      This is the only thing I'd mention to the families. Also, $18/month is less than $1/day, which seems like it'd be less than the COLA over the past 5 years. (Not that I took the time to do the math, but it's not a lot.) I'd mention that too.

      BTW, $18/month is less than 3 large lattes/month. Just a comparison...

        That's what I was thinking. I'd do $20. Heck they couldn't even go to McDonald's for $20 ONCE if they have kids. $5 a week is nothing with the cost of things the way they are.

              It's ok. I thought the same thing. Huh, I don't even like COLA, so why would I use that as an excuse......

              Thank goodness for you ladies....
