Have you seen the articles against rinsing kitchenware ultimately destined for the dishwasher anyway?

I knew NOTHING of the sort!

Yes, I have heard that before, but it seems to be especially true for the newer dishwashers. I just wonder how new. We still rinse up north because we have a septic system on this property so I don't need to be asking for any problems. Besides, our dishwasher here is old and I wouldn't trust it. If it was up to my husband everything would be handwashed, but I say NO, NOTHING, NADA to that.

How about Nucky's Nothing Island Tales?

Yep.. Us country folk with septic systems have to be a little more careful. Besides, with just the two of us, we don't run the dishwasher but maybe once every four or five days. If we didn't rinse the dishes things would start to smell NOTHING but unpleasant.

I could mention them to Mary Ann. I mean Dawn Wells. They are NOTHING but amusing.

You're not trying to stir up any trouble with your references to Mary Ann now, are you? :icon_twisted:

The one thing I love about this NOTHING thread is that I can come up with so many uses for these emoticons.....:laugh:

But I digress -

I wouldn't want you getting yourself in NOTHING but trouble, Tal.

Wasting water has been a thing for me since I started paying the bill. My wife spray's bleach on the dishes before she hand washes them and only recently started using our dishwasher every couple of day's.

Everyone except me would start the shower water then brush their teeth, brush their hair, straighten up the bathroom or something while letting the water warm up. Nothing good about that. I shave with cold water which turns to warm water which brings the warm water towards the bathroom then when I'm done get in the shower and the water is warm within seconds. I turn off the water while soaping up this beautiful Carcass and then back on with the water to rinse off. Little waste. I also turn off the light on our doorbell at night. (Only Kidding). I am now cheap I just have some habits that were implanted in me when I was young that have stuck with me.

I am going to start a Go Fund Me account so I can get a Charitable Deposit into my Nothing Account because I am still obviously having a hard time remembering to incorporate Nothing into the conversations. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.

We have a late-breaking report about a Barrel going over Niagara Fall's with a Gigantic W painted on the side? Could it be??? Nah!

The game-plan is Nothing more than washing those dishes in the trunk of the beloved DeerMoble.

I had to prove that it is better to use the dishwasher than hand wash for disinfectant :sigh: reason. Thats when I found out about the bleach on the plates and utensil. :sigh::sigh:

It makes sense to me to save time and effort which is Nothing more than the original reason for a dishwasher. Otherwise we would be washing the dishes down at the river and living in an old van. (Saturday Night Live). :jester:

If you want to save water and energy get a tankless water heater. It only heats water when you tell it to. We have ours set to recirculate hot water at 5:00am. That way the water at the faucet is already hot when we turn it on.. But it can also have it's downside. We never run out of hot water. That can lead to NOTHING but endless showers.. lol

Don't be telling Nucky that. Now he'll be looking in Fenney for a new house again. They started putting in tankless water heaters down there in the new houses.

Speaking of Nucky, he sounds a lot like my husband who likes to, as he calls it, "make a dollar holler". I bet the 2 of them would have a blast sharing their money saving tactics. Oh boy, I'm probably asking for NOTHING but trouble.

I can see it now.. Your hubby and Nucky hanging out discussing how to save money while you and Mrs. K go shopping.. NOTHING but funny..

They can meet Mrs. Nucky at the store. Shopping is an Olympic Event. Nothing but valuable stuff. Feng Shui is the name of the game. :a20:

And leave all of you alone to congregate together - now that would be NOTHING but scary, especially if Gilligan and Big Al show up....lol

I have mentioned Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) for a long time on Talk of the Villages as she was Miss Nevada in 1959 and lived in Reno as did I up to just after Memorial Day weekend in 1983 when I left to study to get a MA at the U of Denver Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management. With a few return trips on school holidays and then to help my parents move from Reno, NV to Scottsdale, AZ after I had graduated and hung around to go to an American Library Convention in 1984 in Dallas, Texas.

Anyway Private Message on Facebook sent to Dawn Wells for NOTHING's Nucky. If someone comes on here claiming to be Dawn Wells and praising Nucky's creativity who also is a new poster on TOTV, it could be Dawn Wells.

I gave it a college try.
