This time it's over an hour away from home though -- it would be shorter, but there is rush hour traffic to consider.But more than that, this is going to be challenging in terms of staying diapered all the time.

They call it the Super Dry Kids diaper.One of the things I have said repeatedly over the years is that an adult disposable diaper doesn't look or feel babyish if all you do is enlarge the http://www.liljennie.com/2009/11/another-abuniverse-order.phpnoreply@blogger.com (LilJennie)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759323.post-414885488788774514Fri, 02 Oct 2009 15:24:00 +00002009-10-02T12:09:30.087-04:00productsourcerevieworderpacifierOn the heels of a negative-ish post about ABUniverse, I'd like to mention a positive experience. I ordered a pacifier and clip from pacifiersrus.com and was very pleased. Not only did I get my order quickly (especially considering it was a custom order), it was everything I expected and more.For those who don't already know, the German company MAPI makes NUK pacifier and bottle nipples, which http://www.liljennie.com/2009/10/pacifiers-r-them.phpnoreply@blogger.com (LilJennie)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759323.post-643932941485090730Thu, 01 Oct 2009 17:02:00 +00002009-10-02T12:12:09.494-04:00bibsproductsourcediapersrevieworderI recently ordered from ABUniverse and am only semi-satisfied. I ordered their "boy theme" and "girl theme" bibs -- I think the "girl theme" one is very cute as pictured on their web site. But that's not what I got.

The first one was on my LiveJournal page, and I'll probably eventually repost it here because you can only see it if you're on LJ and I friend you, but it was "You Never Know," by the Dave Matthews Band.This time I'm inducting a song from the 80s into my "http://www.liljennie.com/2009/07/songs-of-childhood-show-me.phpnoreply@blogger.com (LilJennie)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759323.post-8328788148393543298Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:59:00 +00002009-06-29T22:08:15.803-04:00diaper alarmsdiapersscienceAfter hearing about these in the early 1990s (they probably went back to the 1960s or 1970s), I finally saw a musical diaper alarm in operation at an AB party. Seems somebody changed the birthday boy's diaper and slipped the diaper alarm in without his noticing, then next time he wet, little electronic music started to play, and he was very embarrassed, and everybody giggled.And after that, I http://www.liljennie.com/2009/06/more-about-musical-diaper-alarms.phpnoreply@blogger.com (LilJennie)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759323.post-2706202030763899376Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:46:00 +00002009-06-19T13:30:04.569-04:00psychologyterminologyadult babiesAs you can probably guess from some of my recent terminology-based postings, I understand Kathi Stringer's desire to come up with a better terminology. The words we have to describe ourselves and our activities are woefully inadequate.

It took forever to get home, though. A 10-mile stretch of I-65 was under "construction," by which I mean the road was narrowed to one lane, but I didn't see any actual work happening, so it took us about 40 minutes of stop-and-go traffic to go those 10 miles.I wet my night diapers last night (that makes 3 out of the last 4 nights), and although I http://www.liljennie.com/2009/06/back-home-again.phpnoreply@blogger.com (LilJennie)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759323.post-4486978726163879029Sat, 13 Jun 2009 01:36:00 +00002009-06-12T21:46:18.615-04:00odordiaperswifeconventionsI am currently posting from Duckon, a science fiction convention near Chicago. If you don't see me online, that's why. The hotel the convention is in has free wi-fi in the lobby (which is why I can post this) and free high-speed Internet for guests. But we're not staying at the same hotel.

Maybe it doesn't seem too important to some people, but it's important to me. There wasn't any conversation going on until a "little girl" and her "daddy" came on (obviously these are both adults) and started roleplaying.

Antibiotics clear it right up, but it keeps coming back. The first symptom is that, well, my wet diapers start smelling really bad.

Wow, it's been a while since I posted to this. Well, let's see if I can do better at staying up to date.This may be old news for people, or it may not. There's some kind of law against selling toddler sippy cups that hold more than 12 ounces of liquid in the USA.

They buy Nuk 5 pacifiers from MAPA in Germany (you won't find the Medic Pro Saugtrainer on this page; it only has their products for babies), dismantle them, and combine them with pacifiers made for actual babies using a process they call MonSep12©.

What a boring update this is. But basically since the Munch has been held in Bloomington for the past several months due to not very many people coming who don't live in Bloomington, I'm just saying we'll go with Bloomington unless somebody would rather meet in Greenwood.
