omg, wine and whine sounds like the best neighborhood event ever. I really hope that we buy into a neighbory neighborhood. I think it will help that I won't be working for a month or so and plan to try adn do yard stuff in the mornings.

I am getting the last word by saying nothing to her.
I pre-rinse because we don't run the dishwasher every day. I think that the Seventh Generation guy is not washing poopy things when he suggests washing clothes without soap.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I only started the taking-things-apart approach recently, when my dishes were never getting clean, thinking it was a one-time need. Turns out, it works but doesn't last too long. I could probably avoid it if I was willing to pre-rinse or be more selective about what goes in the dishwasher, but I am more willing to take the thing apart.

Seventh Gen isn't good for cloth diapers anyway because of the enzymes & brighteners. (I use soap nuts.)
I want a dishwasher.

Man, a huge gust just blew a shitload off the roof.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At this point, I probably put half of my things in the dishwasher, and it is still awesome! I wash coffee cups and plates etc. about once a week.

When we first moved into our apartment, the dishwasher would leave my stuff gritty. I complained and the maintenance guy fixed it. The food trap was apparently full of gunk and simply cleaning that made it all better - haven't had a problem since. But it keeps me pre-rinsing so that I don't clog it and recreate the problem.

I am a little surprised that they are not making a decision about NYPS for tomorrow, yet. Maybe by the 6pm news?

How much have you gotten? It's coming down a little harder here, but nothing has accumulated.

My dishwasher is for shit -- it especially can't clean anything at all greasy. Like my butter knife, say. But maybe that's the store brand detergent I've been putting in it? Unclear.
Our old dishwasher used to do that, it was that the water wasn't hot enough. With our new dishwasher, though, it gets plenty hot. I almost cried with joy the first time I unloaded the dishes from that thing.
