As to the proper title, "Benevolent Despot" will do.

Never used the Bellissimo, but I have used the Classico, and I've actually had excellent results with them. I found they hold much more, and leak

I don't know why it is, but I can be more alert and lucid after getting only four hours of sleep than I can after getting nine hours of sleep. I'm guessing you weren't very comfortable last night, were you? It might have been harder, then, to get a deep sleep.

Besides, it would do a lot to eliminate some of the lingering odors....

Here's an example of what I'm talking about--the "diaper cleaner" segment of this program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7hAyCZokJE. I wish there were an online list of places like that, that wash diapers for both adults and babies.

No, I don't mean anything like a nursery, though that would be nice. I mean like a cloth diaper service, a service that will either supply you with freshly laundered diapers once or twice a week, or at the very least wash ones that you provide.

I did. I meant a few

It's a type of weave, like birdseye.

Worse--and I realize DD is working on this--if I click on "New Content" to check on updates to topic I've already posted to, I find myself waiting as the site hangs...and hangs...and hangs. It used to be so easy to look that stuff up. Now I'm lucky if the page will load sometime that day.

I got it through my local med-supply store. About time--I'd been requesting one for years.

I've had cerebral palsy all my life.

Really? I wonder if there's a way to consolidate the two accounts, since the mods generally allow only one.

Well, I like to keep water handy, because I usually wake up with a dry throat from sleeping with my mouth open (at least when my pacifier drops out). I suppose I could use a more conventional flask like yours, but a baby bottle is a bit more fun. =

No, they don't live with me--they're here only an hour a day. But since they do the dishes for me and various light housekeeping, they do open my cabinets and drawers quite a bit. Consequently, I don't have very many hiding places that they never look through.

I've occasionally entertained the idea of coming out to everyone as an AB, but I don't want history to repeat itself. I told my home-health agency about me in the nineties, which backfired. They were so creeped out they didn't want me as a client after that. Of course, I was also transitioning male to female at the time, which didn't help. The two together were a bit high on their "weird" scale.

It's not buying the bottle that worries me. It's how my CNAs (certified nursing assistants--my caregivers) would react if they saw it. I'd be obligated to hide it, since only one of them so far knows about my being an AB. *Maybe* two others know about the pacifiers, because I explained them away successfully as a stress reliever. A baby bottle is not so easy to find an alternate explanation for. I'd have to admit to being an AB to all of them.

Unlike the first person I spoke of, I don't think this person made the leap to my being an AB, or indeed knows such people exist. Should she ask, I'll probably fall back on my "therapeutic reasons" excuse.

Same issue, different person....

Is there any specific act of idiocy to which you're referring?

No, but now that you mention it, that wouldn't be a bad idea. =)

Oooh, it seems as though I would have had more fun at your party--I love all the play equipment! Did you bring your doll too?

I did worry that someone at the party might have been kink-aware enough to get that I'm an adult LG. Maybe it's better that I chickened out of bringing my pacifier.

At $6.50 apiece, I'll have to do it very slowly....

Yeah, that's probably it. Who wouldn't love Rainbow Dash? =)

A picture will be forthcoming,I assure you. If I send it to you personally rather than posting it generally, it won't be picked up in image searches, will it?

And thanks, by the way, for re-sending your friend request. My intention was never to disappear, only to take a sabbatical of a couple of days.

square duck: I'd use Bambino *diapers* exclusively if I could afford them, let alone the boosters. Cheap Attends are all I can get through Medicaid, though.
