In response to "Having moved across the country for a job (twice) - the problem Carrie and I had moving away from here was leaving family behind." by Jim

nods My family's move from NY to TX was mere necessity (Dad was losing his job) but in some ways, my family feels the impacts to this day.

My entire extended family, on both sides, with the exception of one or two outliers, lived within 1-2 hours drive of each other in the NY/NJ/CT/PA region. Moving to TX, where we knew nobody, ripped us away from that and put us 'on our own'.

Now Will and Kelly's situation is a bit different since they are already a bit of a hike of family, so it may be more manageable. And if cost of living is lower in TN, it may enable them to afford to get back more perhaps?

your last point is a great one. I just flew through real estate listings and it appears that they could get something modest and livable close to ORNL - amanda jonas Feb 3, 06:23
AND - I guaran-damn-tee, you'll get better BBQ in Tennessee then you will in Maryland. nm - Jim Feb 3, 06:20 11
- Yeah, but Will loves his Maryland crab which will not be in abundance in Tenn. He'll have to find a new seafood to love. -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 06:22 10
  - Bah - they have Red Lobster and stuff down in Tennessee. nm - Jim Feb 3, 06:31 9
    - And David can tell them where the *good* Applebees is. -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 06:35 8
      - FWIW - when Carrie and I had dinner with David and Kim it was NOT at an Applebees. lol -- nm - Jim Feb 3, 06:36 7
        
        Where did we eat? Damons? -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 3, 06:39 2
        
        (I remember the company much more than the meal - :) ) -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 3, 06:40 1
        
        Lol - as do I - but Damon's sounds about right. I believe David and I were both in a "big fat steak" kinda mood. :) -- nm - Jim Feb 3, 06:41
        
        Chilli's? -- nm - Krusty Feb 3, 06:38
        
        Neither did spamlet when he had dinner with us! -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 3, 06:37 1

        But it was almost certainly at a Def Leppard them restaurant. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 06:37
