Yes, yes they do. This is not good for my productivity - but the desert wine is yummy (2005 muscato for $5.99) and the *ahem* two buck chuck Shiraz ($2.99) ain't bad either.... Originally Posted by Bikingmomof3

Just tell me one thing all you wise people, at which age of child do you become empty nesters? when they turn 21...or... when they actually leave home...
I hate to tell you this, but one of my sons has been back once, and the other has been back twice, and he's here now and he's 28!
Don't you be bragging about empty nesting until it's a done deal!

Sigh, I don't think I'll ever be an empty-nester. Two down (21 and 23) and one to go, but aaack, he's only 9. What was I thinking having another baby at 37! Originally Posted by mimitabby

Well Mimi, for me, it will be when they go off to college. However, if they come back, the determination will rest on how much rent they pay and whether they have eating and laundry service or not Originally Posted by mimitabby

Mimi, the trick is to move house as soon as the last one leaves - and don't leave a forwarding address! They can't come back if they can't find you! Originally Posted by mimitabby

Now for anybody who doesn't know, the Hilly Hundred takes TWO DAYS. (I didn't do it one year because I didn't know that.) It is *do-able.* Not easy, but *do-able.*
(Start early, though. It gets CROWDED. And please, practice going up hills without suddenly bailing!)
