 NB>>> That's the sort that my niece was making... or at least
 NB>>> something similar...  :)  She's rather creative...  :)
 RH>> Most likely something on that sort. There are several commercial
 RH>> patterns available for making them. Deborah thought about it but her
 RH>> time was too committed otherwise. She did invest in the snap setter
 RH>> and some of the fabric, got us interested in the plastic snaps they use
 RH>> and I now use them on the diaper bags I make.
 NB>> Yes, I think I do remember you talking about that at the time.  Ruthie
 NB>> made up her own pattern, IIRC...  But then she'd been diapering her
 NB>> younger siblings for years, so probably had been thinking through
 NB>> things for a while..  She's #4, first girl, of 10 kids...  :)

 RH> How many other girls after her? 

3 more.  There were two more boys, then the three girls (younger two are
twins), and the last one another boy.

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

 RH>>> getting a reduction in water rates starting next month as the
 RH>>> town has finally paid off the cost of tying into the greater
 RH>>> Raleigh system.
 NB>>> That will help, too...  :)
 RH>> For sure--we took off the flow restrictor shower heads and toilet
 RH>> flush adaptors about 6 weeks ago. Got a water bill today and we can
 RH>> see the difference in not having, vs having, them on.
 NB>> Rather impressive, I take it...?

 RH> Significant enough that we will put the water savers in at the new
 RH> place.
 
Now you know for sure that it helps.   :)
 
 RH>>> I do have more work room, and yes, the sauerbraten will wait
 RH>>> until after the move at this stage of the chaos.
 NB>>> I figured as much... :)   You'll enjoy making it more at the new
 NB>>> place 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.  :)

 RH> Finding a spot clear enough on the table for the 2 of us to sit and
 RH> eat is challenging. (G)
 
I'm sure.  :)  And probably for a little while longer, until you get
things somewhat settled in the new place...  :)

 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
 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..  :)

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

Lack of opportunity...?  Or just better judgement...?  ;)

ttyl       neb

... Help stamp out and abolish redundancy!
