Well my best friend got a new and better job 8 hours away.
His lease was up on his house and they were trying to screw him on the buy agreement so it was great timing there. Plus his old employer wasn’t being to pleasant either so all signs where pointing that this is what he should do.

I'm happy for him, I hope he is happy and the best of luck and all, but now I am very sad. I have to go over and get everything they couldn't fit in the moving truck tomorrow. Swing set, beds, lamp, I don't know what all. They need it out of the house before the landlord comes to inspect it for their deposit, and they don’t want it anymore. So I don’t know what I'm going to do with it all. I am dreading going over there, it's going to be so strange going in that empty house.

Worst part is I was home with my sick daughter all day so I didn't even get to say bye except on the phone.

Well now that he is gone, you guys are the only ones that I could vent too.
Thanks for listening; I'm going to go to bed now. Now back to your regularly scheduled forums about Chairs and Grape Nuts.

 

Sorry your friend had to move away It's hard to move away from friends, I've been doing it for the past 23 years, thank God for the internet and email!

 

That sucks bro.

I'm in a somewhat opposite position myself. I have quit my job, today is my last day at work, and will be traveling to MD to ATTEMPT to learn my uncle's restaurant business and eventually take it over. In the mean time I'm leaving behind my family (I'll be back to see them though) my house, my friends, and my Lodge. It sucks just as much moving as it does to have someone else move away. Gotta lookout for the family first though.

 

I feel for ya...never had to do it.


Pony....where in MD? You are crazy for leaving VA to come here...

 

Suck it up Mag! Life goes on!


Seriously, things do change and adjustments are part of life, just seldom welcomed.

 

That sucks man....I hate moving from friends or when they move away from me. I'ts not easy to find GREAT friends.

But don't worry, we're all here for ya

I hear ya man. One of my best friends moved to Mississippi from graduate school. Once he's out; he's probably off to far away lands (Anthropology).
You'll just have to find new friends bucko.

 

Friends come and go. But Us members of f150online are like family. Were always here for ya!

 

Yeah, my best friend moved from Frisco, TX to Freehold, NJ because of his job...

Needless to say; I was not pleased...

Went from a 30 minute ride to their house, to a 4 hour flight, with a plane change in Charlotte. That's not counting the 45 minute - 1 hour car ride to DFW, the 1.5 hour early arrival penalty, the 1-2 hour layover in Charlotte, then the 1 hour ride from LaGuardia (Because it's $200 cheaper than flying into Newark or Philly) Making a 4 hour flight, turn into a 10-hour ordeal.

 

I know I'm crazy. Giving up my CCW.

BTW I'll be in Calvert County

 

Yea I know I'm just being a baby about it, but it still sucks.
I've had friends go off to college then move to persue carreers, I've got several other friends still, lots of aquiantences. But non that I am this close too. Both him and his wife were the only ones that both my wife and I could open up too. Everyone else we have to watch what we say to some extent. When it was just us 4 or any combintation then we all were able to share everything. They were also the only ones that everyone in both families got along. Thier kids were about the same ages as both of mine and they all played well together hung out at school together etc etc. We were closer to them than most of our own family. This might sound bad but I didn't feel this bad when my brother moved when he joined the Marines. But he was planning on coming back so it wasn't as final.

We have unlimited long distance anywhere in the US on our home phone, we have cell phones, e-mail, and messengers so we'll stay in contact. We are already planing a trip down there soon as thier baby is born in July. But it's just not the same as being able to jump in the truck and drive across town to help them with this or that. Or pick up the phone and say hey are you busy, I need some help with this or that.

I thought maybe I'd be better today....

 

I feel ya man.

I just had a friend move to Florida and thats well over 8 hours from Indy. We were both sick minded and had a very unusuall sense of humor. But it is what it is and growth is part of life.

 

I've moved all over the country 7 times since 1972. It does suck to leave good friends and to have good friends move away. We don't have to like it but it's a part of life we must cope with. Wait until your daughter moves away. It won't be fun. It's even much tougher when you get older and you start burying your friends. Life is short. Make the best of it.

 

We did it for 21 years. Just got use to leaving. New set of orders and off we went. Been living in the same house now for 7 years, starting to get the urge to move again. Hard to stay in one place to long. But in our case, we always did the leaving. Not the same I guess. Had good friends in the military, but just got accustomed to seeing people leave. Just a fact of life.

Feel your pain Mag, hand in there.

 

What are you PSS, brokeback?
