Mr. Silver-

Glad to see we didn't scare you off

I, for one, consider you a valued and welcome member!

TJs has some of the best items at fantastic prices.

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....

They really are pretty good on food too...Whole Foods stretches my budget - TJ's doesn't

More $$ for bike stuff

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!

**KSH** · 01-15-2007, 06:52 PM

Mr. Silver... you are welcome here!

Plus, we love nagging ya about what you are eating...

Keep coming back... it's works if you work it!

Hey! I thought there was going to be coffee and pie here.

SK wanders off sadly looking at her empty hard cider bottle.

Ooops sorry for the thread drift.

They're serving pie in the other thread. We're drinking two buck chuck here.

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!

(Actually he keeps me young...)

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

ahem....you know....for the most part....they already don't have eating and laundry service as it is now.

(we've taught the kids to fend for themselves early)

Same here, but when my son comes home at dinner time, it's impossible for me to say "sorry, no food for you" because I always cook extra.

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!

Hmmmm....I think it's more like it's pretty good and very cheap. It could hold its own against $10-15 bottles, but not against some of the higher end stuff IMO.
