  Love it!

  Gore handles interviews so wonderfully.  Thanks for sharing, since I am apparently not average and don't watch TV much at all.  I think I might watch 4.5 hours in a WEEK, not a day, and then it's only Sesame Street, Between the Lions, or a Signing Time DVD thanks to my daughter.On More Gore posted 2 years, 5 months ago 8 Responses

  Re: Poo 2

  I agree with PBrazelton about containers for diapers to prevent smell.  We use a Diaper Champ and it fits the name well.  Since we rarely spend time in the baby's room, we'd be more likely to smell the diapers if the pail didn't work, but we never have unless we've opened it to do laundry.  I know many people who use simple lidded trash cans (usually the type with foot pedals) without complaints.  Some of these people even live in apartments.

  Also, gDiapers are incredibly awesome!  Our cloth system is actually Gerber DSQ prefolds folded up to fit inside gPants.  We were using the flushable inserts while we were out and about but have decided they're neither worth the money nor the hassle since we love cloth so much, but for people who don't like cloth, they're wonderful.  There is a learning curve, and every time I try to use a flushable I get frustrated because I don't do it often enough to be a pro (they take a bit of time to insert until several diapers have been filled for practice).

  I can't think that it wouldn't matter when choosing cloth or disposable diapers.  I can't see how that study could be correct (bias, anyone?).  Seriously, the resources needed for making all those disposables my baby would wear compared to the resources needed for making the three dozen cloth diapers we have... it's like comparing apples and oranges!  Granted, there are resources used in doing the laundry, but my diapers are not taking up space in a landfill for the next however many years.  Besides, who really wants all those nasty and stinky (Lord, how I hate the smell of a disposable diaper) chemicals next to baby's skin?On The paper vs. plastic question must die posted 2 years, 5 months ago 20 Responses

  I agree, but...

  As far as this particular choice goes, I agree for the most part.  The only thing that bothers me about it is that people need to start somewhere and need to be aware that every choice has its pros and cons.  Even though this is small beans, it's a start.  Some people are just late bloomers.

  What about cloth vs. disposable diapers?  I'm curious to know what the pros and cons are of each without wondering if there is bias in any of the information.On The paper vs. plastic question must die posted 2 years, 5 months ago 20 Responses

  Nice

  Tag clouds are "in" and quite useful.  I know plenty of people who will appreciate this.

  This clip was the perfect response.  It doesn't get much better than The Word.  ;)On Colbert: The Word posted 2 years, 5 months ago 3 Responses
