Daughters best friend since middle school and college roommate did it right out of LSU. Marketing major . Had a really good internship between Jr and sr years with Google. Still there and happy 10 years later. From a town so small it doesn’t even have a post office.

When my kids were small we spent every Christmas Eve at a huge family get together at my mom and dad’s. 45-50 brothers/sisters/cousins etc. Usually stretched out to 11pm or later. Then home with Santa gifts to assemble. Hyped up kids usually weren’t ready to go to sleep. We’d tell
Them that if they were awake when Santa landed on the roof he would just leave. The 150 year old house we live in had a tin roof at that time. I’d give them about a half an hour to settle down then go to the back of the house and toss a basketball up on the roof. They thought it was Santa landing. The wife and I were up usually until 3 or 4 finishing up. They were up at 5 or 6. Even factoring in the hangover I miss those mornings like fire.

Aging worse than Brittney Spears..

Which is actually pretty cool.

I have an uncle that lost his at a shell station one night.

All I got

You could probably fill an ocean with what he doesn’t know but thinks he does.

Thanks for the info!

Rolling back around to this … my kids range from 28 to 34 years old and though none of them chose to move back here after college they STILL refer to this little town as home. Sorry for the name calling in my original reply, but I felt like you were being overly judgmental about the choice some folks make to make their home and raise their kids in the town they grew up in. My wife and I could have lived very good lives and been payed very well anywhere in the country after we married. We thought long and hard about leaving the state. But we made the decision to raise our children in the place we grew up in and have never regretted it. They missed out on nothing they wanted to try. We made sure of that. But they also grew up with and among friends and family. They hunted with cousins and uncles, did high school sports with friends and family, made amazing memories that they wouldn’t have had otherwise . The wife and I could Still live and work or retire anywhere we wanted to. We CHOOSE to base ourselves here.
