The horrors of moving (2 Viewers)

[Psypher1000]

So we're moving to Tucson soon and today I had to pack up ye ol' chip locker.

Boxing. And boxing.

and boxing.

Soooo many chips.

If you're a chip hoarder, don't ever move unless you're prepared to face the horrific reality of just how many chips you actually have - and some of which I'd even FORGOTTEN about.

Also, next time someone hears me considering moving, please remind me how much I hate the process and suggest a nicer alternative such as, say, "not moving."

Did you have to upgrade the U-Haul to make room for the chips? My condolences x)

 

[allforcharity]

You hired a separate limo with lots of extra padding to move your collection, right? Right?

We moved from MA to AZ in 2021. Driving across the country with the wife and the bulldog and 7500 chips was NOT fun. 5 medium sized cardboard Paulson boxes and I had to bring them into the hotel at night and back in the car during the day (took us 5 days to make the drive).

We are moving in 4 years. I am NOT looking forward to it.

 

[Weckedy]

Agreed. I’ve moved at least three times since I’ve started in this hobby, and every time it’s worse than the last.

Where too?

 

[pltrgyst]

Try an extra-long Ford van filled floor to roof with two huge cacti, 500+ bottles of wine and Scotch, and 80K+ poker chips.

Never again...

Wife has had us move every year for 4 years due to settling and grad school, just renting. I am so ready to put roots down! I dont even want to put pictures up until I know Ill be there atleast 2 years.

 

[merkong]

First house 12 years, present house 14 years. If I ever move again my only concern is “where are the poker tables going.”

Accumulation… The real problem with being anywhere too long. When will we learn?

As I was boxing my stuff I was thinking of all the chips on those steel storage racks of yours and thought, if he ever has to move he’ll probably just die instead. Too much. Didn’t even consider the wine collection.

Ugh, gross. That’s enough to motivate a man to try and cut a day or two off the drive just to reduce chip movement.

As a college student I was a mover. Moving is the worst thing people do on a regular basis.

I've lived in the same house for 20 years and it'll be at least 10 years and probably closer to 20 before I move again and that will hopefully be a permanent move into where I want to retire.

 

[CraigT78]

Where too?

Pittsburgh, PA

Had enough of paradise so you are moving to hell?

One of the main reasons for M.F.K. Fisher naming her new home in California "Last House"...

I HATE moving with a passion, But the ahole/idiots in charge of CA are turning it into a cesspool so I may be making like a tree in a few years...

Why 4 years and where?

 

[CraigT78]

Why 4 years and where?

Pittsburgh PA and 4 years is when we aren't locked into children in school. Once the youngest graduates, it's Tex-it time.

Ok why Pittsburgh?

 

[CraigT78]

Ok why Pittsburgh?

My company is based there and it would eliminate 16-28 business trips a year. Plus it has seasons and winning sports teams

Texas has seasons: humid and hot & humid

Hot and humid and blazing not as humid. Oh and a week of frozen.

Craig never bluffs - he will, indeed, have another beer.

 

[louBdub]

We moved all over when I worked at my old job. Absolutely hate boxing up and not settling, but it’s part of the journey, right?

Finally retired and settled in our HOME, and I’ll never move again. Picked out a place to be buried and everything

My family got out of there a long time ago. Credit to my parents that recognized the shift. Way ahead of their time.

Now, we are seeing our California brethren flocking here. Problem is, they quickly forget what they are fleeing, and they are quickly turning our haven into the cesspool they’re fleeing. It’s unbelievable, really.
