See The Advertiser's new Web site for photos of families we met at the New Baby Expo. You can also join online conversations with moms just like you. Here's an example: "Summer school ends at the end of July, and (my two kids') next school year begins at the end of August, leaving about a month with no school and no childcare. My husband and I work, and we have no family that can help for the whole time. Have any other moms faced a similar situation?"

MYSTERIOUS POSTCARD ORIGINS UNKNOWN

Have you seen this postcard? It's for the Two Seasons Underwater Hotel & Casino in "Mauihattan." Readers have reported receiving it, from an unknown source, along with two others, an "official invitation," dated 2036, to visit the sovereign nation of Hawai'i, and one for a virtual-reality program of 1960s "Blue Hawai'i." If you know anything about these futuristic scenarios, contact Advertiser writer Lesa Griffith at 525-8036 or lgriffith@honoluluadvertiser.com.

FINAL WORD

"I've been stabbed, had rocks fall on my head, gone cold turkey, nearly drowned, and been hung from a tree. They've definitely taken me to the mill."

Dominic Monaghan | the "Lost" actor on his character Charlie, in Entertainment Weekly
