I currently have Verizon fios for internet, phone and TV. My 2 year commitment has ended and I think I'm getting rid of my land line. I just got a roku because I have amazon prime but don't really know how to set it up. Will I need Netflix and hulu? (Neither of which I've used before). Any suggestions? Should I keep Verizon for internet and ditch them for phone and cable?

We couldn't have been happier with the program at Grace Church. It's flexible so that we didn't have to pay if my daughter was sick or if we were out of town & could often pick up an extra day here or there if we needed it. The caregivers are amazing and it's the best bargain around. They explained that the hours were reduced a couple summers ago because programs have to have a license from the stat of new jersey if they are longer than two hours (and have more than a handful of kids). There is a waiting list, but you can also usually stop by in the morning to check it out.

Good Luck.

Is it just families whose kids go to the school who go to this dance? My kid is on the waiting list and my nephew is considering St. Anthony's. I'm thinking about getting tickets because I've always been curious about Casino in the Park, but not sure if it's primarily for those schools. Will the location change every year or can I just plan on it next year if my kid (hopefully) gets in?

Does anyone know the rules for converting a one family to a two family (renting out the ground floor which will have 2 exits) in the McGinley Square area. What sort of permits would be needed and would there be any difficultly doing this if it's not owner occupied?

Is there any point in giving bogus names on the spectra petitions as in will it cause more problems for them in the long run if it turns out that a percentage of the signers are bogus? I had people approach me yesterday & made sure to take up a good 20 minutes of their time before I told them that I wouldn't sign and then I started to wonder about maybe if I should have geven a false name since it took up a good 20 minutes of my time to.

I've been seeing all kinds of flyers around for part time childcare but they average about $40+ for three hours and I can find a babysitter for that amount. I'm pretty sure that a neighbor of mine who moved away sent her son to a drop off childcare place for only $20-25 and sometimes she didn't have to pay because she stayed to help out for part of the time. Does anyone know the name of the place or if they're prices went way up too?

If you are looking for any kind of a natural (unmedicated) birth experiece, I would NOT recommend Hackensack. My daughter was born there and I found the majority of the nursing staff to be downright rude when I told them I did not want the epidural and had discussed this previously with my OB. Also, you are hooked up to an IV as soon as you get there. There was so much pressure for me to get an epidural that I did end up with one and did not have a good experience with it. I wasn't totally opposed to getting one, but I wanted to keep my options open in the early stages of labor. Also, their C-section rates are incredibly high...not that this is scientific in any way, but of all my friends who delivered there, I am the only one who did not have a section.

Yes, there are private rooms with plasma TVs & the food is good, but that's not really the priority for most women in labor or with a newborn. Also, even with the private room, it was loud and they were unaccomodating to visitors. My husband was not able to stay overnight. Then they insisted on keeping my daughter for jaundice and sent me home after two days. Her pediatrican as well as other docs I have subsequently spoken with said that it was totally unnecessary given her bilirubin levels. In the future I plan to switch to Brescia/Mig. as I've heard that they are much more open (as are St. Mary's, Palisades and Meadowlands Hospitals) to respecting the requests that their patients make.

And I was 34 when my daughter was born, so not sure how that plays out in terms of being considered "higher risk", but I think that's more for the pregnancy & possible risks to the baby for women of "advanced age" than the delivery.
