Hi Michael,

 ML> I'm pretty sure changing tables weren't fashionable when I
 ML> was a baby or at an age to change babies (which happened on
 RH> I don't think my mom had one but I'm glad I did. I've changed a lot of
 RH> diapers with the baby on one.

 ML> I cannot claim expertise on the subject, having never contracted
 ML> to do the job and so having changed but a few in my lifetime.

Different life than mine, less opportunity to change diapers.

 RH> Heavy can be relative too--what's heavy for me may not be for you.
 RH> And, those seats can be heavy by the time you factor in the base and
 RH> the carrier together.

 ML> The relativity for me is that the density of a car seat seems
 ML> to be less than 1, so the heft (for me) is less than expected
 ML> given the bulk.

Still, not the kind of thing I can sling about easily.

 ML> The used market is a wondrous thing, and the army probably
 ML> recognizes that on some level.
 RH> To some extent, but not 100%. Some military thrift shops take
 RH> furniture, most don't so if you're not renting a furnished place, you
 RH> have to go on the economy to buy--and that can get costly.

 ML> Not to imply that the enlisted soldier's lot is easy or is
 ML> made easier by military policies, just to point out possible
 ML> reasons for those policies.

Yes, and some shops do cater to the junior ranks, giving them good
prices. OTOH, there are others that gouge and can end up on an
installation's black list--which is not always seen by those who need to
know where to avoid shopping.

 ML> Maybe, if there weren't cheaper and more appealing choices,
 ML> such as fried crickets [g].
 RH> I'll go for the curried shrimp burger.

 ML> It's all in the perception. Shrimp are as objectionable to some
 ML> (and for similar reasons) as insects. For me, neither, of course,
 ML> but cheese, especially in fish dishes, often is.

I've had salmon, covered with mayo, then parm cheese and baked.
Actually, not nearly as bad as it sounds--quite good. One of the
families in our church in HI made it for a get together.
