I was in a Big 5 store last weekend, looking at shoes. They had a sale on (imagine that!) and my lady friend needed something warm for her toes. I noticed they had some labelled 'Cross Training' so I asked the young man in that department if I have to cross dress to wear them. The look on his face was priceless, like he was having trouble deciding whether to run or wet his pants. 
Happily, Denise and I share the same twisted humor and often read each others' minds, so we have lots of fun in stores, driving the staff to heavy drinking, and leaving customers rolling on the floor. It's never dull...

I have the same sense of humor and get the same deer in the headlight look quite often.

What really makes me crazy is that it comes so automatically to me and her, without any rehearsal, and I can rarely remember what we said a day later. Some of what we come up with is really outrageous, and should be recorded...

I usually realise I have caused that type of reaction when the wife smacks me around the ear, we RARELY go shopping together. Well I rarely go shopping.

That IS funny, but how can staff not react to that!?
"Well sir, the shoes would certainly come out better!"
"Well sir, if the shoe fits..."
"Well sir, we can surely recommend it for optimal walking pleasure!"
Etc. etc...

And I thought, that's because Chris buy the beers...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

Chris is quite likely pissed off because CAD to AUD is now 1 : 1

Maybe you should pay him a surprise visit to Toronto?
Ravi Bhavnani did that to me once. I was working for CP back then, this guy somehow bypasses security (not surprising, they probably thought a very visible geek/nerd couldn't do much harm), walks right to where I am sitting and says, "Hey Nish, what's up?" - not even saying his name yet, I am somehow supposed to figure out who he is based on his 20 year old profile pic on CP (from when he was still pre-middle-age). Good times though! CG was there that week, so Ravi, CG, Tim D, Smitha and I hung out in and around downtown Toronto.

Sadly, I can never again in my life visit Canadia. I got popped for a DUI 22 years ago, and though the law here requires that records be expunged after 10 years, the US Gestapo doesn't actually do so, and they share the illegally retained information with the Canucks. I've known a number of folks who had the family vacation ruined at the border, turned back by the Red Coats for an ancient and forgotten infraction.

Interesting, I never knew that a past DUI offence would be something that'd affect entry into Canada.

A conviction for just about anything beyond a misdemeanor will make border crossing problematic in much of the world.
Your home country will eventually forgive you and let you out of prison; but border guards have their sense of humor surgically extracted before starting work.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you need more than one day to move, you own too much. Don't unpack the boxes in your new home and throw away all unopened boxes after a year.

Moving the dog is "more or less easy", moving the cat -according to the pic in your profile- I think you can estimate what it means

You better not try it, but you asked which would be best. If you do try it prepare to give up part of your sanity.

Moving my cat was easy, he will not go beyond the electronic fence in the garden. Even if not wearing the collar that prohibits it, he will not move beyond the wire.
If you have a free roaming cat, you'd need to convince it that there is more value in the new home than in the old one. Meat is the answer, ofc

I think your point is valid but maybe not throw out all the boxes that's unopened. You might throw out something with cash value or too much sentimental value. We got this problem in our household, stuff creep. but we have gotten a lot better, before last time we moved I iterated through or storage twice and threw out a lot of stuff and got my wife to throw away a lot. the amount of boxes is now <10.
Atm the two biggest culprits are clothes and toys. So many toys everywhere at home... I put away a large box of them, my son not missing anything and there are still so many...
I also got a closet with old computer components that might be useful one day... Pentium cpus will become hot stuff again in the future right?
