Some random musings about moving TM out of the dorm Saturday.

[Midlodemocrat]

1. If you need to rent a UHaul to put on the back of the Suburban, your kid has too much stuff. Jettison half of it on the highway on the trip back home. You'll thank me in September.

2. Hotel type trolleys are designed to be filled up. They are not designed to hold three items so that you, yeah, I'm talking to you there red haired Afro dude with the Grover Tee-shirt, can keep it for the better part of an hour while you make six trips.

Oh, and yeah. Sorry I called you a douchebag under my breath and Mommykins heard it. That was unfortunate. She really needs to learn more about personal space.

3. Just because you CAN buy the big ass SUV doesn't mean you should. Especially if you can't drive the fucker or park it any better so that when I am attempting to leave it's like threading a friggin' needle to get out of my space. Think Global. Go smaller.

4. I seriously wonder, present company excluded of course, how some of these knuckle dragging, tobacco chewing, parents ever managed to conceive a child who has an IQ in double digits. It was sad.

That's all.

1. Mind your stress, Midlo. Think of the indigo quints.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. You should have thought about that when you declined to help me, Saturday.

:eyes:

5. I don't recall the request.

Cuz yeah, I'd hate to have been around college chicks all weekend. :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

6. I know. Sorry.

I know how much you would hate that. DS1 declined as well. SOmething about Mother's Day. :eyes: What a wuss.

3. A U-Haul? Seriously?

How in the world is a dorm room big enough for one of the occupants to need a U-Haul?

[Midlodemocrat]

4. My sentiments exactly.

[no name no slogan]

7. By my senior year ('90-'91), I knew a few kids who needed U-Hauls

but not too many of them. I lived in a house by then, and I still got all my crap moved in two carloads, including my bed. And I had a lot of stuff.

Kids have way too much crap these days.

12. compared to what we old boomers had in our miniscule and spartan dorms...

8. Dorm apartments.

We had these on campus..You have bedroom, common living area and kitchen. I can see some people needing Uhauls for those type places.

[Fleshdancer]

14. I can understand this for apartments

but for the standard freshman dorm room, I don't see how it's possible to shove in that much stuff.

[TZ]

20. Considering all the gadgets kids bring with them

I'm not surprised..Refridge, microwave, computer, stereo, tv...etc....

9. Midlo, honey, you should have asked me

You need one of these:

They're about $50-60 and even if it sits in your garage the rest of the year, it is a lifesaver on dorm moving day.

10. Did TM hide her paraphernalia before you got there?

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

15. No. And, neither did her roommate.

I hate kids.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

16. Aww...you raised a little Indigo stoner

[Midlodemocrat]

21. She's partial to watermelon vodka apparently.

Gah. I'd rather be ganked.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

23. It could be worse, my sister used to drink green apple vodka and malibu exclusively

:puke:

[sasquatch]

24. How is that any better than your MD 20/20?

:P

[TZ]

25. What? She hasn't discovered grain alcohol and kool-aid yet?

Elitist freeper wanna be just like her mother...:hide:

[sasquatch]

17. LOL! She's a chip off the old block if you ask me

:rofl:

[tigereye]

11. way to send it, Midlo

:thumbsup:

How can your kid be done with a year of college already? (or is it 2?) Yikes. :wow:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. One.

She's out now trying to find a job. Driving my van, TYVM because her car is getting new brakes and tires. :eyes:

[DS1]

18. U-Haul?

Back when I was in school I had to build my house out of sticks every night. Then come back from 10 hours of classes and find that a tornado had gone through the camp again.

[Midlodemocrat]

19. Attached to a Suburban. You cannot make this up.

The rooms in this dorm are pretty large, but not that large.

[DS1]

22. Well, hopefully Douchebag Family Robinson took a cliff turn too fast

had the U-Haul swing out from behind them and fling them off the side backwards.
