I don't know who needs to hear this*, but when you're washing dishes, you need to wash all the surfaces of every dish. The top and bottom of the plate, the inside and outside of the pot, the tines and handle of the fork, etc.
Grease and germs get everywhere. You can't see or feel them when the dish is wet. washing just the parts you think came into contact with food means you're leaving the dish dirty.

While we're on the subject, there is only one best way to wash dishes:

  1. Soak in bin to loosen caked-on dirt.
  2. Wet sponge and put soap ON SPONGE.
  3. WITH WATER OFF, use sponge on every surface of dish until it feels and looks clean.
  4. Put soapy dish in sink next to
  5. Occasionally turn on water briefly to moisten sponge; occasionally add soap to sponge.
  6. Continue steps 3-6 until there's no room for more soapy dishes.
  7. Rinse soapy dishes and put in drain.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 until done.

If you're running the water while you're washing the dishes, then (a) you're wasting a huge amount of water and (b) you're washing away the soap before it has a chance to lift the grease from the dish. So you're wasting soap and your dishes aren't getting clean.

How to Counter Provocation and Rumor:

Are there effective responses to being provoked, picked on, blamed, attacked? Absolutely—but they’re not all being taught or shared a lot. A few quotes that I’ve found useful.

Life hack: when an open WiFi (or maybe a website) demands your email address for access, go into your spam folder and grab an email address in the From field. Worked for me so far.

What do you do with your ashes from fire pit?

We save some for the garden but most go in the house

We put them, after they cool off completely, into mesh bags and then in containers with holes in them to suck up bad odor in rooms

Also, if you ever have an empty house, apartment, etc, plain charcoal will keep that vacant house smell at bay as it will suck the odor into the charcoal

Great odor control for nonenal smelling households, too, like geriatric or homebound homes. We do it

rogward,

Wednesday Life Hack.
Always keep a potato masher in a drawer. Because 'will-the-drawer-open?' roulette is as fun as Russian roulette but without the jeopardy.

I usually follow back, and really appreciate boosts.

@rogward this is just a cheat to get the Goddess Anoia to visit one's home.

Deciding and setting your intention has a huge impact on your results.

With that in mind, what is your theme for the week?

@scottlink Nice. Great for keeping warm in these winter months.

I seldom clean my home. I randomly clean things while doing other stuff, but only because I feel like it.

Yeh, I'm single, ok ok.

RainbowWarrior,

You have to open your eyes to wake up. So if you keep them closed you can sleep more.

wx1g,

@RainbowWarrior My eyes are almost never open. I've been dreaming for 61 years? Cool!

PSA: check if you updated your table of contents BEFORE you hand in your text.
Not a week after it, like I just did...

I handed in my last big uni paper with the table of contents still showing an emoji status for every chapter 🙈
(✍🏻 = in progress, ⏸️ = MVP/ I'm okay with this, ✅ = has been double-checked & vetted, 💩 = should probably delete / rewrite completely).
Luckily no 💩, but might still come off as a little unprofessional 😁

Kennt zufällig jemand billige, kann ich mit Stuff den dich eh herumliegen habe, bewerkstelligen Kabel hinter dem Schreibtisch verschwinden lassen ?

mrmay,

Does anyone else put emojis on their grocery list? Or, is that an odd thing only I do?

Further to that last boost, if you have to edit your own work in a document, shift the font to something different. Not Wingdings different, but just to different script. Read over it again, it’s MUCH easier to edit and improve that way, because your brain looks at it anew. Can’t remember who taught me that, but it’s SO useful.

bruce,

@alexkidman We would always print it out for the final proof/edit. The change of format really highlighted problems that you otherwise kept skipping over.

hollerpots,

Ok, I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but Hill's Science Diet premium cat food in gravy boxes are precisely sized for 3.5" floppy disks. You're welcome.
