Idea for a new Reality TV show...make couples move into another house
Yup lets see how sweet some of them are then! oh and makes sure it is 85 degrees outside at least.. Seriously though is it just me or does moving seem to bring out the worst in people? If my DH wasnt so much bigger then me I would have been very tempted to deck him a few times. I have a certain way I like to move..Yes OCD but methodical. I start with all the closets and shift my way through one level at a time. For some reason this has always worked for me and helps me feel relaxed. My dh on the other hand likes to "hop" as in hop from here to there without a real plan. Then he gets mad because I wasnt ready in whatever area it was he decided to move over to the new house at that moment. How do you deal or plan to deal with your dh? Biggest issue of our day was over the 800lb iron gunsafe that I use for my business records and valuables up a flight of stairs, and then down a flight to the basement of the new house. That safe just about ended up on freecycle today.
Re: Idea for a new Reality TV show...make couples move into another house
I am so glad I'm not the only one! Buying/packing/staging current apartment has led to some not so awesome episodes. So far we've duked it out over the role Ikea is going to play in furnishing our forever house (it will be limited to bookcases) and whether we needed to stage our current apartment to get it rented so we could break our lease. I wanted to give us the best odds possible of getting it rented since we'd be on the hook for about $5K in rent if it didn't happen. New tenants are supposed to sign tomorrow for the exact date we wanted - so (fingers crossed) no money wasted!
I don't have a firm plan on how to deal with him over the next three weeks leading up to moving. I've taken on a lot of the coordinating because he has a huge professional exam in June and spends a lot of time studying, so I will probably give him a list of what he is responsible for well in advance. Then I will have to ask him every few days how that's coming. He's very logical and works well if given expectations up front, so if I lay it all out and point out how close certain deadlines are approaching he should be okay.
One difference we have is how we deal with stressful situations. When something happens that we can't change, I might get stressed and annoyed, but I'm good at saying 'whatever, let's just get it done and keep on trucking', where H sometimes shuts down. When that happens, I usually try to offer up the other solution -- when the search process got tough and he didn't want to look anymore, I asked if he wanted to call the whole thing off and just keep renting, letting him know that I would be fine with that. When he said he wanted a house now, I pointed out that looking at them was really the only way to get to that point unless he was willing to let me choose it by myself. It worked and he got back in the saddle.
I imagine that if he shuts down while moving, I will ask if he just wants to buy the moving truck instead and live out of that
. However, I admit that in my less than awesome moments I have said things like "if you just do what I tell you to do, your life will be easier and better because I am always right."
Oh I totally know what you mean!! The moving part was not so bad, but it was the packing and keeping our house clean & ready for showings 100% of the time that was difficult!
I am kind of picky on how things should look and how to pack. FI thought I was crazy for starting to pack 3 weeks before moving. He's the crazy one, RIGHT??? Basically it felt like I did all the packing on my own, but to his defense, he works 6 days a week, 10 hours a day with 2 hour commute (total).
I'm so glad that is over. We've moved together 4 times and I think it gets easier each time
Oh, I agree! My H and I disagreed on the best way to move from our rental to the new house. I wanted to pack up everything we could, then hire movers. He wanted to just throw stuff in our cars (unpacked) and make as many trips as it took (the new house was only a few miles away).
We compromised -- I packed a bunch, then had movers come in and move the packed stuff + furniture. Then they left, and we started using his method for everything that was left. It took SO many hours and so many trips! I hope he remembers that, and wants to do all of it my way next time. (If there is a next time).
We didn't run into any problems unpacking, thankfully.
On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?
One problem. There is no Clippers Curse. What believers accede a anathema the blow of the apple considers a alternation of bad administration decisions.Cheap Nike Shoes Oh sure, there are times if players accept been injured: Blake Griffin absent his aboriginal division because of a knee injury. Danny Manning, the Clippers? top aces in 1988, blew out his knee in his amateur season. The aggregation traded two first-round picks for Tiny Archibald in 1977; one ages into the season, he tore his Achilles? bond and absent the absolute season. Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.
Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

cott and Magic Johnson both adversity broken hamstrings during the 1989 NBA Finals, with Scott affliction his afore Bold 1 and Johnson during Bold 2. The Lakers were swept in that series. Cheap Jordan Shoes Or Magic backward afterwards testing absolute for HIV. Does anyone say the Lakers are cursed? No, because the Lakers admiral accept a history of authoritative astute abstract picks and trades, abrogation the aggregation in position to balance bound from setbacks.
Look at the Clippers? abstract history: In 1981, they drafted Tom Chambers, who went on to accept a solid career ? with Seattle and Phoenix. Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers. In 1984, they called Lancaster Gordon with the eighth all-embracing aces of the draft. Lancaster Gordon? Nike jordans shoes sales Meanwhile, eight picks later, the Utah Jazz called John Stockton. In 1985, with the third aces in the abstract and with Chris Mullin, Detlef Schrempf, Charles Oakley, Karl Malone and Joe Dumars all available, the Clippers selected, delay for it, Benoit Benjamin. (By the way, that year the Lakers called A.C. Green with the 23rd pick.)
We could play the ?name the bad abstract pick? bold all day. In 1987, the Clippers had three first-round picks. They went with Reggie Williams, Joe Wolf and Ken Norman. Remember Danny Ferry? Bo Kimble? LeRon Ellis? Randy Woods? Terry Dehere? Lamond Murray? Michael Olowokandi?
So, no, there is no Clippers Curse. There was just a alternation of abhorrent amateur cadre decisions fabricated by the team.Which seems to accept afflicted this division beneath new General Manager Neil Olshey. Who is apparently busily aggravating to ample the aperture Billups? abrasion leaves.
