My best friend in England, Paul, whom I've known for 44 years has had the same job for about 20 years and lived in the same place for just as long. He's had one proper holiday in that time. He seems happy.
Each to their own.
Actually, he's being forced to move house in January and is devastated. :(
That's very hard for some..

I've lived in my present house for 17 years. This is a record. Previous longest was living with parents in a house in North Yorkshire for 7 years until I went to university. This is my 13th home in 53 years. I managed to attend 5 different primary schools before the age of 11 due to my parents travels. I'm something of a nomad (but nothing like Adam I suspect)

My Dad worked for the same employer from when he left school at 17 until he retired at 65. He had to change location to get promotion though, so we moved the length of the country more than once.

If JoesDad gets a new job somewhere else that requires a move, I'll happily pack up and move. We have no family here and the children are starting their own lives.

Good morning Adam


Seven Brides for Seven Brothers comes to mind. Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Ephraim (had to look him up), Frank and Gideon :)

I must pop out to resolve the coffee crisis shortly. We've run out :eek: (JoesDad took the spare jar to work without telling me)
:eek:
That is serious !
I'm on my second mug so far.
Get some for the Cold Dark Room as well, please. :)
We're running low.

My mom moved us A LOT as kids and I'm ex military, so moving doesn't bother me like it bothers my family. They get cross eyed when you mention moving

It's easier with no ties.
Now, I've lived here for 11 years, tied down with wifey and now Tidgy, easily a record for me, but I'm happy. :)
Must've done about fifty jobs and lived in half that number of places.

Somebody's been asking for rain if I remember correctly o_O
Good afternoon Lena, hope you're all well. :D

Correct: prayers for rain took place last Friday, and it finally POURED with rain last night. We need it here, particularly with the population INCREASING as well as the refugees who have fled from their homeland after the uprisings in the region. Moreover, this country is a "desert."
