I hope the statute of limitations is up… oh well.
I have told this story to strangers before, figuring that degrees of seperation and time are substantial enough to make the person’s identitification implausible, if not downright impossible. This is obviously a bit different though! Regardless, it has been at least ten years so…
First you must know what I have done for a living for the last 25 years: I am a mover. Now, my company would prefer that I call myself a “relocation specialist” I’m sure, and even though you now have two definitions some people are still scratching their heads, so let’s put a fine point on it: I’m the guy who shows up with a semi truck and loads everything you own and takes you to your new home.
I often warn my customers that after 25 years in the business, and after having moved hundreds of people from every corner of this Country, that I will know everything about them by the time the piano is on the truck, and sometimes before I even say hello.
The story, which I will change slightly

An engaging article. Thank you for posting it.
I can relate because most of my life I have been one of their (relocation specialists) customers every four years or so.
I pray that U.S. Citizens take the time to research and gain such perspectives about the party provided selections for our representation... and opt for someone better.
Thanks. Another point is that debates are meaningless for the most part. What a person does is a much better barometer for what they will do in the future than what they say on a stage. Reagan spent years, decades maybe, preaching about limited government. The chances of him converting into a RINO were nil. Compare him to Romney et al. Sarah doesn’t have Reagan’s length of time at the podium, but I trust her as much or more because of her remarkable accomplishments as governor. America can rest easy if she is at the helm. I don’t know how we sleep with a Marxist in charge with has his finger on the button..
Silly me; I thought you were talking about an actual Pella window:

One of those “relocation specialists” came into my house after I’d been there 5 years and quipped, “You’ve always had corporate moves, haven’t you?”
I did have a lot of stuff, but I also had a lot of children. And that guy didn’t even know what I’d already thrown/given away before he showed up!
I’ve been here over 25 years, and he should see the place now!
Smart a$$!
In this vein, the moment that made Mrs. Palin particularly exceptional to me was when that moronic reporter rented the house next to the Palin’s. She had strapped Trig into the baby carrier and was getting ready to mow her backyard when she saw the reporter on the deck overlooking her yard.
How many ex-governors mow their own yards?
How many women in her position carry their kids around on their back?
Besides all her wonderful qualities, it is the personality that makes her your ‘neighbor’ next door that brings out the best in people - and the worst in liberal elites!
I’d be tempted to call B.S. on this. Outside of a cost of living allowance that varies from location to location, military personnel do not receive more pay based on who they work for (says one who spent three years working for NSA at Fort Meade).
In an earlier life I did house calls. Hundreds of homes. Yes, you know much more about people when you see their "nest" than from just meeting them on the street. Only one house in all those year was I unable to enter. To this day, I remember the smell.
One of my husband’s squadron mates, a fellow AF captain, caused a lot of heartburn with the DIA while getting his clearance because it appeared that he was living beyond his means. It turned out that he was the sole male heir to the California Gas and Bekins Moving companies.
Obama wouldn’t know how to start the mower, put it in gear, or engage the blades. Are their decent men who can’t change a tire? Nope. They can’t relate to the real world, therefore they can’t commiserate with real people... IMHO.
I could tell you why he lived there, but it’s more information than I care to submit. Your questions are legitimate, but only because you don’t have the whole story.
My worst experiences involve military moves, but never above an E5 or E6. I could tell you stories that would curl your toes. I’m amazed that this state of affairs hasn’t made the nightly news at some point. I have literally had to lay paper pads in front of me to cover cat shite as I walked down the HALL... the apartment was worse. They had to pay me $500 extra to do it, and I was the 3rd driver, the other 2 turned it down. We shrink-wrapped EVERYTHING that wasn’t in a box. They had an 8 year old daughter...
Great (and telling) anecdote. Thanks for giving another insight into the reality that is Sarah Palin. With her "keepin' it real" isn't just a motto, it's a way of life.
Huh???
He's Governor of New Jersey.
He's already in hell.
I don’t have emotions, negative or otherwise, for libs. I assume that they are brainless and not worthy of the energy expenditure. But RINOs, people who are ostensibly on my side when the armies line up, shall incur my wrath when they deign to throw patriots under the bus. Gump.. “And that’s all I have to say about that.”
