I recently read that most adults settle within 20 miles of the town of their upbringing. How about you? 1. What town did you grow up in? 2. How far from it are you now? You can get the distance by visiting http://www.mapquest.com/directions and entering your old address and new address. This works if you are from the US (but not Hawaii) or Canada. For me: 1. Manhattan 2. 23 miles Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||

ashear, or maybe move your parents uptown to where my mother lives. That would break the 20 mile boundary. Tom Reingold the prissy-pants There is nothing | ||
