What are those blue pads I see in kidding pics?

Kinda off topic but wow.. ziplock baggies are a hard habit to break! LOL

There is a long discussion of getting plastic out of the kitchen over at www.sufficientself.com.....I still use ziplocs and some plastic wrap, but have reduced GREATLY. Feel free to go resurrect it and get the topic going again!

Don't think I have been to that site. I'll give it a look! Thanks

I suspect you'll enjoy it over there....buncha homesteader crunchy granolas and a few weirdos, but all in all, a nice bunch. I was describing myself, btw.

I also buy "gently used and laundered" washable hospital pads off ebay. (The cottony ones that are put under people after surgery etc) I have about 20 or so that I've reused for many years. I couldn't see new as they would immediately have blood and goo stains. Those are even better for birthing (I kneel on one too!), very absorbant and little bleach and hot water and almost good as new (wash like diapers). I remember them being pretty reasonable, the had different grades to choose from, I opted for a higher grade no stains but actually could have bought cheaper ones!
