardboard jobbies and a few rolls of that brown tape that you can only only tear with your teeth (scissors can be used but the 'where-did-I-put-those -down' syndrome hits early when you're making up so many cartons...)

Let's EAT them NOW!!!:yum:

Besides....people don't "come from a website". (At best they might come *because* of a website.) But there have been people long before there were websites...in fact, long before there was a web (archie, gopher, Usenet) or even an Internet.

The Cellar is older than HTTP, too. In fact, I downloaded my first copy of Netscape (0.98 beta thenkewveddymuch) *from* The Cellar.

Thanks for the suggestions, Flint. I really adore those apple boxes with lids that you get if you sweet talk the over night stocking crew well enough.

My real problem is figuring out how to come up with the money to rent a U-HAUL and pay for gas. A check I was expecting didn't come through, and there's not much give in my teensy income. Oh well, I'll think of something (sigh).

Sounds like Mari has a lot on her hands with the move, I'd help if I weren't 8,000-9,000 miles away (I know, lame excuse), but any of you guys out there close by to where she is now or where she is going? Maybe you could lend a hand someway, even if it is with a bit of temporary storage nearer the new place so she could move things closer before the big move day comes along? Friends of ours did that for us when we moved here, and I can rell you it made a hell of a difference - brought down the stress levels significantly

You sound like a shipper, Cycle.
Mom said I came from a cabbage patch..... or was it a turnip truck? Well, something veggie.
It's almost a pleasure to help someone that has mostly uniform containers/cartons. ;)
