OJ this morning.
Stitchawl: I choose a College 6 hours and 30 minutes away from my parents so that I would have a bit more freedom. They told me I could no further then a 6 hour drive so I pushed the limit. I don't think I was actually worried about seeing them a lot but it was important to me to be as far away as I could be.
And then I made sure they came to visit once a semester. Dad would take me grocery shopping and he would buy booze for me....
Now I am a few thousand miles from my parents. I moved for career reasons and because I am not a huge fan of Southern California but I do wish that I was closer to them.
A more adult forum area would be nice but probably won't happen because it could easily get out of control. I don't think that there is much wrong with recognizing that the board wants to be family friendly and conforming with that.
I moderated a board or two, was even paid. It sucks. Nothing you do is right. You are bound to piss someone off. (shrugs)
