She's been here when I've been working from home before - this seems like a complete break from normal. Still. bad.

Yeah still bad. And unpleasant for all involved.

OMG the cotton balls. So wrong.

Sure. wrong because wrong tool (too small). But I've been using cottony wipes with tap water because the wipes are literally chaffing Noah's ass at this point (god bless barrier cream). So while its wrong, not that wrong.

Whenever my sister was being hyper mom when her kids were little, I could get her to stop just by saying "Cotton. Balls."

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

wrong because wrong tool (too small).

Yeah, my "Whoah" reaction is entirely based on the size of the item. Having an aversion to or actual evidence against the chemical thingies, okay. But "Here, use about a hundred of these while you wipe up the nearly liquid mess..." not so.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I use cloth wipes & a bowl of water because cloth diapers + disposable wipes = picking bits of wipe lint out of your diaper laundry two days later.

(And whenever I run a day late on laundry and run out of cloth wipes, I'm always flabbergasted at how many disposable wipes I have to use to equal the surface area of one cloth one. I can't even imagine how many cotton balls one diaper change would take.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Vilsack?

OK, so I sent the email, saying, "this argument is Vilsack." That works, right? I didn't look it up first.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand the aversion to disposable wipes for a number of reasons. But,
Do you buy special distilled water you use only for that purpose?
Do you boil everything the baby touches for at least 20 minutes?
I think not.

(how funny is that? Disgraced police commissioner-turned-radio-host invites on acrimoniously fired-popular-radio-host who probably bashed on him back in the day!)

I wish it was a hilarious story-line on this season's Wire and not, you know, real life!

Cloth wipes and bowl of water. I should remember to tell that to my SiL who I'm pretty sure will be using cloth diapers.

I always think I should use cloth wipes. But then I don't.

Right now, Noah's having a bad digestive-tract reaction to the antibiotics he was on (the pede tells me it'll be in his system for another 5 days after use. Thanks.). His little steel gut? NSM. So, we've given our day care provider and ourselves a break and are using a pack of disposables.

There are way too many bodily fluids in my life these days.

Bwah

oh, man. Wonder how that kid is doing now?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Wonder how that kid is doing now?

Happily wallowing in something gooey, I hope.
