a Dishwasher. . .mine died Saturday.
Bummer!
It had a good long life, so can't complain too much.

DH said it was my Christmas present.
I told him,
No" it was HIS Christmas present.


I went and bought it today
and it's to be installed on Wed.
Till then we'll continue to "rough it" and eat out for dinner each night.  No dishwashing chapped hands for this Bug!  LOL

This made me laugh, because I came home from Curves to find the sink empty. Dishes go directly into the dishwasher, but I was soaking 2 pots. DH remarked that the "dish washing fairy" had done them. I told him that the fairy was more than welcome to wash ANYTHING sitting in the sink on future days.

Here's how I got my 1st dishwasher -

I went to a 3 day PTA convention & left DH with 8 yr old and 10 mo old. When I returned home, the first thing he said was "we're getting a dishwasher. I've done nothing but wash dishes for 3 days. How can 2 people & a baby dirty so many dishes??" I just smiled and told him he was right, we did need an electric - not human- washer and we were off to Sears.

Better than half a can of paint. Nice present; you must be doing something good to keep your personal Santa happy with you.

Deb if you're like me that will make a great Xmas present. What kind did you get? I'm lucky my dh was able to install mine and I didn't have to wait.

Maybe I'll buy myself a new pair of rubber gloves!!! Nope, I don't have a dishwasher. Whenever I've rented a place that had one I felt like I was living in the lap of luxury. I'd love to have a dishwasher. Maybe when Oprah makes over my kitchen I'll get one! Ya' think?

We northern girls are a hardy lot, arent we. We shovel snow, salt the driveway, and wash dishes all by hand (lol). I did get rid of the ringer washer years ago, though.

Well, if you can rough it out and go out to dinner, I think that's a much better deal than a pair of rubber gloves. lol

Ah yes...the ringer washer...one step above beating the clothes on the rocks down on the river! Mama Blu got rid of the ringer washer when it sucked her left hand into the ringer and she had to have her wedding rings cut off her finger instead of having her finger cut off! Out went that old washing machine...which, by the way, was CHAINED to our front porch!!! If it hadn't been chained it would have rolled off the porch into the front yard which it did once or twice! LOL

Laundry day was really laundry week until we got our first agitator washer. Until then Mom and my aunt, who had 3 girls too, would do load and loads of wash and hang them out all week (in the basement if it was raining). Mom was pregnant with my first brother when Dad broke down and bought one of those new fangled agitator washers and a year later a dryer. You'd think she had won the lottery (l).
