16. I have two brothers who live there.
One is a widower with a three year old and he had to stay home from work because his nanny couldn't get in from Queens. She is a really wonderful person, really loves my little niece and my brother is still going to pay her, but I kept thinking about all the other people like her who weren't going to get paid and how this holiday season would be affected.

Another friend of mine said it reminded him a little of 9/11, because of the lack of cars and the tremendous amount of people walking. He said it was a bit eerie.

And, I did support the strike...but it seems that the little guy always ends up on the screwed end in this country. Never the fat cat.

Hope you feel better soon!!!

:hi:
