It saddens me in this day and age that unfortunately such racial intolerance and bigotry still exists. It is pure ignorance. I look forward to the day when we are united by our common humanity rather than judged on gender, religion, race, disability and sexuality.</p> <p>I hope that the process of moving is as painless as possible. And I hope that you can look forward to living in an area free of this prejudice and have a peaceful family life. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3424#post-34229 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:21:50 +0000 Bobby 34229@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Awww, Lee, I was unaware you had to cope with so many morons. I am so sorry, and I feel especially bad for the children. Prejudice is one of my pet peeves (does that make me prejudiced against prejudiced people?) </p> <p>Focus on the life you have, filled with love and the laughter of children. Yours will only improve; their mean-spirited lives, on the other hand, appear bleak. </p> <p>As for the move: buddy, I feel your pain. The Navy moved us (myself, two children) five times in one year. I gave my kids some crayons and markers and let them decorate the boxes with pictures instead of labeling. It gave them something creative to do, let them feel a part of the activity and reminded me to smile throughout the entire aggravating process. Just a thought .. might make your move easier, too. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3424#post-34153 Tue, 10 Jun 2008 04:42:49 +0000 Lee 34153@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>In my 39 years this will be my 16th time.</p> <p>The current place I am at is the worst.</p> <p>As for a root canal, never had one, as for hiring pros done that, I will be paying the other £150 today as the a.t.m. only allows £300 per day and so it's going to cost £450.</p> <p>Suzie is the drinker, so she can hand out her bottles of Vodka.</p> <p>Aquarium, is a good one, when we moved to Leybourne 5 years ago, I released my two goldfish and 1 small catfish into Crystal Palace bowl pond, hopefully they're all alive and swimming with all the other goldfish others have released.</p> <p>The journey would have been too much for them.</p> <p>I miss them still as we had them for 5 years previous.</p> <p>Thanks for the rest of the tips team.</p> <p>See you all in 3 weeks or so, need a new isp also as my current cannot offer me a service, due to a local covenant by some church that bans satellite dishes on homes and my isp is also my satellite provider and only bskyb customers (also known as sky tv)so to have them as your isp you must also subscribe to their tv services.</p> <p>I might be going back to AOL or maybe use BT.</p> <p>O.K. thanks for your support, it's been a traumatic 3 years living at my current address, was not just the damp, but the things chucked at our home, racist remarks, litter chucked on our garden, constant comments at my children by morons.</p> <p>All because my fiance is afro caribbean, my children our classed as mixed, however she is a born-n-bred cockney like me, though that didn't matter to the bigots. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3424#post-34072 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 18:42:24 +0000 delenn13 34072@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Good luck, Lee.

Glad to hear this has worked out for you. I hope everything continues to get better and better. We'll miss you. Happy moving! (Copmom gave you great advice. We helped friends move last year and thay had marked the boxes that way and it made it so much easier for us to help.) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3424#post-33972 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 13:18:59 +0000 copmom 33972@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Lee.. glad this came through for you. Everytime a door closes a better one opens.<br /> One tip in moving, best to label the boxes with the rooms they came "from"...as you know where most things are in that room. Makes it easier to unpack. Like: bathroom, kitchen, etc. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3424#post-33950 Mon, 09 Jun 2008 10:53:49 +0000 GSM 33950@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>best of luck in the relocation Lee.

I don't write too often, I am usually reading threads and answering my messages and working.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any thoughts I received. </p>
