    Congratulations! I'm hoping to move there or at the least own property in that area by the end of the year...all depends on how many people want Satellite TV!

    Happy too for the others that may be moving out there close to you, I know for a fact it feels better to know you're not alone. Take care!

    FL and ITIS, Congratulations on your move.

    Moving is one of the most stressful things in life, but I think staying where you were would definitely cause even more stress.

    I hope you will truly enjoy your new place, and also come to embrace the whole adventure that you have suddenly inherited with all your freedom. Life really is an adventure, just as we secretly hoped...

    And FL, that is a very profound poem.

    Congrats on your new start!!

    It's hard to start over in a new place ( especially with not a lot of familiar faces ) but also so nice to explore your new town.

    All the best!

    Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm so happy for you guys. Guess I won't be able to see you in the other place anymore but you've made a good move. I'm glad that I got to meet you and ITIS before your big move.

    Please keep us informed as to how it goes.

    Howdy to one and all. Thanks for all the well wishes..

    Sitting here in my new place and drinking some morning coffee and waiting for ITIS to get back from his second trip of getting all our stuff from our old place. I would love to call a friend to go have breakfast or coffee with this morning but don't know anyone here yet so I figured I'd chat back at you guys this morning...

    Lazyslob - thanks! love your name still. cracks me up everytime. "here I am - take me or leave me."

    Bryan - thanks man! like I've told you before, your story is really inspiring to me. especially the way you've overcome things .DiveJunkie -

    Now you'll be in a place where no explanations are needed or expected - no judgements from those around you and no weird encounters with former friends

    yes! yes! I love it. I was walking downtown yesterday and I was kind of feeling sad how alone I felt there, not knowing anyone. then it occured to me how clean the slate was, not knowing anyone. REBORN BABY! and I felt exhilirated at that.

    Dave - I haven't ever told you, but I really enjoy your posts and thoughts. you seem like a pretty cool dude in my book. by the way, my kids love your avatar pic!

    honesty - THANKS!! your pic always makes me want to dance a little jig.....ha ha ha

    atypical - thanks for the thoughts!

    tetra - thanks. I knew you'd appreciate that....and maybe even get it.

    spaznik - glad I warmed your heart!

    full of doubt - yes, yes. enjoying my freedom immensely. I loved your story.

    vitty - thanks for the pat on the back. I am hoping this move will lessen the scarring somewhat.....

    luna2- yes, wouldn't it be great for my hubby and all of us to get some family out of this!?

    AKJeff- the physical move really needed to be done for me to completely be able to get on with my life. you have a wonderful way with words. really enjoy your posts.

    Sunnygal- dancing around the room with you - sun shiny day!!

    Bumble Bee- yes, yes, he'll be moving in with us soon. cool for him and us huh?!

    CYP- HEY MAN! how you been? been trying to keep up with your happenings....you're a busy guy! keep it up. you're handling stuff perfectly. smart man you are! lucky lady your wife is!

    Listener - glad we've been helpful to you!

    Legolas - thanks Legolas! got to say....Orlando was hot in that long blond wig in Lord of the Rings. He should wear that thing all the time............MMMEEEOOOWWW!! grrrrrrr!

    Goldminer - thanks for the thoughts. (good energy vibes going your way for your wife.)....maybe one day my friend.

    carla - thanks! I do hope you get what your after regarding your hubby......

    wanderlust - come on out for a visit and look for some property!! it's going fast around here! we'd be your first satellite customers over here.....hope your having a good day today. you'be had quite a few rough weeks....((((((((wanderlust))))))))))

    XBEHERE - hey man! been wondering how you were????????????

    GGG - was thinking of you this week also. if it works out, yes, yes, let's get together.....send me a PM!

    bebu - yes, moving is stressful, but this move hasn't stressed me out that bad. funny, that kind of stuff used to put me in a tail spin. a lot of things seem to roll off my back now a days. life is way too serious, and needs to be enjoyed and savored IMO. glad you liked my poem....

    DAMS - come for a visit so we can "skip and slip" together.... ha ha ha..........still cracking me up!

    Happydad - thanks so much!! we're settling in very well. how are you doing???

    cellist - thanks for your well wishes......would love to hear your music. have any online somewhere??

    You guys are all great. really you are.

    funny how I keep comparing this move to other moves I've made in my life. I would move before, because I knew I could rebuild my social structure at the KH. Now, I don't know anyone here, and I miss having a friend to call and hang with, but I don't miss the JW social structure at all. I look forward to all the new people I will meet. I get to hand pick friends now. not have a limited choice of who I welcome into my new life. and those people will be my friends for me. not because I'm "zealous" or "spiritually encouraging" to be with.

    so, we'll keep you up to date on the happenings here. I'm getting ITIS to take me to get my new piercing done hopefully this week. maybe a pic will be in order???

    if any of you want to PM me for our family's website to find out more, let me know. ITIS keeps it up to date.

    LOVE YOU GUYS!! been fun chatting with you all this morning....

    What are you getting pierced? (Just being nosy)

    Congratulations on your new place and being able to start over somewhere. That sure makes things easier.

    Hi mis-

    my navel first. have to go back for my JW brother's wedding in 8 weeks so I need to be able to hide my piercing while I'm there. after that I don't have a need to go back home for awhile so my nose will be next, and at least one tattoo....

    can't wait!!
