[blparent] Cloth Diapers Anyone?

[Robert Cole]

Hello, Jo.

I didn't think you were trying to argue with me. <smile> I wrote as I 
did because I did not want to come across as though I had all of the 
answers in any particular area. I do not know if this is the case for 
you, but for me I have a lot of trouble with e-mail correspondence. 
Maybe I am over-analytical, but I can usually tell which route a 
conversation si going by the tone of a person's voice when I am talking 
with someone; when it comes to e-mail this is entirely the opposite. 
That is why I always try to choose my wording carefully because I do not 
want to write something which sounds as though I am the omniscient 
authority on any particular subject because I honestly feel that the 
more I learn, the less I know. <smile>

We never purchased through diapers.com. I actually did not know about it 
until you mentioned it. We have a Costco membership here in Modesto, and 
so my wife would pick up diapers when she would make her monthly Costco 
trip. As you mentioned, out of all the brands we found that the Kirkland 
diapers were the best. They would also have sales on them in the store, 
discounting $10 or more off of the price at times.

I was skeptical of places like Sam's Club when we lived back east, but I 
am sold on the whole membership deal nowadays. Costco is definitely a 
great place to shop.
