Jay-in-Pampers

Wow... Back up from the 4th page... Lol. Just figured I'd let everyone know that we're doing a big cookout in Springfield, MA this Saturday. About 25 people are coming so far, and the more the merrier. PM me for details if you want to come hang out.

Hey guys... Sorry for the delayed response... The last few weeks (well, month) have been wrought with me moving into a new job and a new (and much larger, and more party friendly) apartment, so it's been a little busy up here on the north shore. I hope to have something planned... At least dinner out... Sometime in the next week or two. I'll definitely post up when plans have been made firm. It'd definitely be cool to meet some more DDers!

And if you really want to get anal, it'd be best said a "donor". Curious... All the phone a mommy, ABU, crib, etc., ads all over the site don't amass to $3-4k in ad revenue annually?

If I make a donation, can I get a banner under my avatar that spells "donator" correctly?

Sounds like you're going to the wrong parties with the wrong people. In addition to the dozens of parties I've attended, I've hosted around 40 myself over the past few years. Good mix of ABs, and DLs, male, female, young and old... Sometimes in groups of 30 or more. I've NEVER experienced any of what you've suggested. Considering you have no problem calling people "retarded", maybe the issue lies from within. As for the "ABDL public spectacle" debate, I think it is poor taste. It might not be illegal to go gallivanting about in public in AB garb, but I do think doing so says a lot about one's lack of common sense, and respect for others.

"Personal responsibility" is becoming a forgotten ideal.

Bingo. For those with Comcast, this episode is available On Demand.

I wouldn't be too concerned over what the lowlifes on Ebaumsworld have to say. The member base there isn't exactly the pinnacle of humanity.

Some pics from past events... (sorry for the smilies, but I have to keep things anonymous )

Ahh.. Cool cool... I was worried there for a second that I'd totally drawn a blank about meeting someone. No real "link" to explain anything (the forum in my sig that I set up is kinda... uhh... neglected ), but, I'll give you the "basics"... BostonBabies was a group started way back in the DPF days (even before the internet, and way before I got involved), and parties and events have been held semi-regularly for 20 years or so. I met one of the most active party hosts on one of those "screw it, I'm just going to bite the bullet and go meet some people" nights back in 2005, and once I was over the fact that I wasn't meeting a bunch of wierdos, but rather a pretty cool group of people, we hit it off. I went to a party hosted by TinyTroy (from ABY) shortly after, in Revere, and met the rest of the "regulars", and decided hosting some of my own shindigs would be a cool idea. Fast forward 3 years, and I've hosted just under 40 events... Everything from ski trips, dinners out, holiday parties, trips to Six Flags in both MA and NJ, water parks, camping trips, etc., to chill nights at the house just relaxing with friends and a few drinks. Parties have been everything from full-on AB centric events with contests, storytimes, etc., to just some of us (sometimes not even diapered) meeting up for a car show, or a drive in movie or something. In 3 years I've met somewhere around 150 really cool people, and many have become lifetime friends, diapers or not. I'd have to say that the best thing about being a DL is that I've met so many people from different walks of life that I'd never have met if I were "normal". Even though I have a great group of non-abdl friends, it's always cool to meet new people. As far as out your way, my good friend Mikey (babimikey004 on ABY) lives out there, and we head out to visit him pretty regularly. We were out a few weekends ago to meet a new dude from N. Adams that came down for the weekend to hang out, and I'll be headed out in a few weeks to spend the weekend helping Mike work on his GTO... Nothing better than guys, diapers, car parts, and beer, hahaha. As I've said before, I'm game for meeting pretty much anyone, as are a lot of people in the Boston area, and a few even out your way. Only looking for friendship, and I'll pass on axe murderers and such, but aside for that, anything goes. Again, if you, or anyone else wants to meet up, just gimme a yell via PM. Any other questions?

Have I met you before? My apologies if I have... Sooo many different names at different websites to keep track of. That, and CRS is kicking in.

We ended up pushing it up to Saturday (I'd have posted here, but for some reason couldn't access DD the end of last week), as the "guest of honor" was sick the middle of last week. We did a late lunch at Romano's in Methuen, and had 8 join us. All but one came back to the house after to shoot the shit and have a few drinks, and later in the evening a few others from NH came down to hang out. Small shindig, but fun as always. A couple of us even went out for dimsum in Boston Sunday morning. Good, diaper filled weekend.

All this bumping and no attending... (pun intended) For anyone interested, there will be a small (3-6 people) group meeting for an early afternoon lunch in/around Boston this coming Thursday, the 6th. If you'd like to join us send me a message here on DD.

I find it ironic that you're worried about people knowing about your diaper fetish at a fetish party. I've never attended a fetish party that wasn't ABDL-centric... Is there really a potential for it to be unwelcome? Kinda seems like any issue would be "pot calling the kettle black" syndrome.

Yep, all of 'em. Anyone, professional or not, will not get my support or respect if they participate in ABDL activities with public exposure. In short, whatever they do on their own time is their business, but if they make it public, it's a whole different (and very inappropriate) situation.

I'm not super-active in these forums, but I am here enough that I read pretty much everything that is posted. With that said, I'd probably want to meet you, Tris... You seem well worded, outspoken, and firm on what you believe. All things that make for great conversation in person. Shame you're 1600 miles away, or I'd definitely be game for chat over a pint or two. Also, another member here (K-San) is relatively local, and turns out is a friend-of-a-friend. Hanging out was an idea in the past, but it has yet to come to fruition. He's got some really interesting blogs about some pretty deep issues, and I'd love to pick his brain over a couple drinks or some green. He seems like a pretty fascinating dude. Overall though, I'd meet just about anyone, provided they're safe and sane. Meeting new people for camaraderie and conversation is what I like best about being into diapers. You can meet some really interesting people, and out of the hundreds I've met, I've yet to have a bad experience.

www.ohwe.de is the only EU based retailer that commonly ships European brands to the US. It isn't cheap, but they have always been good to me, and are prompt with answering questions about orders from abroad.

I've done Crys' method before, which works great... But I've found that instead of pinholes, small slits work better for faster absorption into the outer diaper. I use a utility knife and usually put three rows of slits about 1/2" long, and it seems to work great without any diaper gel mess.

No, UPS, USPS, and Fedex don't check your packages (unless if they think it's a bomb or drugs or something). Even if they somehow knew the box was diapers I don't think they'd even give it a thought. Do ask for discreet packaging when you order, if you care about that. If you get a large package, you just pick it up from the person at the counter. If you paid for a mailbox, you'd get a slip for it, and if you send it general delivery, you just give them your name. Getting a case is the most economical way to go, and usually come in a box about 2/3 the size of a 2 drawer filing cabinet. It really isn't that hard... If you're uneasy about it, I recommend XP. They're good about shipping in plain boxes and giving you a tracking number so you know when they're coming. Good luck!

XP Medical will send things "general delivery" to a post office for you. Place an order as you normally would, choosing USPS as a shipping carrier, and when you fill out the shipping address put "General Delivery" in the street address field (along with the town and zip of the post office you wish to pick it up from, obviously). Wait a week or so, and head down to the post office and pick it up from the counter. Most post offices will require a photo ID for pickup. Simple as that.

New Years was great... We had 31 people show up from as far away as NYC, did a Yankee swap, had some food, did a champagne toast at midnight, and so on. I think the last of the crew finally went to bed around 5AM A lot of new people showed up, which was really cool (we even had a local AB ER doc show up on his midnight "lunch hour" to hang out for a bit), and everyone seemed to have a great time.

As a Maintenance guy I've seen quite a few older peoples' diapers, and even "discovered" some hidden unused and used (nasty) Goodnites buried in a kid's bedroom closet. It isn't uncommon to find them if you have to empty out a closet or something to make repairs. All that said, it's none of my business, so I just smile to myself knowing what I know, and get on with my work. I'd never bring it up with a tenant.

We're up to 20 people confirmed attending, and even a few new people! Should be a lot of fun!

Hey Ken... There is a separate post in this forum on the New Years event if you want to give it a look. Cheers!
