No stolen newspapers at the new house, but I hadn't had my paper stolen at my apartment since early February. The perp suddenly decided to quit.

The new neighborhood is nice. The old neighborhood was fine, but it was a block of nothing but apartments and condos. This is a more traditional neighborhood with houses and yards and driveways and garages and alleys.

Has anyone stolen your paper yet?

What's the neighborhood like compared to the old one?

Brendan: That's nothing to feel bad about. I lived in the same house from birth until 27. Not that I didn't WANT to move out, but I was determined to buy my own house as soon as possible, and living with mom meant not having to pay rent, only expenses, which was important on my crappy salary. I was very attached to my old house and my old neighborhood, to the point where I thought I would one day buy the house from my mom. I'm glad I didn't; adapting to a new house in a new setting wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be, and it's amazing how quickly you can become comfortable in a new environment.

I must say, Jamahl really SHOULD have packed and cleaned "more" (or at all) before we were there to assist. What do you take us for–a supportive family, or a pro bono cleaning and moving staff?!

Anyway, Jamahl, I'm looking forward to seeing you the next time I'm in Illinois, under more relaxed circumstances. Just remember, you now owe me a very large favor to be cashed in at any time I choose, for any reason, without warning.

Okay, I demand you fly here and clean my apartment right now. Heh.

I'm not kidding.

It's funny, I'll be going through this exact same ordeal over the next few weeks. I'm closing on my house on 5/19, moving the next weekend, cleaning the apartment, and shopping for a TV, washer and dryer. Any advice on good appliances and TVs?

And I just finished BGS season 3 from netflix and recovering from my blown mind.

The Last time I moved was with my parents, and it took us over five years to get everything unpacked. In fact there are still a couple of boxes full of useless jusnk stuck way up on the shelves in their house. Better luck to you.

I have never moved in my 22 year life. Yes I still live with my parents, and have been in the same house since birth. It will be a jarring life change when I finally get my own place. Plus it sounds like a pain in the ass.

Maybe I'll stick around for a while longer.

I ALWAYS hate moving, I've done it 3 times in the last 2 years and I shall be moving again (more permanently this time, as opposed to damned university accommodation) in July, which I am definitely not looking forward to. Even the thought of it makes me feel exhausted already.

Congrats on the Samsung though, great brand!
