I never refilled pens with ink from a bottle, but I certainly washed diapers. Pampers were just starting to make their way onto the market and they were frowned upon and the general consensus was that only lazy people would use them on their babies. My son is now 43 and I washed his cloth diapers (in a washing machine) and dried them on the line and I took pride in that, they spelled so fresh and clean. But I also have no problem with people using pampers today, it's technology and progress and you have to have that to move forward and in today's hurried society people don't have time to do things the old fashioned way and shouldn't have to. We've all had our modern conveniences and wave of the future technology during our prime time, even the tiny screen TV was a big deal at one point in time.
