Yes, I think I do remember you talking about that at the time.  Ruthie
made up her own pattern, IIRC...  But then she'd been diapering her
younger siblings for years, so probably had been thinking through things
for a while..  She's #4, first girl, of 10 kids...  :)
 
 RH>>> Yes, so our utilities costs should go down.
 NB>>> Possibly....  time will tell... :)

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

Rather impressive, I take it...?

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

I'd say.  :)
 
 NB>>> This long ago, what sticks best in your mind is the mess it made
 NB>>> that you ended up having to clean up, twice...!  ;)  Just a
 NB>>> tasty snack, as 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... ;)

 RH> She didn't have to deal with the consequences the same way I did. The

 RH> Axion--IIRC, I used one of those and a lot of elbow grease.

Exactly..  :)
