Are you moving yourself or hiring movers?

I'm taking a lot of stuff myself (I don't have to be out of the apartment until the 30th).

And for the big stuff I will be "hiring" my dad to come down with a flat-bed trailer.

I want to get out of the Apartment ASAP because I want to use as little electricity and utilities over there as I can.

Ah, the "fun" of moving.....

Never again for me. Never again.

We moved four times in a four year period. I hope & pray I'll never have to move again, but I'm just a leaf on the wind.

I will have to be dirt poor before I'll move myself. Hiring movers is some of the best money I've ever spent.

We did the same thing. Four times in four years. We went from apartment to apartment to apartment....

I'll never move or help move anyone ever again. :-D

in mine i've got all my comics, DVDs, my computer, PS2, Wii, old-school NES, stereo, nerd posters and sports pennants, and a mini-fridge in there. all i need is a bigger flat-screen and i probably would never leave.

Jeez dude, the man room is cool and all but doesn't your wife let you have anything outside of a small fraction of the house? I can understand limiting the nerd posters and sports pennants but gaming systems, comics, dvds, and all that stuff belong all over the house.

If I want to watch the Braves game or a movie I'm not gonna go to my room like I'm in trouble or something.

Dude, trust me, getting just one room where you can be a man without the constant harping is a miracle in itself. That door becomes a mental/emotional barrier to the world of nagging wives and crying kids.

My wife guilted me into converting my man room into a nursery. :cry:

We moved four times in a year (1st March 2005 - 1st March 2006), two of which were International.

Then I converted my entire basement into my own man room. :-D

Don't you have a dedicated comic room, though? I want one of those...

I get what your saying, it's nice to be able to shut a door and say leave me alone, but it just seems like a man room is a way of giving up the rest of the house. I think the best possible solution is the man basement.

Yeah, this guy knows what's up.

as a collector/fanboy I just have more stuff than her and I'm not boxing it up.

so what if my 5 year old neice from Taiwan asks why I've got a lot of toys for a man? so wHAT!?!?

Sounds like someone needs a good spank.
