Why Trump’s Dishwasher Diatribe Matters

Pretty much the same here.  When my wife first got here she looked at it and said "what is this?". Then she says "can we get rid of it?" 

My wife will still hand wash if there are just a couple of items, but generally it all goes into the dish washer.

 

Last year her parents came and they insisted on hand washing everything to help us out.  I hated it because everything they washed felt greasy after.

 

  We mostly do that too. My wife can't sleep at night if there's a dirty dish in the house, and I make big deal about running the dishwasher if it's not half full. If it was me. I would just leave the dirty ones in the dishwasher till morning, but I know that's never going to happen.

Do I belong to the only household in that has a working (automatic) dishwasher?

Dishwashers  use 1/5 of the water and deliver superior sanitation. 

 

The Bosch 500/800 series is a stellar appliance starting at $750 (and quiet).

 

As far as the current president weighing in on household chores and energy efficiency, give me a break. You can bet that the man hasn't washed a dish in his adult life and has zero credibility in this area.  He really should focus on a cure for windmill caused cancer.

Our Bosh does half loads too... Everything, but a few heirlooms, go in. Runs at night, emptied by hubby in the morning.  

 

Less than $5 per day (if it lasted only for a year, but it's already 5-6 years old...), to save water, and time. Count me in.

No, dishwashers have never worked OK since their invention. And if you have a problem with your current dishwasher, it has little to do with the gallon allowance inside.

What kind of dishwasher are you using? 

 

Restaurants use dishwashers and dishes are clean and sparkling, no? 😐

I put my hands up and admit that for pretty much my entire first marriage I didn't touch a dish (housekeeper), but pre-marriage to Voldy and after, I have mostly used a dishwasher -- only handmade pieces from Alex's mum's studio and the fine china gets hand washed. Was I supposed to notice that dishwashers suck? Or toilets? I mean, if you are not able to flush it down with one flush on a standard toilet, you have bigger problems than low flow. I hear a lot of KFC value meals will do that to you.

KFC only since Chick-fil-a has appeased SJW types and Popeye's is too "Urban"

I've yet to find a restaurant that has sparkling and clean offerings. 

 

Like my MiL sometimes I have the urge to go back to a kitchen and give someone a piece of my mind..

But didn't KFC have a female Col. Sanders at one point? I feel like I hallucinated Reba McEntire wearing a white suit (it was during a kind of weird point in my life involving a lot of jet lag every other week, so v possible).

Divorce... and, if lucky, by prenup.

He's a builder who has interacted with tenants.

He looks at government-spawned inefficiencies to correct and regulations to waive.

 

Of most importance (and of least, if not zero, understanding among opponents), he's popular because he does things that Regular, Normal People would do if THEY could win an election.  Hence, talking about dishwashers.

It goes without mentioning (or should) that the correct -- and, indeed, the only -- pronunciation of the word is "dishwarsher."

common gas can [...] special spouts [...] spouts don't work

Best place to find cans with working ones are at modern estate sales, moving-sales, and some garage sales.

I was very pleased to have found a 5-gal. can with an easy spout, just late last year.

You can buy replacement "normal" spouts on amazon, and if you have a plastic gas jug there is a nice vent kit that's easy to add.  That's what i did.
