 RH> Most likely something on that sort. There are several commercial

 NB> Yes, I think I do remember you talking about that at the time.  Ruthie

How many other girls after her? I did a rough trace of one diaper but
never used it when Deborah said she had bought (I forget how many) a
good amount of pre made ones. I've seen them with either snap or velcro
for the closures--she said that one brand of diapers had a problem with
the snap coming off but it was only put thru one layer of fabric. Those
that had the snap thru 2 or more layers held together better. Those that
had the problem, the company replaced for free tho.

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

 RH> For sure--we took off the flow restrictor shower heads and toilet

 NB> Rather impressive, I take it...?

Significant enough that we will put the water savers in at the new
place.


 NB>  RH>> I do have more work room, and yes, the sauerbraten will wait

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

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

 NB> I'd say.  :)

Finding a spot clear enough on the table for the 2 of us to sit and eat
is challenging. (G)

 NB>  NB>>> tasty snack, as far as she was concerned....  ;)
 NB>  RH>> Yes, and she's probably long ago forgotten the incident.
 NB>  NB>> It having not made the same impression on her as it did on
 NB> you... ;)

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

 NB> Exactly..  :)

And thnakfully, neither of my girls did anything of the sort.
