    Default Storage Units

    The new male wants me to throw out most of my stuff cause I "have too much". Umm... no. Anyone have/had a storage unit? Are they expensive? Any tales to tell that might help me?

    I used PODS and it was a great experience. That and this awesome thing called Podzilla picks it up and drops it off. I fit an entire condo (dining room set, living room set, bedroom set, a bazillion boxes) in it, no problem.

    I had a storage unit in the burbs of chicago. I'm sure rates generally vary based on your area/popluation etc. I had the smallest unit, 5'x10' and I paid about $85/month. It was indoor and climate-controlled, with really good security. Very clean. for it being so small, I was actually able to put a LOT of crap into it. I just piled boxes really high. However, when I realized how much money I was wasting over the course of a year, I pulled it all out after a year, cancelled my contract and decided it was time to let go of some of it. My thoughts were, if I didn't need any of this stuff for a whole year, I probably didn't need it at all.

    but, pods can be picked up and moved to where you want them. no unloading/reloading.

    Ugh I hate males right now. OR at least just my own. I found a close by place for like... $70 a month. Jeez. He really just cannot comprehend saving things that mean something. At all.

    What?! OMG. What happened?? Don't get rid of your stuff in that case ... you'll need to pick up and move either way, so don't get rid of anything just yet.

    You could end up really regretting getting rid of some things in the midst of this.

    Paige, good luck, and I'm so sorry it's happening like this.

    I've had alot of luck just cruising aaround finding older barns that aren't with horses, or maybe a few. I dated a cow farmer, asshole broke my heart....ANYWay>>>doubt they'll turn you away for letting you use a 12x12 area, if it's sentimental, take it with you!Im not familar w/ your area, post one of the free ads on craigslist. Some storage places offer first free, so you can at least get in there.

    My biggest issue with moving was my pitbull, the rest i set on back burner, but eventually after my father died, so much other stuff hit, was homeless, so i had her euthanized but a place for my children and not worrying if some asshole would treat like shit was priority. ok, gee i just brightened up my night thinking about that, god.

    anyway...I got to back to organizing a memorial fundraising bike ride for my dad, so if any of you peeps are in Massachusetts, Pm me for more info!

    Have a great night!

    Geez, no wonder guys get a bad rap, and women become disgruntled. Him for doing this, you for accepting it.

    Just because he's paying the bills doesn't mean he can treat you subserviently. Some ground rules, sure, but a slave?



    Also, long term storage of electronic devices is not good.

    My ex had a LOT of shit! He got a storage unit that was I think around $40 a month. You have to be careful though because he forgot to pay it and they kept all his crap and it was gone.

    and oh, shit, I just read the douche broke up with you. WTF? Boys are tards. Maybe you should rent a storage unit and put him in it.

    I'm a damned mess. He's in the next room and all I can think about is marching in there and kissing him hard.
