Some might call that jaded.

But that might all depend on the vert degrees.

I haven't checked yet to see if my recorder picked it up, but if it did, I could burn you a DVD copy. Of course, you can watch it now at nbc.com, too.

A dvd copy of it would be much to my liking DR Matth!!! I am sure I have some Jeff Richards to send in return.

I have had three cell phones to date and have not bonded with any of them. I have found none of them comfortable or well-designed. I do not want more features; I want basic features that are easy to use.

PS And my fingers aren't pudgy.

What is this, Word Play Central?

Thanks for the tip, DR JoseSPiano!

This makes no sense! Do you mean "wear" instead of "where?"

Oh Spoo!

Check out this amazing video of some of Jackie Chan’s best stunts

Long before I knew Jackie Chan by name I appreciated his work. He must be the greatest stunt man of all time.

Too much salsa verde perhaps.

In the "I think I'm in the wrong business" department...

I just got a quote for a customer who needs to board a dog, two cats, and two budgies for three days in the UK while she moves from one location to another. The cost to pick up, board, and deliver the pets? $2,100.00 US.

Jeanne · « **Reply #160 on:** May 16, 2008, 12:20:23 PM »

Me, I mean--not Jackie Chan.

CD:
THE SECRET GARDEN

Last night we watch NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. Good movie but it kinda ended all of a sudden. Having read Cormac McCarthy’s THE ROAD I was prepared. Keith was rather shocked.

For tonight:

DVD: THE KITE RUNNER

DVR:
MEDIUM
REAPER
MOONLIGHT

Sing, are you an expert on moving? Should I be talking to you for moving advice?

Or maybe you're only expert on the UK. That wouldn't help me.

In any case, I don't even want to THINK about those things today! No! Nada!

Sometime today my neice Katie and her hubby will be first time parents....and I will be an Uncle, again!

DR Jeanne - my only knowledge and contacts are in the field of corporate executive relocation, I'm afraid.

I'd second the advice other DRs have offered...go with a known, "national" firm. Perhaps get two bids, to compare. They'll usually come out and survey your goods for free.

Those services are very pricey. It was about half the cost for Craig to travel with his pets than to use a service to transport them. It was about the same cost for me to fly to DC & meet Craig than to use a transport service to get he and the dog to Pittsburgh. Of course one there I spent a small fortune house us but I had a great time

CONGRATULATIONS on your impending Uncledom, DR MBarnum!

I think I'd really enjoy having you as an Uncle. If I were a kid, I mean.

Jane · « **Reply #170 on:** May 16, 2008, 12:32:16 PM »

DR Singdaw is the company picking up the expense? Even so, if they were my pets I would want to travel on the same plane with them.

Are you responsible for finding a good kennel, or approving the kennel?

singdaw · « **Reply #171 on:** May 16, 2008, 12:35:48 PM »

DR Jane - yes, the employee's company pays the expenses. And no, our reps on the ground in the UK pick the place. I just relay the information. I'm tempted to volunteer to head over there myself and do it. It'd be a blast, and I'd probably save them money!

I was just researching the symptoms of Restless Legs Syndrome.

I don't think I have it.

That's for sure.

I'm curious, why can't they keep their pets with them right away? In the States you can stay at a Residence Inn with your pets until you can move into your home.

I'm not sure. I did have a search done for temporary accommodation for them, and none of the vendors with furnished short-term inventory would accept pets. And a minimum rental term, if you go that route, was 6 months. In this case, the transferring employee is selling and purchasing within just a couple of days, so they really only needed a few days in order to get their funiture delivered to the new place and then take the animals back. But you're right, a hotel/motel that accepts pets would be the easiest and cheapest way to go.
