Hi Nancy,

 RH> The newer prefolds are interesting; they have a leak proof outer layer

 NB> That's the sort that my niece was making... or at least something
 NB> similar...  :)  She's rather creative...  :)

Most likely something on that sort. There are several commercial
patterns available for making them. Deborah thought about it but her
time was too committed otherwise. She did invest in the snap setter and
some of the fabric, got us interested in the plastic snaps they use and
I now use them on the diaper bags I make.


 NB>  RH>> Yes, so our utilities costs should go down.
 NB>  NB>> Possibly....  time will tell... :)

 RH> Should have an idea by the end of the year. Then too, WF is getting a

 RH> paid off the cost of tying into the greater Raleigh system.

 NB> That will help, too...  :)

For sure--we took off the flow restrictor shower heads and toilet flush
adaptors about 6 weeks ago. Got a water bill today and we can see the
difference in not having, vs having, them on.

 NB>  RH>> It's about time for me to start making soups again. I'll do a
 NB>  RH>> sauerbraten either next week or after we move; it's something I
 NB>  RH>> usually do about this time of year when it starts getting cold.
 NB>  NB>> Do you have enough prep and cook room in the kitchen now...?  ;)
 NB>  NB>> I'm guessing that'll end up being done after you move...  :)

 RH> I do have more work room, and yes, the sauerbraten will wait until
 RH> after the move at this stage of the chaos.

 NB> I figured as much... :)   You'll enjoy making it more at the new place
 NB> anyway, with less chaos...  :)

Once the initial dust is settled, yes, very much so. It would have
tasted good on a cold night like tonight but it would have been too much
to do, this close to the move.

 NB>  NB>> This long ago, what sticks best in your mind is the mess it made
 NB> that  NB>> you ended up having to clean up, twice...!  ;)  Just a
 NB> tasty snack, as  NB>> far as she was concerned....  ;)

 RH> Yes, and she's probably long ago forgotten the incident.

 NB> It having not made the same impression on her as it did on you... ;)

She didn't have to deal with the consequences the same way I did. The
best laundry aid at that time were the enzyme pre soaks like Biz or
Axion--IIRC, I used one of those and a lot of elbow grease.
