We never had a dishwasher until a few years ago. Now we have a relatively new one -- three years? four years? and I have gradually learned that the dishwasher is not especially a labor saver. I really do have to do the presrinsing and scraping rigamarole, especially with greasy dishes, or the dishes come out with clumps of what I think must be saponified fat all over them. And I've been learning that the dishwasher itself needs a fair amount of cleaning. But -- even so, my belly doesn't get wet, I use less water, and the dishes are in general more clean, and they have been heat-sanitized which is a good idea when you have the dog prerinse the dishes for you.
I was thinking of giving up the cell phone but as it happens I do kind of need it. I still can't figure out how to pay less than $60-70 a month for two lines, minimal use, though.
