And here in Illinois, we pays our moneys and takes our new license.  That's
it, folks!

Retaking the IBLCE exam is not only easy compared to the first time, it
really is rather fun.  It's relatively quick, and you will be amazed and
delighted at how much you know!  Barbara's post was excellent -- you DO need
to keep up with your reading, going to conferences, Lactnet and networking,
but you'll do fine.  I'm delighted IBLCE is continuing the exam --

And it has nothing to do with money in their pockets.  It costs the same
amount to retake the exam as it does to reup by CERPs.

found it a terrific experience!  (And who has lived to tell about it too).
