I am freaked out about moving so close to my parents, which is why I'm determined to live in the farthest-away reasonable neighborhood. I haven't lived in MA since I was 17. Well, the summer I was 18, but that's it.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

My mother is still trying to convince me to move back home.
So is mine. For that matter, HER mother WAS successful in getting her to move back home - almost literally (a separate-entrance apartment built onto my grandparents' house).

Actually, it doesn't gross me out too much. I mean, compared to the volume of the pool and full knowledge that kids DO pee in the pool...that's why it is chlorinated.
I hope you get to that point faster than you expect, msbelle.
T called me to tell me about school and set up a time to meet. She tested into algebra 2. That's my girl!

I can't imagine my parents leaving NM, and I can't imagine living there again. So who knows.

Jesse, what neighborhoods are you looking at? I was just talking possible Boston neighborhoods with my sister.

Jamaica Plain is the theoretical frontrunner, although I'm still trying to figure it out.

Jamaica Plain! I know that neighborhood from the Kingston Trio song, "MTA."
...and he changed for Jamaica Plain / When he got there the conductor told him, "One more nickel," / Charlie couldn't get off of that train
That's about all I know of Boston neighborhoods.
Now I'm earwormed with that song.

When they recently put in a subway card system, they named them CharlieCards. Cute!

That's hilarious! I'll have to tell my dad that--he's the big Kingston Trio fan that got me hooked on their music.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
On the car seat and seatbelt thing -- my mom said that when my older sister was born, in the late seventies, she and my dad researched all the car seats and bought the one that was rated the safest and put it into the back seat of the car so that it would be ready to take the baby home from the hospital, and the nurse refused to put the baby in the car seat, because the baby would obviously be safer in her mother's arms than in some weird contraption.
