I lived here from just before age 1 to age almost 5. It was 219 St. Clair St. in Mooresville. At age five we moved next door to the bigger house you can partially see on the right side of the picture.

Time to get up and make the Dolly Parton coconut cake.

I'll try it this way.

HA!
I guess someone lost a shutter - or found three. And barbecue grill on the front porch is a nice touch.

After the second house, we lived in the country for awhile....and then even further in the country for awhile....and then moved back to Mooresville.....

I was in 3 homes before I moved out, although the first was just the first few months of my infancy. Then we moved to a house where we lived until I was 9 and then the house where my mom still lives.

At 20 I moved into a friends home and shared space with them and at 29 I moved to an apartment with Vixdad and 5 years later we bought the house where we now live

As for High Spirits, I always like a Hugh Martin score. Make a Wish is a personal favorite.

TOD:

From my birth to the age of 21, I lived in 5 different houses, 3 apartments and in four dormitories.

On my own, I have lived in 7 barracks, 8 apartments, onboard two ships, and in two houses, including the one I now live in.

I was very sorry to learn about DR William Orr's loss.

I am enjoying the NEW BOOK very much. I hope to finish it today or tomorrow. I already have the title for my review.

That's a plethora of abodes DR RON PULLIAM.

Good morning, all.

DR TCB - that money comes out of the check that we were paid at the end of the ordeal.....so instead of the full selling price, all of that was deducted -- which I guess is SOP....

Continued vibes for DR ELMORE's closing and for a better rest of the day.

It's Denny Clark of Johnston. Any chance he's your cousin?

Here we are in the three-day holiday weekend, and this already feels like my third Saturday due to the housemates having had some time off in the past two days. They were thrilled to have made it a five-day weekend, but the funny thing is how their doing so made me feel the same way, as though it's also a five-day weekend for me.

Yes.

The on-my-own part is what surprises me. I wouldn't have the energy to do any of it again. The last move was the most intense, moving from Oakland to SC. I packed myself out over two months, but it just about knocked me for a loop.

After much frustration with this computer today, Access-a-Ride was about 15 minutes late, but the driver was wonderful. I picked up my meds, and got my hair cut. The walk from the barber was brief, and I'm rather happy with all. It's the computer that's working my last nerve.

ChasSmith · « **Reply #55 on:** July 02, 2022, 08:17:34 AM »

Okay, let's see how this adds up. From when I was born:

Four apartments and one rented house in Columbus, then my parents' first owned house in the then-new suburb of Whitehall which we were in for about five years. Then we moved closer into town, in Bexley, for one year before making the decision to move to Florida. In Fort Lauderdale we lived in a motel for a month, then two rented houses, and then the house they bought there. They were in that house for close to seven years when they moved back to Ohio, and that was my last place living "at home".

I lived in the dorm one year, then four other places in Cleveland before moving to L.A. Out there I lived in five apartments, then on a job transfer I lived in one apartment in Schaumburg, IL, then back to L.A. and my condo in West Hollywood for three years before being transferred here. In Danbury I lived in a rented townhouse, a small house, a guest cottage, and finally my own house.

TOTAL, with family: 11.
TOTAL, on my own: 13.

These counts include short-lived temporary places, such as the weekly-rental apartment behind the Chinese Theatre before finding the one we wanted a few blocks away. And the friends' boat I lived on for several months. I should probably count it all again to be sure, but like Lili von Shtupp, I'm tired - if not for the same reasons.

When I was born, my parents were living wth my mother's parents, unmarried sister, and two brothers still in high school at 711 Tenth Avenue, so I lived there until around the age of three, when my mother, who did not get along with my grandmother, pressured my dad to move into the house he had built at 3003 Goldman Avenue and which he intended to sell at a nice profit. I lived there until I was seventeen (1964) when I went off to college and lived in Oxford Ohio at various addresses until 1971, when I moved to Carlisle, PA, for a disastrous year. I moved back to 3003 Goldman in August 1972 and stayed there until June 1979, when I moved to NYC.

My first apartment was a great space at 201 West 94th Street, wshich I moved into on Dec. 1, 1979, but the place was haunted and rather frightening when I was there alone, the super was never sober and could do nothing, and the landlord was a real mess. On July 15, 1980, I moved into the home for the past 42 years, 202 West 82nd Street.

I believe your 42 years there has us all beat, DR Elmore.

Seriously, are there any challengers? Speak up!

I believe I have most of the addresses, most of the phone numbers, and at least some kind of picture of each place, however poor it may be. There's one house in 1961 I'm particularly sad NOT to have a picture of. For a couple of them, all I'd have is a recent Google image.

Well, I must get on with my day.

I smell bacon cooking. After we eat, Kristi and I are cleaning up the back deck and grill and the tables and chairs there. We are VERY late in doing it properly this year -- life has been craziness -- but by this evening it will look like someone lives in the jernt.
