<p>I loved the story of the poster who was on *The Price is Right *on the way to taking her son to school!</p>

<p>I got a lot of laughs out of Explaining C.C., which was about trying to explain things from the old days to your kids, like carbon copies. I definitely plan to track down the threads some of you describe as hilarious on my next down day.</p>

<p>bassdad’s series about “so you want to be a music major” - our HS music faculty uses it now many times for students/parents considering the major in our district - bravo!</p>

25

<p>One of the absolute best threads was the “urban moundbuilders” thread on the “old” forum. A true classic. Then there was Curmudgeon’s College Confidentialia thread (what was the name of that thread? It was about silly musings…) and the C.O.W.A.R.T.S. writing awards. I, too, miss the meta thread. The quick wit and banter was fun. Oh, and every now and then I go back and read my post-prom party blow-by-blow thread just to ask myself “what was I thinking??”</p>

<p>Support for LTS, Mollie’s wedding, and Oakland Mom’s move in trip, including the Price is Right appearance, are long term favorites; recently I enjoyed the thread about CC addiction and the very recent Random Thoughts and MOWC’s wedding thread have been fun. I started lurking on CC in January, '02 and have no desire to leave because of the wonderful characters I have “met” along the way.</p>

<p>If you all could post the links as well then life would be so easy

<p>So many fun memories…</p>

<p>I’ve enjoyed most of those mentioned - although some were before my time (now I’ll have to search for them to see what I missed). My favorite are The Vigil and Support for LTS. So many others…</p>

here’s the link to the drop off day story <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/398024-drop-off-day-story-installments.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/398024-drop-off-day-story-installments.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
next week I head down to Pasadena to pick up DS…and this time I’m flying down and picking him up and we’ll rent a car to drive home. Hopefully, no car breakdowns, but then again no trip to the Price is Right!</p>

Hope you will be there thursday! You know what hotel I’ll be at.</p>

<p>The Katrina thread touched me. I followed links to local newspaper reports, still contribute to Xavier (before mini I had never heard of this college), and followed the plight of students when leaving, finding temporary “homes”, etc.</p>

32

<p>There are so many wonderful, memorable threads, touching threads, and many of them were mentioned. I guess my favorites are the vacation threads because they are a cheap way for me to escape, dream, and relax, but here is one that had me laughing so hard that I had tears rolling down my face:

<p>bookworm,
I will be there thursday! and I do know what hotel you’ll be at! Oh, my its graduation for your DS…oh, (and apologies for hijacking this thread), how are you feeling about graduation? excited, sad? What time are you getting in? I guess I should be pming you…lets try to connect. I’m sure DS won’t have even started packing, so I’ll have some time on my hands, though we do plan on heading north on Thursday, but I’m sure it won’t be til evening.</p>

<p>OMG I just finished the bidet thread. It was a bit before my time but it has to be one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long while. I love the last post!
I also love the “off your chest thread”.</p>
