So now I'm curious as to what the ACTUAL strip club story ended up being, and whether it involved tentacles. Or how the manga was actually involved...
We'll be in our bunk.

Good movers are worth every penny you pay them. I wish Gentle Giant was in Baltimore, because I'd recommend them without a single reservation. I'm sure you can ask around and get some good movers.
Also, moving companies will sell/rent you boxes, including those big plastic ones with hinged lids that stack. My ex-company used to use those for moves, and they were really useful.

OK, stayed up way too late on the phone with mom. Woke up late. Shot cat late. Read paper. Futzed. Debating taking a nap on the couch.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Last time we moved we packed our own stuff and hired professional movers. Then again, we have two peoples worth of accumulated stuff. (When I moved into G's condo we got our friends to help, but that was less stuff)

Thrive to spite them
I used movers when I moved and it was so worth the money. And I have this big desk, and one guy just hoisted it on his shoulder and took it up the stairs.
I moved in August and it was really hot. I'd advise having some water around for them to drink, especially if it is hot. The movers I used didn't bring enough water/gatorade and luckily I had some plastic cups handy at the new place and so I filled those with water and cooled them down in the fridge and the movers were really appreciative.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
meara, she was starting with what the strippers looked like -- basically like young girls wearing a lot of eye makeup. Apparently the traumatic part was how serious the other patrons were and how basically there was no fun. And the room was really cramped. Oh, and the polaroid-taking part.
Also: tentacles.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm very excited for you sarameg, even if I share your moving anxiety. If I were you, I'd be developing hives about now.
But on to msbelle's dating:I want more deets!
J peeps, represent!
Okay, this cracked me up because I assumed a totally different meaning for "J" than Jesse did.
Poor Isaac. Now he has Franny's fever. I hope this thing ends here, at least as far as our family goes. I hate to lose my spring break to fever.

J vs P?
Good luck to you and your mom, Theo.

Thanks! I'm just putting my laptop away and am going to pack the car now. SIGH
