Sorry everyone...

[Vic Romano]

If I've been testy or short lately, I'm moving in 3 days and it's just wearing me down lately. We're moving away from family, we're moving away from friends and our current home is all upside down. I've only moved once (when we got married) and so I'm not real good at it yet, y'know?
Things in my life are going really really well lately, and normally I deal with stress a lot better then this, so maybe it's just me craving some sort of drama or somethin' weird like that.
At any rate, before I joined MC, I never believed someone could develop real friendships online, and youse' guys... my MC family have proved that wrong. So bottom line: thanks for understanding, and like I said, if I pressed yer' buttons th'wrong way lately, I'm sorry. I really do love you guys.

Awwww Dave ((((friendly hug)))) You're entitled to be in a bad mood. I personally haven't noticed anything,but being under stress is tough. Just take one step at a time. And remember all of your friends are here for you,OK?

Oh Vic. If you want to talk moving. You talk to my friend's mom. Here's a story which just happened a couple of weeks ago. I had spent the night with my friend. Well since they were going to be moving they need to sell some stuff. So I decided to help them with the garage sale. Ok. The next day we started to move the stuff. It was me my firend and his mom's boyfriend. We had already said we were going to put some stuff into a storage shed. So we did that. Ok well after that we need to take some stuff to the landfield. Well that's when my friend's mom came home for a little while to hang out with her boyfriend.

So me and my firend stayed at the house while they went to dump the stuff. They get back and she went back to school. (She teaches) So we start to load up some more stuff when Mark (boyfriend of my friend's mom) said he couldn't find the keys to the U-Haul. So we looked everywhere. In the house. Under things. In the truck. Went to see if my friend's mom had them. We then started to look on the truck with all the stuff we loaded. Me and Mark went to the place that rent U-Hauls. We asked if they had a spare key. Nope. So then we went back. Looked some more. Minutes turn to hours hours turn to more hours and so then we finally gave up. (bad idea) So me and my firend go into his old room to watch some TV. (we hadn't got the tv yet) Well since the cable had already been switched to the apartment..we couldn't watch no tv. So were just sitting there in his room. (he told me that his mom would be mad when she got home) We we hear her come in. She then asked, "Did ya'll fine them?" The answer to that was "No." She then went ballistic. She went off the handle. She screamed at Mark for hours and hours. She then gets into her car and drives off. Me and my firend come out of his room (after the fit) and saw Mark. He couldn't take it. He threw all of his money on the floor and said he was leaving to go back home. (which in in Washington) He walks off. I for myself starts to cry (really I did) I couldn't take it.

I couldn't see a guy just walk off because some one couldn't sit down and be an adult and talk this through. (My friend's mom really made me mad at her for blowing up in his face) My friend's mom comes back and still is in a frantic mood. We tell her that we've been looking for the keys the whole time. All she keeps saying is, "I find him sleeping in the floor." (we were tired and gave up) Back when we asked the U-Haul guy about a key he had told us if we couldn't find the key to call a locksmith. So that is what she does. (also still in a frantic mood too) She then makes us (me and my friend go find Mark) She goes too. He had told us he was going to be a "Skinny's" a gas station. So we get to him and she talks to him while me and my firend wait in the car. They talk and talk and talk. So he keeps walking away. She can't seem to get through to him. (well what would happen next) but someone in the store calls the cops. They think there's going to be a fight. The cops come while we are following them in the car while they talk and walk. She tells them what's been going on that everyone is stressful. They go ahead and go on.


So we get him into the car. We drive back to the house. He's still not wanting to be around. He wants to still go. He's starts to walk away again. I'm still in my (upset mood too) Me and my firend try our best to let him know we love him. That we don't want to see him go. (Hope this isn't boring ya'll) Finally we get in touch with a locksmith and have to go through lots of stuff on the phone. Well everyone she keeps calling is closed. Meaning the guys she's having to get in touch with to have the numbers for a certian key. That doesn't do any good. So then we all go inside and starts the search again.


After a few minutes go by she finds the key. It was in a room in a plastic bag in (can't spell) drewer. We all understand that hours have gone and that we think were never going to get everything done in that one day. We get all the big stuff fianlly. We are tired and want to sleep. I want to watch TV. Since I didn't look good at the thing in the wall I found out that I need another cord. Well that sucked. No tv and nothing to get me to sleep.

(I fianlly got to sleep but keep getting (charlie horses) all night long. I had been over at my friends for 7 whold days. So I finally got my firend to take me home. (Oh I was glad to be back in my bed) And to be home. And there you go. My adventure (nightmare of ****) of a moving days.

Oh boy, do I know about moving... I moved just this past April with my family, down-sizing from a 2-family to a condo. The wrong thing to do is think you've got it all under control and organized, because when moving day comes, everything goes topsy-turvy and you find out it's better to just not fight it, to just go with the flow... Like Kermit The Frog tries to do on The Muppet Show. Just remember that your friends on MC are here for you and... just keep swimming!

By the way, you're not leaving good ol' New Jersey, are you? Jersey rocks!

 

[D'Snowth]

Moving sucks, I mean really really sucks! I moved nearly twenty times in the past seventeen years, so don't worry Vic, I know EXACTLY how you feel!

VIC!!! You haven't been crabby lately!! If you were do you think Pepe would let you get away with being the resident shellfish on the block? Well, he wouldn't, he is rather shellfish...

Thanks, Kathy; I love hugs and that was a good one!

Gees, Ruahnna; I guess if anyone would know about moving, it's you! Thanks for the kind words.

That's quite a story, Kyle! Fortunately my wife and I have always made open communication the core of our relationship, so we haven't been fighting, but rather just holding the other up. I know I certainly couldn't do this without her... then again if I didn't have her I wouldn't have all this extra stuff! Thanks for sharin' bud.

Sylinde, Jersey definately rocks. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm your stereotypical Jersey boy through and through, and I believe you can take the boy outta' Jersey, butcha' can't take the Jersey outta' th'boy. Thankfully though, I'm stayin' in Jersey, I'm movin' to a town called Nutley. I know nothing about the area, but it seems nice.

I'm glad you read this, Snowth; because yer' one of the guys I thought I might have lashed at, and I'm sorry. Thanks for understanding.

And Ryan, you've been like my wing man and reminding me to keep straight. I know you may not think so, but I read yer' posts, laugh my bum off and remember this is a site dedicated to Jim's memory. Your posts have more meaning then just humor; almost everyone's posts here do, you could touch a life and never know it, but you have.

The move is going smooth enough thus far (knock on wood), it's just our home right now is so... different, so cold and not the right atmosphere, y'know? I miss the way it was and I just can't wait til we move. I was so upset last night, I'm at work for the first time in 4 days, and I only got 2 hours sleep last night. God I can't wait til this is over.

*blushes* Well thanks Vic, that means a lot. And I'm very happy I could touch your life. Thanks Vic...Just Thanks...You've made my day.

Hey! It's all good my friend! I totally understand the moving thing. I had to move into our house about two months before the wedding, then my husband moved the week before the wedding and we've recently had to help his sister move for the fifth time in a year so believe me, I know about moving and how stressful it can be! I also know that sometimes things come across on the internet differently then how we mean them and would totally forgive that as well, although I personally haven't noticed you being too cranky lately. Just a few more **** in your posts than normal lately, that's all! And I honestly don't mind that, it makes me laugh. Anyway, you're all cool with me Dave, you're a good friend and I wish you a happy and successful move, I'm sure everything will turn out great!
