My wet dreams
The one recurring
Dream I have usually goes like this.
I am running from one
restroom to another each one
of them is either
blocked and overflowing
,is under repairs or when
I enter the restroom
the toilet bowl is either
too small for me to use or it
is disconnected somehow .
After a few turns going around like this I wake up with a
full bladder and have to go to bathroom.
I used to be a very deep sleeper when I was
young so much so my mother had a
tough time waking me up from sleep
during morning to get me ready for school. (Getting ready for school in
those days was totally different from
what it is now a days, another blog post on that some other time)
Due to either my deep sleep
or due to some immature neuronal
pathways I used to have a bed wetting
problem when I was a child.
Even today when I am 60 years old
the one fear I
have is
that I might go back to
wetting my bed/i.e. lose
control of my bladder . I do not
have fears of losing control of my bowel
increasing number
of advertisements for adult diapers (they are no longer called adult
diapers in advertisements)
and only a very
few show
couples who look like they are really wearing them all others are like
those airbrushed play boy penthouse
center spread models totally phony.
By the way does anyone know how many designer brands of depends are marketed ?
Why Are
Baby Diapers Named ‘Luvs’ While Adult Diapers Are Named ‘Depends’? – ‘The Why’

Welcome to the newest
edition of The Why. “Why are baby diapers named ‘Luvs’,
‘Huggies’ and ‘Pampers’ while adult diapers are named ‘Depends’?” you ask?
That’s a good question. It’s probably one of those questions from a stand-up
comedy routine but that’s OK. (It’s better than answering the question: “Why do
they call my autistic little brother Special K when that’s a diet cereal and
not a kid’s cereal?”)

It seems that no one
knows why “Luvs” are called “Luvs”. Ditto for “Huggies”. Neither brand
mentioned anything on their websites.
A gal named Christa who
writes for HighNames.com was wondering about the origins of diaper names including
“Pampers”. She had no more luck than yours truly.
She admitted: “I
couldn’t find an article or anything. So this is where I am going to put my
opinion forward and suggest that the key to the answer lies in the English
language. Many brands are named based on simple ideas. And my assumption of the
Pampers brand name is that the name simply describes the qualities of the
modern disposable diaper.”
Seriously, think about
it. Someone is cleaning up your crap and wiping your butt for you. How much
more pampered can you be?
She and your clever
columnist were both left to consider the English language itself. As she
pointed out “pampers” basically “means to feel comfortable, to be spoiled. And
this is exactly what Pampers is – a comfortable diaper which spoils both the
baby and the people taking care of it.”
There was no clue as to
the origins of the name “Depends” either. (Which must mean some of you guys ask
some odd questions but y’all already know that, don’t ya?)

Here is the popular
explanation, at any rate. When babies take a toxic waste dump in their little
diapers, people will still “luv” them “hug” them and “pamper” them.
When very old people
take a dump in their pants, whether or not anyone takes care of them and cleans
up after them “depends” on who is in
their will.
(At least now you know a
little more than most people.)
You ask the questions. We provide the answers.
