Matt1: Hello Louise!
Mike in DC: Yes, Matt. TYSM
Louise: Well hello gang! Lots of folks here early.
marcycloud: I’ll be running off again in a few. Just wanted to say Hi!
Mike in DC: Hi Louise.
Rush2: Well…we’ve been scammed by a moving broker for a bit iof cash, but aside from that, life is great!
mda19083: great turnout tonight
Matt1: Thnx for stopping in MC!
Louise: Sounds bad Rush
Rush2: Yes…this many at the radio show is wonderful!
Mike in DC: ooof…are you still “in transit” Rush?
Rush2: Not fun, I agree.
Matt1: Ugh, sorry Rush
Rush2: Yes, Mike…we will be moving.
Louise: Nice company while I eat my salad
Rush2: Just beware, everyone!
Rush2: Do more homework than I did.
Rush2: I guess I am a bit too trusting.
mda19083: sorry to hear rush
Mike in DC: caveat emptor…sorry to hear, Rush.
marcycloud: whats a moving broker?
sarabell2: Happens to us all, Rush. Sorry
Rush2: Well, you guys make life’s bumps less bad, to say the least!
Rush2: Still recovering from the trip!
sarabell2: Our consumer guru here in Atlanta said none of them are good.
Rush2: The guru is right!
Rush2: There gores a bunch of our COVID money!
Louise: We’ve had some good movers but they cost more if they are insured.
Rush2: “Easy come…easy blow!”
sarabell2: We always looked like the Beverly Hillbillies moving
Matt1: Our mover went to grade school with our Realtor and still friends, so..
Mike in DC: My moves involved friends, a U-Haul and beer…but I don’t know if that would work at my age now
Rush2: Well, I weas on the phone with a legitimate mover who was supposedly the one that the broker was sending me to, and they might just get our business afterall!
Mike in DC: Hopefully there will be a happy ending, Rush
Rush2: Yes, Matt! I wish our move could be done similarly!
Louise: Moving is so stressful so the additional stress sounds tough, Rush
Rush2: But 2,000 miles of pizza and beer would be unsustainable!
Matt1: I wish you luck…..Not the added stress needed during an upcoming move
Matt1: CC words of wisdom!
Rush2: Thank you….but, let’s let Mr. Can brighten our evening! Enough dark clouds!
Rush2: Chan
Louise: Chan Can!
Matt1: THE END
