RE: http://www.military.com/opinion/0,15202,169451,00.html

Sarah, that article was hilarious! And so true. I have found many times the packers packed trash cans full of trash. Lovely, huh?!

This past move was interesting. I have all my Christmas decorations in many rubbermaid boxes. The packers, unpacked every single Christmas decoration out of my rubbermaid boxes and repacked them in cardboard boxes. They then stacked all the rubbermaid boxes and taped them together with packing tape. I didn't realize they did this until I was unpacking at our new location. I had to unpacked all the boxes with my Christmas decorations (because of course, they were packed with other miscellanous items)and repack back into the rubbermaid boxes! Moral of the story...watch the packers very carefully!

I could go on and on but we all have been there and done that. Thank you for the laugh! Cool

Live simply. Love generously.
Care deeply. Speak kindly.
Leave the rest to God.

Totally agree! lol....this was absolutely hysterical!
My folks were just here this past weekend, and my dad happened to see our stickers that I hadn't taken off yet. This sent him and my mama down memory lane, telling us how some of the tables and dressers still had stickers on them after our final move. Smile There were stickers of all colors on some incon****uous spot--usually the backside--and that they just never took them off because it showed how many times they'd moved over the years. Smile

Yesterday I discovered that the movers had packed our landlords' toilet seat and sent it with us! lol....I now have a box of things to send back to our old landlord since some of the things are not ours.... Wink

Hmmmm, I posted a reply here a couple days ago and it didn't get released.

BAW, those stickers are a pain. Our PCS was 7 months ago and I am still taking them off things.

Ohhh, the stories of the moves.....lol
