City water is heaven

I've struggled with stink/ammonia/etc you name it with our hard well water.

I rocked a soak in RNG the first day here, NO STINK!!!

I used an entire packet of tiny bubbles the other day and after 3 wash cycles there was no suds (I'm still experimenting how much detergent I need)

Before I was using 1 TEASPOON of tide and still struggling to get the suds out after 4 wash cycles.  I think my water was so screwy with the softener and yet all the iron that it was just making the soap suds like crazy and we all know suds means nothing for how well a detergent actually cleans.  I don't think 1tsp of detergent was cleaning my diapers at all.

To my boys:  I will love you for you Not for what you have done or what you will become I will love you for you I will give you the love The love that you never knew

    Whohoo! We are moving overseas in a month and I am terrified of what it might do to my diapers. The water there isn't potable so... don't know if that will cause issues or not on any MF that I have. Can't afford to replace it all before we go...

We often live and work in dangerous places among those that misunderstand our intentions and purposes. Sometimes members of our ranks sacrifice our lives to further diplomacy.  Please remember that we serve too. And I'm always open to questions.
