So long guys.... Thanks for everything.

<p>Digi -
best wishes for you and your son! I will be working with a young friend of the family on her college search … OU is on her list so I will be thinking about you often!</p>

<p>Dig-
Best to you and yours. You will be missed. By the way, before you go, please do tell us, what special thing did you end up doing for your son when he got into the special program???</p>

<p>Thanks for the memories, the laughs and the valuable insights, digs. You were a big part of a special CC moment. You will be missed. </p>

<p>cheers</p>

<p>Whatever will we do without him? One of the clearest voices on cc. I couldn’t resist highlighting my personal favorites, the serious and the not-so.</p>

<p>And my personal favorite, not started by dig, but indelibly and memorably altered by him. For one of the best times you will ever have on cc, check out the thread’s beginning, then move to post # 29 . Don’t stop til you’re no longer having fun.

<p>Thanks for that Digi “scrapbook,” JMMom.</p>

<p>andrew,mardad, faline, sybbie, marmat, lderochi, maineparent, momofthree, beachy, fireflyscout, overanxious mother, susan, cheers and anyone who posted here that I overlooked: Thanks for the well-wishes. All I can say is “Aw, shucks…”</p>

<p>marite: …oops, but that is such a common mistake. Take care.
anxiousmom: thanks for setting the record straight.
kathiep: of course I remember that.
jym636: it was actually kind of simple - we had a great night out at a fondue restaurant with not only cheese fondue, but also chocolate fondue. Yummmmmmmmm…
c-mudge, TheDad, ohio_mom, mootmom and others who have PM’d me: I’ll get back to you as soon as I get some sleep and some time…
northstarmom: you’re a great resource on this forum; keep it up
TheDad: We’ll keep in touch; thanks for some wise words on USC</p>

<p>and a special thanks to jmmom. What can I say?</p>

<p>Golly, that was fun stuff. Thanks again Dig. We had a ball didn’t we? (And special thanks jmmom.Good job on the send off.).</p>

<p>dig, when you DO drop in, just go to the threads involving politics with 6+ pages and jump in – we’ll be needing you ;)</p>

<p>Best wishes to your son and to you.</p>

<p>SB</p>

<p>Just wanted to underscore all of the sentiments already expressed. Hey, dig, life happens. Just don’t let the job become a surrogate child, though, now that you have an empty nest! (I’m preaching to myself as well.)</p>

<p>Happy trails to you and your family!</p>

<p>Thanks for everything you’ve contributed to the board- we’ll miss you.</p>

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

<p>Elizabeth</p>

<p>JMMom, that was great. Dig, thanks for all and good luck to you and yours. My experience tells me that the nest isn’t all that empty; they come home often and continue to be fun. Get some sleep!</p>

<p>Digi, if you come back a year from now, all tanned and relaxed, with a puka shell necklace and a tatoo that says, “Big Kahuna,” we’ll know that the “job” worked out just fine! :wink: </p>

<p>S’later, brah. Enjoy the empty nest! ~slugg</p>

<p>Dig: guess I’ll have to have a solo Chuck E Cheese party. Will miss you, but life does involve changes. Enjoy your empty nest and see what happens when it fills up again a couple of times a year for at least the next 4.
Another emptynester, but not at the present.</p>
