RN, I just got home from IGA, stopped by the dentist to see him in the morning. Just the smell made my heart pound. This is ridiculous...I'm almost 70 years old and I regress into a child ascared of the dentist.

Right now, I may take a job in Los Angeles, but I have no idea where I'd live and how I'd get my stuff across the border.

Right now, all things are possible, Yankee. Don't sweat the small stuff. We will help you smuggle it if necessary. And you can leave Finnegan here with us so he will have a cool summer, and then we can drop him off with you for the winter.

Um, you don't have allergies, do you? You know you have a lot less pollution where you are than in L.A. I have never lived in L.A., but I lived in Houston when its smog briefly surpassed L.A.'s. I had to take antihistamines EVERY day, and I would have a coughing fit promptly at four o'clock every weekday afternoon.

Right now, Juju, thanks :-)

I'm trying to figure out whether it makes more sense to move my big stuff like furniture, or sell most of it (except my "special" furniture pieces), and just buy new there. The duty thing sounds like it's a killer. It might cost more to get some of the stuff there than it's worth. Not sure about the car thing either... Yipes.

The job is a dream job.

I haven't been 100% offered it, but we discussed salary definitively and I was told to let them know tomorrow "how soon I can get there and how much $ it would cost to get me there." So the ball's sorta in my court, I suppose. And I've got to move fast and not sure where to start.

Oh, and yes DH has allergies but I don't (knock on wood). Among other things, he is allergic to evergreens, though, so maybe the smog will work for him LOL

rn,yankee, if you have time to sell your stuff, sell it. yes, keep anything that is "special" to you (even if it's "big"). since you may be living in a temporary residence until you find the place you want,you will have limited space. storage in los angeles is expensive. i've been paying $211.00 a month for storage for over 6 years. i would be paying even more, but somehow the movers fit everything in the smaller space. i wanted to go with a bigger space but they said they could fit it and they did...somehow.

only bring what you know you will fit in the home/apt. you may live in, even if it will be temporary. even if you only use storage for a few months, the added cost for the movers to take some of your stuff to storage, some to new place, then move it again when you take it all out of storage...expensive.

of course, if you won't be using movers, then all that doesn't matter.

i suggest you wait until you get here to rent/buy an apt./home so you can check out the area on your own. there are many corporate living type apts.(up to 3 bedrooms) in los angeles that charge monthly rates. some unfurnished, so you won't need storage if you don't bring too much. rent is higher than most, but you don't have to sign a lease. rent monthly until you get to know the area.

i can give you links to a few corporate apts here in los angeles (i live in one of them, but i know there are others that i think might be better..even tho' i've been happy here).

if you let me know the general area you will/might be working i can give you information on housing/apts available in the area (most areas). whether you want to buy or rent, i can give you lots of info on what is available. let me know if you decide to take the job and if you need me to give you any info.

eta: in your post you mentioned the company asked what it would take to get you here. you might suggest for them to get you an apt. in one of these corporate living apts. the place i live is world-wide. they also offer moving, but i doubt that covers canada area.

Right now, wow, Yankee! Big decision. Best of luck!! What does your heart say?

Right now, I have a headache. I feel dehydrated, which I shouldn't be because I drank a ton of water yesterday and have already had about 24 ounces today. Oh well, off to drink some more!

RN I'm feeling quite proud of myself! I've worked out in one fashion or another five days out of each of the past two weeks. RN I'm hoping I don't lose interest and can make it all the way thru to my birthday!

And RN, Mocha, is this the iPOD THREAD you want?

rn, I think I'm going to tell them that I can be there in June, but I'm going to ask for 3 months corporate rental and a move package. I can't ask for too too much because their initial plan was to go with someone already in the city, but I think I've convinced them that I'm the better person for the job.

and rn, Abby7, when I get a sec I'll post in your folder. Thanks!

RN Yankee... you should call a moving company and find out how much it costs and what it takes to move your stuff. You may find that it's not that expensive (do you pay duty for things you OWN that go across the border?). And yeah, LA has smog!!! But congrats on the offer!

RN, I'm also wondering if Yankee-in-ca will change to Yankee_in-LA!!! Hehehehe!!

RN, well, everyone thinks the _CA stands for California anyways, so I figure it's covered. Though the "yankee" thing takes on a different connotation if I'm actually IN the U.S. LOL

Right now, I have to confess I sometimes still think "California" even though I know you are in Canada!! It's the postal codes having been drilled into me so well!!!!
