What pray tell is a dish cloth... don't you mean a dish rag, the evil
schmatah poor folks used to use during the '40s and '50s for washing
dishes etc... you don't even wanna know the etceteras... but just
think of the days pre disposible diapers and feminine sanitary
napkins.

Other day on the local nooze (Chicawgo, Channel 7) there was a story about a
young hippie - ish family that's gone the "green" route. Not only do they
use cloth diapers, but they have eschewed friggin' TERLIT paper! These
blissninnies use pieces of CLOTH to wipe their arses, these go into a
container thingy by the loo for eventual washing and re - use...

Ye gawds, I almost PUKED...

Some things are simply false "economy"...

Wow, what a waste. Everyone know you use your hand and then just rinse
after.

btw, I knit my own dish cloths and sew my own baby diapers and made ALL of
my children's baby food.
I have children that were never "potty trained" but started using the
bathroom on their own before age 2 and children who love to try new foods.

Quite right, quite right!

I didn't catch the "gladrags" ref, though I should have, being old enough to
have experienced the beginnings of R&R. I'm in complete agreement
about the "sparked a revolution" claim about that song. Never really
"caught me", but I'm aware of its historical significance and you are dead
on. Thanks for that excellent trip down geezer lane.
