The blanket is so great! It looks like a big hug. Thanks, everyone who worked on it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
does anyone here know anything about moving cars across the country? We have two to move.
I have done internet searches, but the companies who have given me quotes seem sketchy (3-4 different companies, calling from the same area code, with the same email formatting). I can find no independent reviews of the companies outside of one website. The website has thousands of reviews, but usually companies (I have dealt with) have more of an online presence than that.
Oh, and all the companies have obviously used website creator software for their websites.
I need some leads on reputable auto moving companies. Please.
I just about had a meltdown last night trying to sort through this particular issue.
Any tips any of you have would be appreciated.

le nubian, I don't know where you are, but if time is not of the essence, could you use the movers from the Delancey Street Foundation? I used them for a cross country move and for a car (two separate things) and things went fine.

Sniff -- no one asked me to work on the blanket. But given my track record for getting things done on time, you'd still be waiting for it.

Sparky,
I have never heard of them. I will investigate.

Theo,
part of the problem. I have no younger relatives by blood except 3rd and 4th cousins who I never see.
Beau has a youngest sister who I would not trust to drive my car around a college town for a day much less across country. Although, maybe my assessment of her is in error.
We'd still need another car to transport.

All I know is that Clark Howard recommends using movers that are members of the American Moving and Storage Association's ProMover program [link] which does seem to include some vehicle movers.

Sigh. I went to the doctor this AM to talk about all the anxiety and stress I have been having, mostly due to work. It was a really hard step for me to take...I am not really good about asking for help. My doctor was great to talk to and we discussed all my options for treatment, but mostly we agreed that counselling of some kind would be good for me. Since my work has an employee assistance program that provides counselling, and since most of my anxiety seems to be work related, she suggested I start there, mostly because it's free for however long it lasts. I come home, call EAP and first, get a phone tree. I make it through the tree and get voicemail!!! WTF! What kind of counselling program is this.
