The new place sounds like a sweet deal, Trudy! And, yes, maybe your old place was just saying goodbye in its creaky old way, the only way it has. Be grateful it isn't hiding your important treasures to keep you from leaving!
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Thank you, Tom. You really do take good care of all of us, and I am immensely grateful.
Love to all of you, in whatever form you're most comfortable with.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
and (best of all) NOT a new tub but the century old one reglazed.
Worth its weight in mmmmmmm.
I miss my tub in San Diego so much.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Had a brief moment of, "Huh? My tub is lousy." Then remembered that your former neighborhood is probably 50-80 years older than mine and got jealous of your former tub sight unseen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Nice, Trudy!
The only time I had a really nice bathtub it was in an apartment on the second floor that shook whenever a big truck went by. That made it really hard to relax and enjoy a bath. For some reason, when sitting on the couch it just felt like "oh, yeah, the building is shaking, like it does" but being in the tub felt like "the floor is about to collapse let me plummet to my death"
Eta: when I stay in a hotel and it has a really nice tub I really enjoy it

House was built in 1943 but it always felt a few decades older. I loved that place. The tub was one of the best features.

Very nice!
So actually only 30ish years older than my neighborhood, but they definitely didn't try as hard on the bathrooms by the 70s.
