Curious,

I'm so glad that this isn't an on-topic forum only.

Cindy,

I'm not much of a drinker but I have a bottle of peach flavored Vodka I haven't tried yet. Hmmmm, good idea.

Margie

Sally,

Thanks. I signed the new lease and got the apt. keys today. Will be moving Monday.

Yes, I live alone....OOPS, don't let my 2 cats hear that.

Kids, we have a new pupil in the classroom!

LOL, sweetie, you can toast with a glass of milk for all I care, just give yourself a little celebration, you deserve it and life is short!

Congrats on the new place. Sounds perfect!

WHat a triumph, enjoy the new digs, Margie.

Hi everyone,

Well, I moved into my new digs on Monday and am still trying to recover. I spent 45 minutes out in the hot Florida sun trying to flag down the movers....the original Dumb and Dumber. I live on a 3 X 4 mile island in public housing, they are movers and couldn't find the place.

The phone man was supposed to be here in the afternoon and when I walked up the street to watch for the movers, at 8:45AM, the phone guy was here.

The movers decided it was easier to carry over all my stuff with their handcarts as it was only 3 buildings away so I was at the old apt. and they made trips back and forth. So, I was not here to say put this here, put this there. so when they were done and I finally came over....well, my heavy microwave was in the bedroom and both window air conditioners were in the bedroom....there is only one window in the bedroom!! I'm slowly getting things put away. I was without A/C for 3 days waiting for maintenance to come install them and with heat index, it was like 100 degrees out. It was miserable and luckily, I have 3 fans.

Good news is that they didn't destroy any of my electronics, both A/cs still work and I won a 1 1/2 year battle with Medicaid because when Medicare D began, they took away my full Medicaid which I needed for transportation to specialists in Miami (135 miles) as there are none in the Keys and I needed my eye care back. Finally after 1 1/2 years, I found a federal law that proved they took it away from me illegally 4 weeks ago and now have my full Medicaid with my Medicare, etc. It pays not to give up.

Yay Margie
Glad to hear the move is behind you, the a/c is hooked up and you won your medicaid victory. What a great week. Well done. I'm so glad you shared your week. Now, kick back, relax and enjoy your new digs.

Moving is brutal, it doesn't matter who it is! I'm so glad it's over for you! How do you like it in the new hood?

Hiya Margie! Nice to meet you. I see the Lunatic Squad has already done the "meet and greet" so I'll do my flyover and make sure they haven't done any real harm to you! (yes I am a real pilot!)

I've been to the Keys this time of year, not exactly the best time to move, but having been a Navy wife for 20 years, I discovered there really isn't any good time to move! Just do it and get it over with! LOL!

Hope you do well in your new location! Sunsets are beautiful in the Keys, and well worth the time spent there! I do miss them...tradition, tradition, tradition! Peach flavored vodka! Ah....lovely. I like the cranberry flavored myself. The citrus isn't bad either!

Watch out for DM's brownies...especially if she is in a particurlarly quirky mood! They can keep you going, and going and going! LOL!

Yep, this is a great place.
