No one I know over here rinses the dishes. They fill the sink with hot soapy water, wash the dishes in it and then stack them to drip dry without rinsing. We have a dishwasher, and our kids do the dishes now. They alternate...one sets the table, the other does the dishes, then the next night they switch.

How do you not rinse soapy water dishes? Yuck! I wash all our pots and pans by hand, but the dishes all go in the dishwasher.

Well that's the good thing about the Stephanie Plum series, you can read just one, or you can read the whole series. I've read all of them because I'm addicted... I probably only have an hour maybe 2 to go on the book I got Tuesday. LOVE that series!

I’ve read a few of the Stephanie Plum books and enjoyed them.

Sometimes they literally make me LOL, which is a great thing!

Hoping for a nice trip for @93boomer and her hubby. I think it's today that they're driving down to WDW.

Thanks Minnie but we leave tomorrow.

Very true... if your parents don't know it either, how can they teach you?

It's difficult, but they teach you by learning themselves. My mom was an excellent cook but didn't teach me how. So I have to learn to cook to teach A to cook. Same with gardening. And some car things.

Jasmine is an unfortunate anomally. She came from a litter of ten. She has never properly groomed and won't let Belle interfere or teach her. She's overweight, so that doesn't help. She's also got this double coat that she never gets clean, and she hates being combed or brushed. So we bathe her, comb her in the bath, and she looks much better.

Maybe you could just spray her with Fabreeze....

She's afraid of squirt bottles, so...

They have spray shampoo for pets we use with the fosters a lot. The dogs are not fond of spray bottles either so I kinda have to hold them down a bit for it. You can also get dry shampoo from Ulta but it's a bit more expensive.

My first car was a 77 chevy malibu....the gas filler pipe was behind the license plate.

My first car was also a Chevy Malibu!! I think mine was a 1997

We have that too. Just between Jasmine's temperament and the way her coat is, popping her in the sink is easier. I've used the spray shampoo on Belle before when she's gotten something on her fur.

My daughter does this to me. Half my suitcase is usually her life jacket

I guess I can be glad that we don’t have that to pack. I hate packing when it’s cooler weather. Between thicker shirts and jeans, it takes up lots of space. I need bigger suitcases!

When you're leaving from cold weather to hot it's tricky because you still have to pack that thick clothing for your return. Layers everywhere!

If everyday is stupid people day, today would be king. Someone just asked why an auto payment wasn't a receipt.
