Yep - we were in a home daycare and that would be our preference (well obviously our preference would be to stay home with the kid but that won't work right now).

I hope so too. My wife is fed up with working/waiting until things are right for baby #2. We are looking at changing jobs/cities to cut down expenses so she can stay home for the next couple years. I'm hoping to get into upstream oil and gas right now.

Sadly, the US Government has a fairly long history of running experiments on civilians without their knowledge or consent. There's around a dozen instances where bacteria, radiation, or medical experiments were performed on small groups to entire cities. In several cases people did get sick from these. And those are just the ones in public domain.

There's a great little book called "CIA's Greatest Hits," it's got all kinds of goodies like this.

Reminds me of the East German doping program. Many athletes didn't even know they were doping. Their coaches gave them "vitamins" for years .... basically experimenting on the athletes..... and their bodies are really f-d up now.

Wife's Razr leaped to its death after a long life. Looking at Android phones. What is the collective wisdom? Any "dogs" to avoid? We are on Verizon after the Alltel takeover if that makes a difference.
Any advice to use an Apple product will be ignored.

Go with an HTC product.

Evo and Droid X are big, but good if you're into multimedia. Netflix streaming isn't far off, and the bigger screens will probably be pretty nice for this purpose. For normal sized phones, the Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S (Epic) are the leaders, with the nod going to the Samsung, just because it's newer. HTC has some about ready to roll out for the next turn in the leapfrog. If you want a slider, the Droid 2 is a safe bet.
Features to look for:
-Android 2.2 (Froyo) installed, with declared plans to update to 2.3 (Gingerbread) when available
-Free wifi hotspot enabled w/out rooting (I believe this can be had on the Samsung)
-Swype pre-installed
-1GHz+ processor
-Possibly 4G. Sprint only right now, but Verizon has it around the corner here...
The only phone I'd actively avoid is the Motorola iQ. Just sucks and is on a sucky network
