Abundant healing and coping~ma to Bob, lisah, with an extra dose of coping for you.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

State is having to import salt via the port. It's also gotten darker recently. I was shocked how bright it was earlier.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've accidentally run the dishwasher without soap and everything seemed just about as clean.
I have just made the decision to switch back from the green dishwasher detergent because it was requiring too much pre- and post-washing. I can't imagine what it would be like with no detergent at all.
Lisah, I'm vibing for the best outcome possible for Bob.

I just shoveled another foot of snow off the sidewalk while the baby slept. And a nook for the dog to do what she's got to do.
I can haz Spring now?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Consumer Reports had a blurb recently about how you don't need to pre-rinse with dishwashers. Ha! I think both that and failing to use dish soap only works for newer dishwashers.

NWS just changed to predicted totals: 20-30"
I don't think I am getting off the street until the weekend. We'll have to shovel all day tomorrow. And possibly Friday.

I have a pretty new dishwasher--I think it was new when I moved in 3 or 4 years ago. But stuff was coming out with a film on it with the green detergent, and with more crud. And that was with me always using the overflow cup. Without that extra, it wasn't even worth running. The first shot was not a representative test.

Wow. The woman who told me she didn't believe people were paying full price just emailed me again (I didn't answer her last time) to tell me she just re-read my email that she now thinks I don't understand her.
Um, lady? Just pay your nanny.

Unless you have severely-soiled, like "crawling-around-in-mud" dirt caked on your clothes, it's quite OK to use half the recommended amount of detergent, which is less harsh to the fabric and will save wear and tear on your clothes, too.
Sort of why "shampoo, rinse, repeat" is standard advice on shampoo bottles. Not because it gets your hair that much cleaner, but that way you use it twice as fast and buy more.
