[ - ] Train table advice please: We have decided to buy our DS a train table. He has a large collection of Take Along Thomas trains and track. These are not compatible with the wooden Brio track. Does anyone know of a train table that is compatible with the Take Along Thomas range? 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

[ - ] Any divorce lawyers on? I live in NY and need to get a divorce because dh had an affair, it gets complicated. I have to file to remove the conditions on my greencard in 11 months, and NY law wont allow me a divorce without a one year separation first. Unless, however I file for divorce because of adultry, but from what I read, its near to impossible to PROVE this, and a judge will want proof, and a confession from dh is not enough. He feels bad, and wants to help me, but what can we do? What would be accepted as proof of adultry? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

^^ we were lucky enough to get into The Children's School, but I looked at 321 and felt my dd would be overwhelmed by the crowded size of 321, but was still looking at it because I heard it was the best in brooklyn. Parents I know with kids there say a lot of the academic success has less to do with the school and more to do with the fact that the kids all have educated parents who read to them etc. and that the teachers like any where are hit or miss.
