btw, you should rinse if you have a septic system or you want your dishwasher to last longer...dishwashing grog here.

If you mean pre-rinse the crud off of the dishes before going into the dishwasher, I do that already. I see where that would help the wear and tear on the washer but not the septic. The pre-rinse water is now added to the load from the washer making for more stress on the septic system, not less.

Oh the humanity! A thread about the successor to Steel Panthers derailed by talk about domestic chores! ;)

(BTW, I too wash dishes as a small way to show the wife I love her. Much respect to you and your parenting Stagger)

The large chunks will go down the drain of a dishwasher and risk causing problems in the tank...not breaking down.  In a sink, you should have a special disposal that will grind it very fine.  Some dishwashers have the ability to grind that stuff up, but not fine enough.

Don't question my dishwashing prowess.  I was trained by a master dishwasher...my wife.  You don't want to be on her bad side.

I wish my wife would buy me a dishwasher!  :'(

I don't really understand the whole concept of washing dishes. Aren't they just going to get dirty again? Also paper plates NEVER need washing, thus saving the environment. Or if you have a dog, you never need to wash the dishes. A good dog. A cat won't do, they're too damned picky.

Some day over a beer I'll have to share a story about the editor of a wargaming site and a high profile publisher in the industry and one of their sidebar conversations.

You are doing it wrong. Your wife IS the dishwasher.

She can't wash dishes and destroy my masculinity at the same time.

*sigh* Let's get this back on topic guys.  By "rinse" obviously we mean what happens towards the end of the cycle when the machine gets rid of the suds prior to drying.  The practice of pre-washing the "chunks" is completely different and belongs in its own thread.

My wife washes dishes (not as much or as good as I do) but she has destroyed my masculinity. Come on over and check out our fireplace mantle some time.

Is there a new jar up there to keep the other one company?

He's telling us the dog was a metaphor.

Or maybe her pet name for him is "Dog"?

[Gusington]

She has many pet names for me but Dog aint one.

Come on over!

[Staggerwing]

Over what?

[LongBlade]

Over what?

Our girls, of course.
