What's the hardest part about eating a vegetable? The wheelchair.

I've read that about half of all Americans live within fifty miles of their birthplace.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-31-2010, 04:18 AM

Hey, that means I know how the other half lives, 'cause I am the other half.

Well I'm not the whole other half, I ain't that fat.

If my birthplace is my childhood home, I'm about 20 miles from it. If you count the hospital, I'm more like 10.

Gravdigr · 10-31-2010, 03:57 PM

I live in my birthplace. I bought the house I grew up in. And, yes, I sleep in my old room, the parents sleep in their old room.

I live thousands of miles from my birthplace. But then I'm not American.

I, too, live close to both childhood home and hospital of birth. I'm closer to home than hospital, but closer to the hospital than is my childhood home.

Half of my household lives within 10 miles of their birthplace, but they are kids and were born recently.

Yeah, well, when the people who birthed and raised you and didn't charge you for it, need something ya kinda gotta step up...They were about lose the house they were in, and I had just bought the old place, which left me literally broke. I had no furniture, none. Couldn't afford electric, water, and gas bills. Popdigr was about to cash out his 401k, so we struck the deal. They unloaded their place, moved back home, and they pay the monthly bills and taxes. It works for us...

Lamplighter · 11-01-2010, 07:21 PM

Grav, I think most of the world lives that way. The kids know their responsibility to parents, and the grandparents are in charge of the day care for the G-kids. It's a very good way to go. But moving around the country while working up the career ladder makes it less common here in the US now. It's good what you are doing.

Crimson Ghost · 11-01-2010, 11:25 PM

I live within 50 miles of my birthplace.
My biological mother lives about ten miles away.

xoxoxoBruce · 11-02-2010, 12:53 AM

Geez, what a bunch of stay-at-homes, once again proving Cellarites aren't average.

Pete Zicato · 11-02-2010, 03:27 PM

I live 293 mi from where I grew up. Does that help, Bruce?
