And a few times, they didn't even want the item back (I buy too much from them I suppose). I ordered a tool set that clearly stated "SAE (inches)" in the listing. I got a metric one. They just refunded my money. I ordered the SAE sockets for it seperately, now I have both.

Norton gave my computer autism.

We were going to RV out to California with some friends (their RV), but they decided that give the price of diesel, they'd hang out closer to home. The thing gets about 6 MPG (41' class A).

We call it a "serger" here. That's way cool. You're getting quite handy. I'm kind of beholden to the rectugular diapers as that's what I remember from growing up. After I cornered all the diaper fabric I could find at stores in the area, my wife made me a couple of dozen prefolds (rectangular with additional layers in the center section) which I used for years (especially after getting laid off and not being able to afford to buy disposables for a while). What I really want is something like a bubble romper scaled up to my size. I have one that I bought years ago off ebay/etsy but the current available designs are a bit more frilly than I like and very expensive (we've got a decent sewing machine, but a serger is probably out of our price range. I've got a friend who has one, but I'd not really like to explain what I would be doing with it if I were to borrow it, even if I knew what I was doing with it).

Yeah, I've been using AI to illustrate a lot of my stories. I've also done some videos where the people talk... I posted some here before.

Grok, but you have to craft the query such that it's content filters don't block you. If I just tell it to make a movie out of your image, it refuses. If I say "make her roll around" it did the above.

While I could see certain "adult diapers" (back then rectangular pin on cloth things) in the Sears catalog, at 14 or so, I had no way to obtain them. I used old towels (stolen from the Chez Paris Resort Motel in Miami Beach) and safety pins to form the diapers and then cut leg holes in a garbage bag to make plastic pants. It was several years later that I got a pair of real plastic pants (after realizing they had them at some pharmacies, but these things had horendous pad things that never worked for me, so I stayed with using towels). It was when I was in college that I found the early disposable (rectangular fan fold things like the early pampers).

Negative. Nap in that sense comes from the Dutch. Nappy and napkin come from the French rooted back into meaning table cloth.

The boss closed the door and sat down. “I’ve been watching you and Kelly since you each got back from Pleasant Acres. I’ve decided to make some changes now. I’ll have all the affected parties in shortly, but I wanted to tell you personally, first.” Jim silently nodded, not knowing where this was going. “Kelly’s development has really taken off. I like how she’s stepped in for Vic and made good decisions, including sending Meagan off to PA. I think he’s going to make a good Director of Engineering.” There Jim had it. Director of Engineering was his job. He was being replaced. He felt a pain in his stomach. “That leaves what I’m going to do with you. I think I have the perfect thing.” Jim was still nervous. He thought about Pam. Without thinking, he blurted out, “Can I keep Pam with me?” The boss smiled. “Of course. In fact, Pam and Kathy have found an assistant for Kelly. Pam wanted to stay with you, as well. I guess you’ve figured out what’s coming next.” “Actually, sorry. No, I haven’t. I mean, I like my job, but if the company decides that there’s another role they'd rather have me in. I’ll do my best to make everything successful.” He hoped that sounded positive, not like sour grapes about being reassigned. The boss grinned. “I don’t think you do understand. You see, I’m going for a little touch-up work at Pleasant Acres and then I’m on to bigger things. I’m leaving the company.” “I’ll be sorry to see you go,” Jim said sincerely. “You probably might at that,” the Boss said. The awkward pause continued, but finally the boss broke the quiet. “You still haven’t figured it out?” “No.” “You’re replacing me.”

Work progressed. Pam continued to work at the office, keeping him organized, changing diapers, and occasionally offering to nurse him. He had tried asking her out or over to his apartment a few times, but she told him that it was too soon to be thinking about such things. One morning, Kelly came into his office. “How are things going on the project?” Jim asked. “Good, I wanted to bounce something off you.” “Shoot.” “Well, I’ve had an opportunity to work with each person on Vic’s team. There’s one woman, Meagan, who I think has great potential, but she’s timid and indecisive,” Kelly paused to see if Jim was going to pick up on the hint. “I think she could be greatly helped by Pleasant Acres,” she finally stated. “Of course, I think we should wait until Vic gets back and bounce it off him, and there’s no point in further depleting the team. I’m good, but I’m still getting up to speed on that.” Jim just nodded. Kelly’s ideas were sound, and his suggestions on how to handle things were just as he would have done.” “Sounds good,” Jim said. “I’ll talk to Pam about it and see if she can get the ball rolling. You’re right on both points about waiting for Vic.” Kelly excused herself, and Pam entered the office. “Kelly was just telling me that Meagan in Vic’s group would be a good candidate for PA. Of course, we both agree that waiting until Vic gets back would be best and to let him make the call,” Jim explained. “Sounds great. I’ll get details from Kelly. On that subject, I heard from them that Vic should be back next week.” Excellent, Jim thought to himself. “Kathy Woods and I have to go offsite this afternoon to see about a new hire for the company; I hope you won’t be too inconvenienced,” Pam explained. “No, I should be fine.” “Do you need a diaper change before I go?” “I’m fine.” She left briefly and returned with a small insulated bag. “I pumped these for you.” Jim opened the bag and saw there were two baby bottles inside. He tilted them to see that they contained Pam’s milk. “I didn’t want you to go hungry.” Jim smiled and told her he’d see her when she got back. Jim continued working, then took a stroll to the little deli in the next building. He returned to his office and started to eat at his desk. He remembered Pam’s gift and went and latched the door. He pulled out a bottle to drink with his sandwich. It was late in the day when Pam returned. She said their visit had been successful, but wouldn’t elaborate further. She also declined the offer of a drink after work. Jim sighed, grabbed the case with the remaining bottle, and headed home. Monday came, and Jim had Vic see him first thing. “How was Pleasant Acres?” “A bit unsettling at first,” Vic admitted. “But I think it did a world of good for me. I’m ready to dive back into work.” “Great,” Jim said. He called Kelly and asked her to come in. “Hi, Vic,” Kelly said. Vic did a double-take as he had not seen the transformed Kevin yet. “Hi, umm…” “Kelly,” she said. “I presume Jim called me up here to let you know what has been happening with your team while you were gone.” “That would be a good thing,” Vic agreed. “OK, you too can delve into the details after this meeting,” Jim interrupted. “I have one issue to discuss with you both. Jim thinks that Meagan could benefit from Pleasant Acres.” Vic thought for just a few seconds and replied, “Most definitely.” “OK, I’ll give you guys a few days to get things settled down, and we’ll see about sending her.” They both left the room. That would keep Kevin busy for a couple of days. Now he wondered where he would assign him next. Maybe another team leader could use a stint at PA. No, he thought, nobody really needed it right away. A knock came at the door. To his surprise, Jim saw it was his boss. “I need to talk to you.” This sounded ominous.

We headed over to my place. I pulled my diaper bag out of the car, and Pam took hers out. We went to the changing table and set to changing each other. After they changed they left their pants off and headed in just shirts and diapers into the living room. “What do you want to do about food. I have to say I don’t have much right now in the fridge.” Jim asked. “We could order something in. Pizza?” Pam replied. Jim set out to order the pizza. “It’s just down the street. Be here in 20 minutes or so.” The food arrived, and they set to eating. When they were finished, Pam came to him. “Would you like some milk?” Jim smiled and unbuttoned her blouse. She moved to the sofa, sat down, and let Jim get comfortable at her breast. As she suckled, Pam stroked his hair. A while later he awoke. It was dark, but he was still in Pam’s lap. “You’re awake, sleepy head?” Pam asked. “What happened?” “You fell asleep. Don’t worry, I don’t mind. Let me put you to bed.” She led him to the bedroom and placed him under the covers. She went over to the changing table, picked up her pants, and pulled them on. “You’re not staying?” Jim asked. “I still think it is risky at this point. Soon, it will be easier for us.” “Oh, OK,” Jim said, somewhat disappointed. Pam kissed him and then smoothed the blankets over him. “Just relax, it will be better soon.” Jim, comforted, drifted off to sleep. The next day, Jim woke up, far from comforted. He was nervous. What wasn’t Pam telling him? Were they going to replace him with Kevin, er uh, Kelly? Were they going to fire him? No, they wouldn’t do that. They spent a lot of money on him. Pleasant Acres couldn’t be cheap. Maybe they’d reassign him to a special project. Maybe they’d reassign Pam. Neither really appealed to him. He liked being in management now, he had to admit. Yeah, he could still get his technical hands dirty when he wanted to, but he liked working with the team leads across all the projects. It gave him a sense of accomplishment. He also loved having Pam as his assistant. He was getting several times more stuff done with her help, not just the diaper changing assistance. Still he was beginning to think he loved her, and he’d want her in his life even if it wasn’t at work. “Relax, Jim,” he told himself. “Go with the flow.” This is what the time at Pleasant Acres was all about, right? Pam wasn’t worried, it seemed. He shouldn’t.

Shortened to "pram" in common speak. The origin is from the Latin to meaning walk around in.
