Thanks, Tess. Buttercup.....I applaud you driving alone. It is a long tedious haul.

Thanks, Tess, for explaining. :)

The older I get, the more I agree with MsBat. Just get rid of everything and start over. (I guess I still haven't recovered from my last move)

But the putting it in a container and having someone else drives it sounds like the 2nd best idea. I am assuming they charge a flat rate by the container. I have heard too many horror stories by people who use moving companies and what they have to pay is such a much higher price than what they are quoted (all the hidden charges) So with the container, I am assummining they can't do that.

Good luck, Buttercup.

Btw, What part of Florida is she heading too? Miami by any chance? :)

Grooch, there is a service available for this in existence. Look up Legal, divorce lawyers on the net.

Morning all-

Grooch, I think Buttercup is heading for Naples Fla. She has a standing invite here in Gulfport, Mississippi if she comes this way.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!

ummm, back to the road trips updates..........

It seems that Spygirl has already traveled 200 miles this morning and has passed Tyler, Texas and is doing a lot of whining about a bit of rain.

Moondance, call me when you get on the road. This Spygirl roadtrip is going to be finished before it has time to get started. Spy only has 165 miles left at the clip she is currently traveling. She will be finished and I was just getting warmed up.

How fast is everyone driving?????

Merlin, as to your quip. I only meant belongings. I didn't mean to include money in that. But that was a good one.

Have a great trip Moonie. Hope Santa has something special waiting for you at your moms.

Wow! So many travels to track!

Spygirl is traveling faster than Santa.

Moondance is almost launched.

Buttercup is who knows where. Maybe still asleep? Headed for Gulfport? Yay, Phrf!

Ocean_Islands is leavin' on a jet plane.

Fruitbat is home.

MERLIN is travel central???



Happy and safe travels to all the tvch travelers. We will want sordid details of family get togethers.

I will watch for the Moondance progress, Merlin.

Spygirl is swearing to have not exceeded 75 mph. She is saying she will be at her parents home by about 11 am board time.

I am willing to bet she will check the board before even making a bathroom visit. Anyone who is glad to be in a place where you can see forever and there is nothing to slow the wind down,(such as trees) has to be missing priorites somehow.

So I finally get to Monroe, and Spy leaves town!!! Didn't even get to see her :(

Had a Super night sleep at this Super 8 Motel with A Super view and Super sound effects--freeway and traffic. Well, there is an 8 x 8 (or sumptin' like that) blue puddle below, but somehow on this rainy day it isn't looking too inviting.

Not so sure about the Super yellow water inside from the faucet and shower....there is just something wrong about cleaning yourself with that.... Yeah, sure, I'll have some cheese with that w(h)ine!

Getting ready to find the perfect home before I know whether I'll be living in this towne or not Yes, I AM blond

Headed south again tonight--they are starting to worry about me getting to Naples before Christmas with all of my little detours. They don't even know that I now have added a possible stop at Phrf's!

Well, time to put on the lipstick and bat those eyelashes at potential male landlords--it worked on Merlin

I've long admired your restraint Merlin.

Spygirl is already there by now, I'm sure. Except for the construction in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area, it's smooth, fast driving most of the way across that part of the state!

Moondance is coming to visit me when she gets to Texas, and I am so thrilled! Merry Christmas to me! LOL!

Good luck Buttercup on finding the perfect place to move into!

We are home and waiting with anticipation if you want to stop here. (we have wine too)

Phrf, Merlin said Buttercup eats a lot, so just be forewarned. Best to toss a big glob of tofu at her right as she walks in the door.

Tofu and plain rice cakes tie for some of the best tasting food known to human kind. At least rice cakes don't "splat" when they land.

Miss Buttercup is waiting to be shown a little house by the water that she just happened to see. Anyone want to take bets on how fast she sweet-talks the landlord??

Tess

Lance, I'm assuming you're being a tad bit on the sarcastic side there. Now if you were to say that mini chocolate rice cakes were good I'd be more inclined to believe you.

*warning for travelers on I-20*

This bit of information has been relayed by some big rig drivers heading east on I-20 near Palm Springs, California. It seems a hunter green Toyota 4runner is passing everything in sight. Some drivers have reported overhearing the female driver singing that Helen Reddy song, I am woman, through the open sun roof. Some of the lyrics have been changed to add a phrase about not stopping till I reach El Paso tonight. All the big rig drivers realize this is about an 800 mile trip and all have come to the conclusion this is some type of female road warrior behind the wheel.

I was thinking this may be Moondance by the vehicle description. I asked if the this female driver was waving back at any of the truck drivers and was told that the ones who got out of her way recieved a very friendly wave, and the ones who didnt often recieved that single digit wave.

I am really thinking this is Moondance now.

Merlin--MissButtercup says "Merlin is a dead man walking." That would be for telling Juju that Her Majesty eats a lot.

And while that dead man is walking, MissButtercup is taking an hour to think about the cute house by the water. I have vowed to sit here til she makes up her mind. I will be all on Her Royal Head if I do not have the proper wine (or any wine for that matter) for Chrismas Eve dinner as I have yet to run my errands for the day.

Merlin, how will you ever keep track of all these women now??
