HAHAHA!

Raq, this is SUCH a hivemind thing.

Lillian's wearing one right now, because the killer scratch-and-dent food and dry goods place I go to had the starter kits for $12, which is about what you'd pay for two decent diaper covers. As I've read that, if you don't feel like using the flushables that much, the covers are pretty nice just as covers, I figured what the hell and bought the kit today.

The good: about the same staying power as a disposable, so they're handy for when you're going to be gone from the house for a while and don't feel like dealing with cloth. Flushable, though if your system's not too hot, they might not go down smoothly. FWIW, I flushed one down our toilet with no problem. Cute covers, and they fasten in back where the baby can't pull them off as easily.

The bad: kind of a pain in the ass. They're like using a really clunky all-in-two or pocket diaper system. Insides bunch and shift more than I'd like. Needs a tearstrip like band-aides have so that you don't have to touch the flushable insert when you tear it.

See, this is a brilliant design. And since diaper changes now involve Mal standing up and making out with the baby in the mirror afterwards, putting on a diaper with tabs in the back would be easier.

I was concerned about this.

I did see that if there's no solid waste, the flushable parts can be garden composted, which is also good.

It's not too bad, as-is, but I'm on their mailing list and they asked for feedback, so you asked about them right after I'd just typed out answers to their questions about what they could improve and it was fresh in my mind.

I saw Cass. and juliana's mom. and other people. I wasn't sure if I was feeling sociaable , but I don't think I stopped talking. so yay. but all mistakes are due to be tired, not drunkenness.

The hivemind is a beautiful and terrible thing.

And -- I don't think I can cope with this -- he's perky and tries to TALK TO ME first thing in the morning. I told him death was imminent, and he just laughed and said "You're way less grumpy than I expected."

BLESS.

You are both adorable.

Thanks for all the well-wishing, folks - I'm VERY excited about the Thailand thing.

Symptom change!

My chest seems to have cleared (woo hoo!) but now my throat is so swollen I feel like I'm choking. Feh. No WONDER I was all nightmarey last night.

Thank you, libkitty! That was exactly he kind of advice I was looking for. I really appreciate it.

alright, have taken dayquil. it should kick in in half an hour. then I'll run and get money, juice, sorbet, nyquil, chloraceptic and tissues. Then I'll come back here and die

There's not a person with a pulse that doesn't want to make out with meara at least a little.

I've seen pics and agree with this completely!

Well, I guess as long as you have a plan... I hope you feel better soon, Trudy.

vw, I'm so sorry that so very much is hitting you all at once. Lots of health ~ma to you.

From what I've heard, there are many a couple that are opposites in regards to their morning routine, Tep. It can be done. Yay for sleepovers, boo for allergies, but it's a good sign that the kitties have accepted you into the fold... at least as a pillow.
