I moved 25 YEARS ago, and still haven't unpacked & sorted it all! Good thing, too...there are no flat spaces left. If I took stuff out of boxes, it would have to go on the floor.

SRS...maybe if Mudcat lived in the upstairs...like on a desk with a comfy chair, Max would stop by and chat occasionally....*grin*

Hmm, so many people mention the downside of moving. How about the upside? A new home, a new garden, the chance to paint rooms lovely new colors? Perhaps you are moving to save money and gain peace of mind. Perhaps you will be closer to friends and family...

Whatever the reasons are, good luck and thanks for all you do.

I'm sending a check towards the new expenses.

Chaps...(and chapesses...) the Mudcat is not the whole internet!
And the internet is not the whole of life.

May day is a good day for the move.
The rest of us should be out dancing the sun up (we will, at Holme Fen with Pig Dyke Molly at 5 in the morning) dancing in the streets, singing and celebrating the end of winter. Not sitting at home staring at computer screens.

Max, all the best with your move, and thank you for Mudcat, in case any of the above sounded unappreciative.

And $40 extra per month???? That sounds a lot, given that we were having to have a whip-round for a disk drive lately. I hope you've done your sums and can afford it!

next only to bereavement a house move is the most traumatic thing you can do. We all want Mudcat back a soon as possible, but we want your move and the family to be the priority. I can survive without the 'Cat for a month, er week er well a Bank Holiday Folk Festival maybe - oh hell it will be hell, but we gotta be strong.

Max - $40 a month from one person sounds like a lot -- divided by all passionate Mudcatters it ain't so bad.....my check is (will be) in the mail come Thursday.........I'll do $40 -- if 11 others do $40 we are all set for a year.......

i hope we can pony up for the extra 40 per
it is exciting knowing there is more to look forward to.
let's see how many members do we have?
if everyone put in just a dollar a month
or the equivalent in Euros/pounds, francs, pesos, etc.
that might help this along...that is not $40 total,
but $40 MORE....than it already takes to keep this boat afloat....

thank you MAX, and thank yous, to your family also for
sharing you with us all!!

off to the cellar if we must.....just ask Kendall, it is not so bad....

Happy Trails (Roy Rogers, I guess)

Who cares about the clouds when we'ere together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you,
Until we meet again.
Happy trails to you,
Keep smilin' until then.

******************************************

I'm Moving On (Hank Snow)

That big eight wheeler a rollin' down the track
Means your true lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky, so I'm movin' on.

That big loud whistle as it blew and blew
Said hello to the Southland, we're comin' to you
And we're movin' on, oh, hear my song
You had the laugh on me but I've set you free and I'm movin' on.

--- Instrumental ---

Mister fireman won't you please listen to me
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let this rattle a roll and keep movin' me on.

Mister engineer take that throttle in hand
This rattler's the fastest in the southern land
And keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
You're gonna ease my mind, put me there on time and keep rollin' on.

--- Instrumental ---

I warned you baby from time to time
But you just wouldn't listen or pay me no mind
Now I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You have broken your vow and it's all over now so I'm movin' on.

You switched your engine now I ain't got time
For a triflin' woman on my main line
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
I've warned you twice, now you can settle the price 'cause I'm movin' on.

But some day baby when you've had your play
You're gonna want your daddy but your daddy will say
Keep movin' on, stayed away too long
I'm through with you, too bad you're blue, keep movin' on...

Good old Hank Snow, eh!

Good luck Max! Happy Trails!

Peace, Mooh.

Hi Max

Once again I'd like to say thanks very much for providing such a valuable resource to us. I wish you luck in your move and I'll send some funds for the Mudcat as soon as I get a little to spare. I'd also like to thank all those that beaver away in the background to make the Mudcat the special place that it is, guys like Joe Offer and the Mud Elves do such a great job. Thanks very much to you all.

It's times like these that we should realize that Mudcat is not to be taken for granted. It's still here because Max cares enough to put up with us. Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad!

I wonder if Joe Opper and the other moderators that keep this website going are aware of Max's plan. Maybe we should PM them so they're not surprised.

Cheerily,
