Welcome back Terri, I am glad to hear you move has gone well.

Sorry Kimberly,

I keep doing that I will try to do.. oops I think I may have done it again

Shelley

I will try to stay on track though.

I'll add my voice to that. Welcome back!

Dennis

Hey Dennis my Man, good to "see" ya again, how have you been?  everything about healed up by now?  and did you get the Tie thingy down pat?  Running around topless yet? Hah! anyway, glad to be back. 

Terri

Heya Terri,

Pretty well back to 100% functioning. Not running around shirtless except in the privacy of my own home. Still have pretty visible scars. It'll take a year or two for them to go down.

Got the ties down, but using a simple schoolboy knot. No big deal, I'm still better dressed than most of the guys around here. I'm gonna practice a windsor till I can do it without having to get up at 4 AM for work.

Workplace transition went really well. It was my big worry and needn't have been. I'm kinda glad to be back at work, I was getting a bit aimless with all that time off. I don't think I'd take that long for a holiday again unless I was going somewhere for most of the time.

Now just waiting for the effects of the T to make me look closer to my age. I still look too young. Hell, I'd be happy to look 25 rather than 15.

Dennis

Back in the day I always used a half windsor. It's real easy. You want about two thirds wide side to one third narrow side. Take the narrow side and hold it between your thumb and forefinger close up to the neck. About even with the top button. Forefinger should be on top. Toss the wide side over then under up through the top and then down through the opening made by the forefinger. Then hold the knot push up while pulling the narrow length down until you choke yourself.    Seriously, no kidding thats what you do. then stick the bottom of the narrow end through the loop on the back of the wide side. That's what it's for. Hope that helps.

Oh yeah did I say welcome back Teri? I think I said that in another thread, Oh well.  Welcome back Teri!

without incident?  is that even possible to move without incident?  lol

Glad to see ya back Terri

Ok, Ok, I admit it, I streatched things a little there, but I didn't pull any muscles, drop anything on my toes, break any items, gouge any walls or track up the carpets, so I figure I got away kinda easy.  It helped also having planned things out so I already knew how I wanted to unload in order to put things away or have in place first so I have a place to put things away so I knew how I wanted to pack the truck so things went in to the truck in reverse order of how I would take them out.  One load was all it took and I was able to back the truck up to the door on both ends.  Sometimes things work out ok, now if comcast would speed up a little.  Already had the power and gas on, had to wait until after the holiday for the phone and just got the mail switched and still need to change addresses on all accounts and work, medical etc. but thats all easy enough and most of it can be done online.

Terri

Thank you Cassie, and I do believe you did ...

Terri

Now why doesn't it surprise me that you were that organised Terri?

I know from your posts that at sometime your thinking hasn't been as organised as it has been since I've known you. But since I've known I would have to think that you are one organised person. I used to be like that but my wife and six kid have warn me down.The thought of moving now terrifies me.

Sheley

Glad to hear everything went pretty good.  When I moved back from Michigan, I didn't have any major furniture to haul with me, so packing everything in my 4-door sedan was the hardest part.

Welcome back!

organized huh Shelley?  Generally I am, at my best I'm always a step ahead if not two, but quite a bit I couldn't  organize the alphabet.  Just depends on how I'm dealing with myself at the moment I guess.  And yea, Kids'll do that to ya too.

I was always an opportunistic, on my feet planner, I think well on my feet, but at times I just get bogged down wondering where I put what out of place, I'm a little confusing at such times and think out loud to much and talk to myself, but then my father always told me that when I needed someone intelligent to talk with, myself was a good place to start, just don't take myself to seriously.

I'm getting better though, just a matter of putting some things away and behind so they don't occupy my thoughts, time and energy.  seems like it's a never ending process, but I'm gaining on it, or so they tell me.  Leaving a lot behind lately, I think transition is finally in full progress, bout time, I was wondering when it would actually happen, was just hanging on to and internalising to much for to long and the pots been boiling over.

Thanks shelley, and yeah stephanie, I haven't got much anymore but unfortunately more then will go into my sedan.  I'm actually happier without much "stuff", don't feel so tied down, but then there is always my kitties and thier stuff along with my 3 goldfish and of course their stuff as well as all this computer junk. But I just moved a little down the street more or less.   I get lonely a lot though, I was used to always having a family around when at home and now for the most part, just me and the "boys", Tiggie and Baxie.   After more then 35 some years of marrage and kids, its a little strange just worring about only me.  It all takes a lot of getting used to.  I like having my own space, but I don't like being alone, makes me think to much and can't find enough to occupy me without all the hussle and bustle about and everyone elses problems to deal with to get me away from my own.  Thats generally all it takes to get me straightend back out when I go down to deep, a simple change of subject and activity.  Just something else to think about for a while.
