So long guys.... Thanks for everything.

<p>I’ve been on CC for about two years (the 700++ posts are the tip of the iceberg hidden in the old forum). We got some great information here and my son wound up with a successful college admissions process that landed him in just the right program. Many, many people gave us advice and I’m thankful to all. Now it’ll be empty nest time in September.</p>

<p>I just got a new job that is consuming most every waking minute of my life and there is so much other “stuff” going on that I can only rarely even take a glance at CC, much less keep up with any of the new threads and posts.</p>

<p>So… just wanted to thank everyone and say that if you want to communicate with me, send a PM and I’ll get an email notice of that.</p>

<p>I wish I could have met some of you in person. This is a most interesting group of people.</p>

<p>Dig, you’ll certainly be missed, especially by some of us students and most of the parents around here. Drop by sometime, in between waking minute number 364 and waking minute number 365. ;)… Best of luck and my best wishes to you and your S… it’s becoming a smaller and smaller CC every day… =(… </p>

<p>Yours truly,</p>

<p>Andrew</p>

<p>Thanks Dig, its been great reading your posts. You will be missed.</p>

4

<p>Bye, dig. I’m dreaming of your high country right now, and the twisty roads to get there;). Take some time to enjoy yourself and take care.</p>

5

<p>Dig,</p>

<p>I am going to miss your posts. I wish you and son well in your future endeavors. Like Andrew said, if you have a free moment drop into sinners alley .</p>

<p>Digi…I’ll miss you as well. You were a valuable poster and I enjoyed all of your input. I understand your leaving but hope once in a great while you drop by with an update. I am excited for your son because he truly did find the perfect place for what he wants to do. I remember back to when his search had begun and look at the point you are at now! </p>

<p>Take care and thanks for the memories. </p>

<p>Enjoyed your posts a lot…thanks for sharing with us.</p>

<p>Hurray for new “obsessions” (particularly the kind that pay real money!) and new adventures…good luck to you and don’t forget you are/will be “honored alum” … </p>

<p>I suspect most of us will sooner or later move on past the fascination of the college search process (for our own kids and for the kids for whom we develop such fondness here on CC)…but in the meantime, you in particular and CC in general have made this phase of the life journey more interesting and less “traumatic.” </p>

<p>Good luck and cyberhugs to you & yours…</p>

<p>Good luck, Dig - always enjoyed your posts - you always seemed to be saying what I was thinking…we’re in the same soon-to-be-empty-nest position as you - just not quite ready to cut the CC umbilical cord yet! Wishing you and yours all the best…</p>

<p>Good luck and best wishes to you and your new son in your new ventures and adventures!</p>

<p>Best of luck to you and your family!</p>

<p>Diggi:</p>

<p>Best of luck in your new job, new life, and best of luck to your wonderful-sounding son. Maybe you’ll update us once in a while as OSU is not as often mentioned on CC as it should be.</p>

13

<p>Best wishes in the new job…I hope the “all consuming” aspect of it helps to fill the void when your son does fly from the nest…CC has been a tremendous resource for many of us…because of the collection of voices here…I agree that it would be great to meet some of the folks, who knows, perhaps some of our paths crossed at tour sessions on campus and we will never know that we have met…it is also perfect to never meet and have our own images of who the different posters are that made strong impressions with their info, their stories or their tremendous humor. The web has been an invaluable resource for all of us and I appreciate all of the threads you created and served up as food for thought for the masses. Thanks…</p>

<p>Dig,</p>

<p>I admire your moving forward with creativity into the world of the empty nest. Best wishes to you and your family! You will be missed!</p>

15

<p>Dig, best wishes. I’ve come to the CC crowd fairly recently, but really enjoyed reading your posts.</p>

16

<p>Dig,</p>

<p>I might be a lurker, but I enjoyed your posts, too. Good luck!</p>

17

<p>Dig - You were one of the ones on my “must read” any time I saw your screen name pop up. You offered so much to us parents and to the students. We will miss you. I, especially, will miss the fun/mischievous/clever dig. How will the party thread go on without you (I have secret plans to resurrect it)?</p>

<p>

uhhh. OSU? A true Athensite (?) would be crying. THE Ohio University, if you please. Way down in Athens county, that’s where I been… OSU is a whole lot of ugly, while OU is downright lovely!</p>

19

<p>Aw, Digi. I understand that life calls. But having you around here has been grand. I hope to see you via e-mail and/or PM now and then.</p>

<p>Digi,
You probably won’t remember this, but you were the first person to mention Digipen to me a couple of years ago. My son wants to be a video game designer and the information you gave me started our college search in the right direction. While he’s not going to go there, it was a good fork in the road away from the computer science programs that we had been looking at. Thanks!</p>
