46 years old, 11 states and soon-to-be my 25th address

[lizziegrace]

Looks like I'm packing up again. Can't afford heating oil prices and my commute is expensive. Any wonder I won't let people get close? Either I leave (due to circumstances) or they move...

So, can anyone top 11 states and/or 25 addresses??

;)

1. wild and windblown, eh?

:(

You're doing what you need to do. :hug:

5. The trains

no more trains. :-(

[RetroLounge]

6. I have several train sound LP records.

Got a record player?

8. I don't

maybe someday I can get a USB turntable. :-(

My ex got ALL the stereo equipment in the divorce.

13. If you move near Wilmington you can borrow mine

Good luck with the move :hugs:

[LaurenG]

3. I'm glad you're moving but I haven't moved that often, I don't think

and my dad was in the Army. :hug:

[Guava Jelly]

4. I can't top that

But I can wish you a painless and easy move.
And hope only the best for such a sweet person. :hug: :loveya:

7. Oh no!

Where are you going?

[lizziegrace]

9. about 20 miles from where I am now

to a McCondo development. A co-worker is moving out of his condo and wants to keep as rental property. Nice place. It's so not me...

[LynzM]

11. Oh dude.....

:hug: :hug: :hug: I'm sorry... I'm glad you have a place to go, but sad for you that you need to leave the place you have. :(

[1gobluedem]

12. That's a bummer...

On the plus side, though, they take care of snow removal. On a day like today, that sounds really, really nice.

[lizziegrace]

15. I'll save $50/month in rent

hundreds in fuel oil and lots in gas (my office will be 2-3 miles away instead of 25) and wear and tear on my car. Still... :-(

23. I know it doesn't feel like 'you' - but the improvement in

your quality of life - being able to stay warm and solvent - really does sound wonderful.

My sister and her husband live in a McCondo-type place, but they both travel all the time and needed an easy place to care for, easy to get to the airport, etc. It's certainly not either of their first choices, but it works, and honestly, with the touches they've put into it, it is quite comfortable.

I hope it is better than you expect, lizziegrace. :hug:

24. It'll be okay

I'm just stubborn and don't want to admit I can't make my current situation work. :hug:

Thanks. :)

[Sanity Claws]

10. Can't top you

Just wanted to wish you luck.
With so many moves, you probably have the whole thing down to a fine science.

[DarkTirade]

14. Nope. Three and seven for me.

But I'm only 26. :)

16. The single room occupancy hotel wasn't fun, but I never had to

spend a night in there alone. That was the hardest ... we kept milk and pizza on the frozen windowsill.

If you can reach out to another, no matter how wrong it feels - the payoff could be worth it.

18. I'm up there with you

I've lived in 4 states & at least 25 different addresses and I'm 36!!!
My Dad was in Real Estate and Insurance in the 70's, so we were always on the move. Plus my Mom loved to fix up new houses. In the last 10 years I've only lived in 2 homes, though.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Before we landed here, my husband had lived in 27 different cities.

eight states. Me? Two states, six places.

[VenusRising]

20. You mean.....

we're not going to be neighbors anymore??

:(

[lizziegrace]

21. Unless you can find me a roommate

:(

I'm going bankrupt...

[VenusRising]

22. I understand.

We had to get a roommate, too.

Hang in there, sweetie.

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Oh my dear lizzie...

You're leaving that wonderful farmhouse?

Omigod.

I know your heart is breaking...mine sure is.

I have so many wonderful memories from my stay there...

Aw, sweetie...

I am so damn sorry...

:hug:

26. 45, 3 states and 12 addresses.

I have been in the same
place for 23 years now.
It would be easier for me
to burn my house down
and have to buy everything new,
than try to pack up and move
all the crap I have accumulated
over the years.

Good luck on the move. It may
end up being for the best in ways
you do not even imagine now.

[Callalily]

27. Nope - can't top that.

But I'm sending lots of good vibes and hugs. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
