Aloha Blaine, I have a dishwasher because my other half thinks it is his job to wash dishes and they are not clean. I've been washing dishes for more years than I am willing to admit here, but I assure you that I will never forget how. There are some items that I still wash by hand.
I must say that since we installed the dishwasher, my water bill has gone down $7 per month. My dishwasher does not require me to rinse the dishes before putting them in. I only have to make sure that there are no chunks of food on them. Betsy At 08:17 AM 3/30/2010, you wrote: > > >I actually like washing dishes but when there is company I load the >dishwasher.
