Thanks for all the helpful info! I'm all for working-through-it massage, actually. I presume the CSA programs are winding down now?
We may well take you up on babysitting, and hopefully, Mac will be toilet-trained soon, so that won't be an issue in any case. And really, it's just not that difficult.
On gifts: I'm largely of your perspective, except where I have actual positive memories attached to the gifts. It's just sometimes it does feel like amputation. We use one of the shallow bowls for fruit fairly often...but we have like three. We use another one for Christmas ornaments.
Oh! One of those things that I keep forgetting is not as useful nation-wide: Yelp.com. It steered me right many a time. Beware the SF hipster bias, however.
