<p>When I think of my son as “S2” in my head.</p>
<p>When my first thought whenever I read an interesting college-related article is that I need to post it on CC.</p>
<p>Ah man, someone moved my thread to the parent cafe </p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>I tell the seniors to go look up my previous posts so I don’t have to write it all again.</p>
<p>When college football season starts and you wonder what a fellow ccer you pm’d last year to “talk” football thinks of this year’s team.</p>
<p>My H complains that everything that doesn’t get done is because I’m on “that %$#@ CC again” – yet LOVES that my legwork helped us find some great schools, negotiate FA and in general, saved us $$$$$ because he originally wanted to pay for a college admissions counselor.</p>
<p>tututaxi,
how does an old-timers thread violate rules?</p>
<p>thanks for clarification. perhaps try again, without the names?</p>
<p>My S made a career change since graduation. One friend did the same. It helps to read about other people’ progressions. I also recall people having health problem, and hope to hear what has happened. At some point, hope to hear more about emergence of social lives.</p>
<p>I don’t think any of the “ode to old posters” type threads are ok. I’d let that go.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I just thought that he/she had an inside track and was either a cc moderator in disguise or a cc owner…someone with a great sense of humor…I think its hilarious!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Fogfog,
Nope, not a moderator or CC owner. No inside track. ;)</p>
<p>so so true!</p>
<p>When you want to try a new vacation spot and you rely on your CC friends to tell you where to stay!</p>
<p>… when you think “it’s faster to ask on CC than it is to try and find this myself…”</p>
<p>…when you remember the old CC system prior to the major revamp 5 or so years ago.</p>
<p>^^ and you remember with fondness the classic “urban mound builders” thread from the old (classic) forum.</p>
<p>(and let’s not forget those of us who came over from that other not-to-be-mentioned college information forum)</p>
<p>Are you that old, too, DMD, in 2000 when I found CC there were not many posts, you could check it once a week, whereas that forum whose name shall not be said aloud was much busier.</p>
<p>Hope that helps ;)</p>
<p>Somemom: let’s put it this way… I started hunting for college info when my DD was in the fall of her junior year. She graduated from college in 2007.</p>
<p>My oldest got her first degree in 2006 and I, too, began in her junior year…I don’t think I hit it in grade 10, which would have been 1999!</p>
<p>But, besides the fount of information that is the cafe, I also have two younger DDs who have now completed undergrad and, now, 2 in grad school, all of which have been researched here.</p>
<p>… when, each year, you know at least a little bit about every college any one of the 70 or 80 band seniors are heading to, as listed in the H.S. spring band program every May…</p>
