Participant[quote=Scarlett]For some reason I thought the PB plumbing was introduced in mid 70s.[/quote]
All you ever wanted to know about PB:“Polybutylene pipe is grey, black or blue. Interior polybutylene plumbing is almost always grey and exterior polybutylene plumbing is mostly blue.
Polybutylene pipe was installed and manufactured from the late 1970’s till the mid-1990’s, however, stockpiles of polybutylene pipe at supply vendors, such as supply risers were still known to be available up to 1999.
The most common sizes for polybutylene pipe are 3/8″, ½”, ¾” and 1″.
Polybutylene piping was used for both residential and commercial water distribution piping.
Polybutylene pipe connectors can be copper, brass, or plastic. The connector types are barbed with a crimp ring or compression with a plastic or metal ferrule.”In PQ area most PB was installed mid 80’s. Know someone who just bought a house and had Bill Howe Plumbing replace PB pipes. Have to ask, but probably in 6-8K plus extensive drywall repair.

Participant[quote=sdrealtor]My son went to a licensed home day care. Actually 2 different ones in 2000. One in Mira Mesa and one in North Carlsbad. That was about 10 years ago and both were about $1000/month. I would challenge you to find me a good quality home day care in a decent area for $600 to 700/month. Please provide me a few as I always have clients looking for referrals to them but no one has ever found anything even close to that. I’m just saying…..[/quote]
sdr,Are you sure you looked long enough? You just have to do 3 months of searching, interviewing and willing to abide by Tiger mom rules – no soup for you. If some of your clients spend 6 months+ year searching for a home, why can’t they spend a little time for daycare search? [satire; for you young folks that means private daycare availability market is very illiquid]
Even ads in Craigslist list 1000+ per kid with day care person taking care of 4 kids in areas between 52/78. Most of the lower priced group care is subsidized by nonprofits such as church.
Or you could get lucky perfect care at $700 like buying that perfect must sell today home at big discount bought Nov 4, 2010 at 4% rate.

Interesting phenomenon that you point out with Prius drivers, as has also been noted at this link I posted previously:
“Ever been cut off by a prius with an Obama sticker? It happens more often than it should. The tipping point for the One Less Prius sticker was nearly being hit by one such vehicle IN THE BIKE LANE on Sunset Blvd. The guy gave me the finger when I threw my hands up.”

I don’t ever see this because I don’t ride a bicycle. I might if they had dedicated separate paths where I need to ride, but sharing the roadway with autos is too dangerous for my blood.
But why you cyclists notice an increased danger from Prius owners is very interesting. Three possible reasons I can think of:
(1) Maybe they are generally less attentive drivers? I sometimes think that many Prius owners don’t like visiting gas stations because they just don’t like cars. Since they don’t like cars, I wonder if that gives them poorer than average driving skills – maybe they don’t take the time to hone those skills.
(2) Maybe they are envious of someone greener than they are?
(3) (thought I had a third possibility but have forgotten)
This would make an interesting case study…if one every gets done, let me know because I’d love to find out the psychology behind this behavior![/quote]
First, hope NavyDoc is feeling better!I pulled up IIHS data and found that in small car segment that Prius [drivers] had fewest claims for bodily injury and lowest overall claims. Of course the age and stature of these drivers is the dominant factor for this data instead of the actual car.
