I haven't washed the dishes since December 23rd.

The dirty dishes are all over the kitchen but I don't care. I wash a dish or a fork or a pot when I need one.

I have a dishwasher but the rubber plumbing (not the dishwasher) failed and I can't be bothered to fix the rubber plumbing (although I know how to fix it, I think).

What about you? What dishwashing liquid do you prefer? I prefer Palmolive; I now have two bottles but don't use them because they are too precious and when I received them via Amazon on Dec 28th I was so happy I thought, "mission accomplished".

I observe the dirty bowls and plates (with old solidified Dakota baked beans sauce) as I type this. But I don't care.

I thought of getting paper dishes and plastic silverware but I can't be bothered.

Tell me how you do the dishes, or not.

Palmolive has this light purple, violet dishwashing liquid. The scent is so dreamy that washing dishes by hand is rewarding! I also add it to a spray bottle w/water & few drops of bleach. Add a bit in the washing machine. Mopping wood floors just to enjoy the scent.

There has to be a reward or I'm not involved

The original scent ofTide gets me off of my ass as well. Just offer yourself an immediate reward for motivation. Trick yourself

Thank you. I will go to the diner tomorrow at 7am for 2 donuts and coffee : no dishes to wash; I might pick up a deputy for a blow job again.

So guys, I do need help with the dishwashing, I appreciate that; otherwise I am a total top. What do you think I do first: (a) repair the rubber issues on my dishwasher; or (b) wash the dishes.

by Anonymousreply 22February 24, 2021 2:14 AM

I've been in the same situation as you OP. My landlord won't fix my dishwasher. I finally washed my sink full of dishes and now only use paper plates/bowls

I bake almost everything. I just put down a sheet of tin foil. I only use a pot if food is liquid and can't be baked

by Anonymousreply 23February 24, 2021 2:15 AM

I’d wash the dishes first the. Repair the dishwasher after because it may be messy.

Before I bought a dishwasher, I did what R23 did.

I ordered a ton of paper plates and bowls from Amazon, and disposable silverware, and ate off that. Cooked everything on foil sheets.

Handwashing dishes is one of the worst tortures known to man.

Dishes are for those who control their portions, OP. Do what I do -- spread out a big blue tarp (or a Slip-N-Slide will do), go to town, and hose it off in the back yard. Much easier.

Buy a nicely scented detergent, put on soft music and wash them.

Good lord, wash the damn dishes, OP.

I wash the dishes at least once, but usually twice a day. I have a dishwasher, but I don't use it. I don't like it, and I have too many things that can't go in it anyway.

I use solid dish soap - actual soap. I used to buy it, but it was way cheaper to just make it myself. I made three batches of 100% coconut oil soap with 0% superfat. I scented the batches, one rain, one rose, one lily of the valley. Each batch made four cubes of soap that last a little over two months each - so I won't need to make more for a couple of years.

I have double sinks, and I fill the rinse sink with hot water, and dissolve one tablespoon of citric acid in it to neutralize the PH and help prevent spots.

For washing I use 100% cotton scrubbers that are two layer tunisian crochet. I made them myself, and use a fresh one each day.

Washing the dishes doesn't take very long - if you stay on top of it.

The only cockroaches I have are the few that come in across the pest-control line and die. I have left their dead, cold corpses around as I figure that if any vital roaches get in then they will see the deaduns and flee out.

R53, OP asked - Tell me how you do the dishes, or not.

That is what I did. I don't know how to do that without talking about what I do.

As far as being too long, I am sorry that your attention span is so desperately short, as that answer really was not that long.

You should think about why you are such an asshole, and what you can do to be less of a stain on humanity.

I am neither European, nor Californian. R54. I am not a brittle queen, either, though sometimes I am a raging cunt. People whining online about how anything longer than a tweet is too long is one of my pet peeves. It brings out my bitchy side.

I’ll take a guess that you haven’t bathed in that same two months, OP, and you are now getting rashes in the folds of your skin around your elbows, knees and underarms.

I won’t fault you as I’ve been there myself, depression is depressing and it’s hard to climb out.

Still you sound like sort of an asshole so I’m thinking you’re enjoying this. If that’s the case, congratulations. You’ve created your nirvana just to your liking, huzzah. You might just as well name the cockroach since you willed him into existance, too. Well done, OP, well done.

R51, that is clever. Making soap gives me nightmares of Julian Sands in “Warlock”, but a local store caries olive oil solid soap. I’ve had good luck sewing 10 or12oz. linen into a sock shape to hold the bar. The fiber is rough enough for most tasks. The whole thing hangs off the tap so it doesn’t melt away.

That reminded me R64. He was here today, without his mask of course, despite the mask mandate here. Anyway, I have now washed 2/3rds of the dishes from Dec 23rd. Sorry for the misinformation: Tex comes to fuck me once a month but does the bugs every 2 mths. It gets rather confusing, what with my busy career (yes, I have a demanding career). I also have pool boy who visits weekly; was Weds but now Mon; he's a very nice Southern boy with a gf (wife?) who doesn't care as long as he's happy; he's happy. No one has been vaccinated of course.
