The second half of the word (the "komori" part) is not written 子守 but rather 籠り, which means "to isolate oneself".
The 引き part is less "dragged along" in this context and more "pull away from," so the literal meaning is "to pull away from (society) and isolate oneself."
The stickied posts at Koohii are a great resource for everything related to learning Japanese. It's a pretty popular forum for Japanese learners:
Tae Kim's Guide to Japanese is a resource that has been around for a while that has helped a lot of beginners with the language. I'd recommend checking it out if you are interested in learning the language: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar
I saw a documentary a few years ago about this called Rent a Family Inc.
Their 53 videos on cooking techniques is nice too (the landing page only lists a few):

I'm not a security expert at all, but I was wondering if Google Gruyere[0] was a worthwhile resource/training exercise...
Wells Fargo lets you create a read-only account:
You might want to look into "Kanji ABC" by Foerster & Tamura. It was developed some years after Heisig and avoids using nonsensical keywords. I think their approach is better than Heisig if you already have familiarity with a decent number of kanji. The book is out of print so it may be a little tough to get a hold of (I found mine online at Powell's used bookstore). You can see an online version at work[1], but it isn't that useful on its own without the book.
