Tongue in Cheek Advise on how to keep the nest empty!

• When you know your daughter is going to borrow your car, leave the gas tank nearly empty.
• When your son is out for the day, remove the bed in his room. Tell him the only sleeping option is an air mattress in the living room or the sofa in the den.
• Stop paying their cell phone bill.
• Reminisce-a lot. Start with the 1960s and work your way through the '80s in painful detail.
• Turn the Wi-Fi on and off at random times. Tell your boomerang that your provider said service is going to be intermittent for an undetermined length of time and there might even be periods with no Internet connection.
• Watch a steady diet of 60 Minutes, CNN and CNBC.
• Play a constant soundtrack of '70s rock-better yet, lite FM.
• Cancel subscriptions to Starz and HBO. Sorry, Charlie: No more Game of Thrones
• Clear the house of soda, snack foods, microwave meals and anything that your child can easily grab at 2 a.m. You'll be doing yourself a favor in more ways than one.
