Any companies I should avoid like the plague?

Butter Finger Movers. Glass Smashing Transport.

We had a "Seder Supper" as part of preparation for First Communion, and it was not presented as "This is how Passover is celebrated" at all, more "This is what the Last Supper would have been like and here's the symbolism we (Christians, and possibly more specifically Catholics) attach to parts of it". that was al ong timne ago, so I might be remembering it wrong, but I don know that what I remember from that doesn't fit too well into how I celebrate Pesach these days.

I'm assuming that DebetEsse's mother's seder will be around Easter, in which case it feels a little weird to me to insist on unleavened bread, as that won't be during Passover. That would make it more theatrical, like colonial Williamsburg, playing at a ritual rather than honoring or observing it.

Jessica - on TAR: I thought the same thing. They spent so much time arguing about which detour they should do that the time behind them caught up !

There's a local mover in Milwaukee that a friend used to work for that I've always loved just for their sense of humor.

Hernia Movers.

Slogan: The potentate of totin' freight.

She didn't really think about it, it was just basically the one thing she knew how to make, so she made that, and brought it, and people were eating it, and enjoying it, and then one of her Jewish co-workers was like, "This is great, what's in it?" And then she realized what she had done.

When my cousin Jamie's kosher-observing in-laws first came to visit in us Arkansas, my mom hosted a big dinner for them. Her signature entree? A huge baked ham. And the way she cooks it, it comes out really aromatic, so everyone was sitting there eating their salads and vegatable side dishes and having their noses taunted by the thing from its centerpiece location.

I'm trying to line up a moving company for the big relocation to St. Louis.

I don't know of any specific movers, but ClarK Howard [link] has some advice.

[Edit: oh, goodness. Upon looking at the post after clicking, all I can think about is "this post was brought to you by the meMeME association. Head and only member: me"]

Okay, just please stop that, because you're totally wrong. It was about your friend's baby, and about your mother, and about worrying ahead over holidays.

In a couple of hours some friends of my roommate will throw her a not-really-but-let's-call-it-this-way "bachlorette party", so today's evening will be so much better than yesterday's. Things are definitely looking up.

Yay for some fun, Nilly!

Anne, in Boston there's the company called Death Wish Piano Movers. I see their trucks on the street now and then and it cracks me up every time.

N.b. I expect they move things other than pianos too, but probably not to St. Louis.

Thanks for the link, Ginger! It looks very helpful.

Thanks, everybody. I really don't know exactly whether it was to be a demonstration or a partaking, and, as it's happening this Friday, I've more or less washed my hands of the thing.
