I am married to my dhishwasher. When he had his 6-way bypass, I considered just going out an buying a dishwaasher what he was not around to yelp. Then I thought about the fact that I used my old Fostoria goblets - don't want those in the dishwasher, I use antique Steubenville China - not sure if that could take a dishwasher, I use silverplate flatware - not sure about putting that in the dishwasher... That leaves only the Pfaltzgraff that can go in the dishwasher for sure. So he is back doing his job and I will no longer say that after I verify he is dead, I will call Sears for a dishwasher before I call the meat wagon. I do have my priorities but upon reflection discovered my priority was useless.
We have, in case anyone is wondering, a plastic tub of bleach water that all guest dishes go through before getting to the drainer to air dry to meet the Health Dept rules..
