Wishing all the best for you and mac, msbelle.
Reading about Murrican provisions for/battles with healthcare, pregnancy and so on just makes me shake my head. But then, we're all borderline commies over here....
Are daycare prices in SF/NYC exceptional even for the States? 'Cos we'd be paying less than a fifth of the rates JZ mentioned for all-day nursery here. Ouch.

Our school district has a plan for before and after daycare (all day when there is a no school day) that runs $285 a month per child. All day care from a legit provider otherwise runs in the area of $500 a month I think.

In more fun news -- the niles-centerville little league ( senior division) will be playing in the finals for the little league world series. They just won their 5th game. I keep getting these detailed posts on our local egroup.

I've marked the first post with links for me. THANK YOU! something for me to plow through, but not right now. I can almost physically feel myself coming down from the last three days.
