There's currently an article on Slashdot - Advice you would give to your 12-year-old self?

Here's mine:

1. You really are likeable, and you WILL find friendship and love, even if it doesn't feel like it.
2. Follow the advice of people you like and trust. The people you don't like don't know what you're capable of.
3. Find your interests and follow them. Start looking at alternatives to normal high school early. Don't worry about trying to follow the schedule the counselors set - it isn't right for you, and you'll just end up beating your head against a brick wall.
4. Really try to stick with karate. You're not doing as awfully as you feel, and you'll regret it every time you stop.
5. Don't try to do one-night stands unless you're 100% sure that everyone involved is clear on the one-night part.

Since every single person who has commented on my cloth diaper post both on-journal and off has suggested a diaper service, I'll go ahead and respond with a post instead of to each person individually :)

We are looking into it, especially during the month before we move - the laundry room here is coin operated, often too crowded, and just far enough away to be annoying. Laundry has, in the past year and a half, changed from one of my more tolerable chores to a source of never-ending torture. I think I just might go insane trying to do cloth diapers here along with everything else that comes with being a new mother and moving.

When we move, a washing machine is one of my top priorities :)

We're also looking into elimination communication. Sounds like it's at least worth a try. That's unlikely to cut down on the diaper laundry short term, but, if it works, it would in the long run.

(And if you tell me I'm naive or crazy, I'm just not going to listen to you. So there :)
