  • Sixty years for me, though not continuous residence in the same home.  

    I lived in my childhood home for 23 years before moving out of the parental home.  I returned to live in my childhood home 37 years ago.

    43 years by my count. It's a number I think of often given that I graduated high school and entered college in 1978.

    I graduated high school in 1963, so I was already a taxpayer before you got out of high school. :)

  • That would be my parents' house, for the first 18 years of my life and then again for another year recently.

  • Hi Element!  I'm fine, how are you?  Always nice to come back to familiar "old" friends.  I've been mostly on FB ... seeing some AB'ers there once in awhile. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at July 26, 2021 9:10 PM MDT

    I am as well as I can be. Getting older and dumber. When someone older here disappears for a while, I fear the worst. I am glad that you are well. You obviously survived the COVID. It is great to see you back.

    On June 19th, my wife and I moved downstairs from an apartment I lived in for 14 years (11 years with her) into one I previously lived in for three years.

    I’ve lived in my house for 27 years, which is my entire life.  I bought it from my dad when he got remarried and moved in with my stepmom.
