Participant[quote=Jim Jones]Has anyone considered what percentage of these moves may be due to relocation’s by military personnel?
I know there has been some expansion of the capacity at Naval Base San Diego.[/quote]
If it’s a reassignment to a new base – doesn’t the military do a pack-out and move? I have a number of military family friends – they’ve all been provided with moving services when they were restationed… NOT U-Haul.
I agree with the previous post about U-Haul users trending younger/broker. But I’ve also helped friends with U-Haul moves who were in their 40’s and up – but didn’t want to spend the extra thousands for a professional move. If it’s not being paid for by an employer – it’s hard to justify the order of magnitude in expense.

ParticipantI doubt it.
Since it CV – I assume it’s at least 1990’s construction or newer. There may be some minor cracks in stucco – but nothing structural. Building codes did a major overhaul for earthquakes in the 70’s and 80’s – lots more diagonal bracing, addressing seismic load of brick fireplaces, etc…UCGal

Participant[quote=flu]Speaking of kids, sort of hijack. I have a question for parents. Maybe it’s just me, I notice one difference between girls and boys growing up.
See, what I’m seeing is that if boys don’t like each other, they get kinda physical and start pushing each other around or hitting each other. When girls (inclusive of my kid) don’t like each other, they start saying stuff like “I’m not going to be your friend/we’re not going to talk to you.”… Is that consistent with what other parents see?
Second, whenever boys starts pushing my daughter around, she always asks tell me “XYZ pushed me around”. My response has been, “tell me when you get home….Tell him stop. If that doesn’t work, yell at him to stop…If that doesn’t work and you’re bigger than him, push him back. If you’re smaller than him, and he doesn’t stop go find a teacher.” Anything wrong with that? I understand girls might be wired differently, but certainly don’t want my kid growing up with a wussie mentality.[/quote]
It’s consistent with what I see.
Reminds me of an old Seinfeld episode. George and Jerry are remembering a bully from school – they ask Elaine if she ever dealt with bullies… she replies that girls didn’t act that way – if they didn’t like another girl they’d harrass them till they developed an eating disorder.
It was funny because it rang true.
