+1 for being a heathen. Half my silverware falls through and catches on the dishwasher if put in one way or the other.

@doxiemoxie212 yeah... I added the link into the message I posted. I thought people might wonder what the hell chit chat was and if I was losing my mind because I wasn't making sense. 

doxiemoxie212

@galactickates I was on desktop before so I just went to the link. But then I wanted to just find chit chat on my phone and was like BUT WHERE IS THIS PLACE NOW 

SkilledSailor

@offtoneverland Hii!!! Ugh this January I had to stage a house on a back road with a foot of snow. We got the truck stuck, a mover got his car stuck. It was a mess. Mind you, I haven't seen a foot of snow in YEARS. It's not a common occurrence in NC. Awful day. Also RE: Disney. I saw that thread! It took everything in there to not charge in announcing that H and I were going to Disney for sh*ts and giggles as two grown adults this summer. 

@lalala2004 Yes about the beach! I love vacations where there is a beachside pool but I hate the sand and actually going into the ocean. 

@doxiemoxie212 Thank you for telling us where you found it on the app! I couldn't figure it out! I also had trouble finding it on desktop if I'm being honest...

Hells yes.  Facing up, and properly sorted.  Then you pull it out by grabbing them all beneath the business end of the utensil and voîla!  Best of all the worlds.  Also unload said silverware with clean hands, bc duh.

galactickates

@doxiemoxie212 - When I brought up that we should do this, I remembered this thread. Only problem was... when I went to make good on my word it took me a second to remember where the hell it was.
I kind of like that though

Silverware goes up. If MH and I ever get a divorce this will be the reason why. He is convinced he will impale his hand on a spoon. I don’t like them face down because all the tines on the forks get tangled and bent out of shape. 

doxiemoxie212

DHs biggest pet peeve is if I put ANY SPOONS in the same silverware drop thing together. He thinks one spoon per drop maximum. It’s like yo, it’s fine. 

SkilledSailor

I prefer silverware to go face down, but even more so, I prefer H to do the dishes. He just throws them in all willy nilly. But they're clean so whatever. 

galactickates

I don't understand the impale fear... why would this happen?  
Just hold utensil from a reasonable height and let go.  If it falls.. try again.  

Eta @doxiemoxie212 - I have so many questions. How many drops do you have?  I feel like that would never work in our house.  H has a bowl of cereal every morning.  I'm not doing dishes that often! 

krash_

@galactickates MH’s fear is when he is taking something out that he will get stabbed. Like he doesn’t have control of his hand.

@krashke Im legit laughing so hard at the thought of your DH having a fear of having his hand stabbed by the silverware. 

suzycupcake

@lalala2004 Lol We can still be friends, but I will be giving you the side eye and telling you what I think while you are eating it as I force you to read this while your kids are eating it https://www.businessinsider.com/the-reason-mcdonalds-burgers-dont-rot-2014-5 It just scares the crap outta me. 

I see your point about the possibility of being impaled. It's why I always put knives facing down. I also squat down and pick up the spoons and forks by their handles. My silverware baskets are pretty large. 

@galactickates Another vote for sorting. I have an entire system on how the dishwasher must be loaded for efficiency. I guess I'm a bit obsessive. I think lala is talking about if forks are facing up and grabbing them out after the load is ran. 

Also, my thoughts about spoons going downwards is that they are concave/convex, whatever you call it, and I worry that the sprayers won't get one part of the spoon. I have allowed mh to put forks and spoons down before and it didn't clean very well. Maybe it's just our dishwasher. /shrugs

To everyone: I am right though 

jrm_14

We go through silverware phases- sorted, up, down, not sorted. Currently, we are in Phase At Least It Made It To The Diahwasher. 

I do not like jersey knit not flannel sheets. 

Oreos should come double stuff, the thins, or Halloween. All of the other weird kinda need to go die in Nasty Food Land. 

zwink1

On the topic of silverware- I was previously a silverware up person. But! We got this shiny new dishwasher last year, and it has a separate pull out drawer on top to lay silverware in. Each piece gets it's own slot. It is fantastic!

I have no UO at the moment. But sushi is fantastic and will be my first in hospital meal. 

[Deleted User]

Oh no.@jrm14. Oreo Thins are just a horrible abomination and waste of a cookie.  Double stuff, all the way!

galactickates

@jrm_14 - does anyone even buy the regular oreos? Buuut I do like the golden oreos.  If you don't think of them as an alternative to a double stuff oreo, and instead think of them as their own stand alone cookie... they are quite delicious.  

[Deleted User]

Newp. @galactickates. Cannot do the golden ones, either.  They are just oreo imposters!  I believe our most recent purchase actually was the family pack of classic oreos.  I would share them with you, except they are already gone!  :D
*typos

galactickates

Except H is the Jesus on adderall in our house.

Do they make double stuffed golden Oreos? I think I might be able to devour a whole row if they do.

Okay, so this I could maybe do @eleven_ bc double stuf

suzycupcake

Omg @galactickates I cannot stop laughing! 

izza2

Day late and a dollar short, as always. But best idea ever!

-Silverware goes face up, sorted by type. But H also does the dishes now, so IDGAF what he does as long as they come out clean.
-Friends was okay, but nothing to write home about.
-Double stuffed Oreos 4 lyfe!
-Scrunchies are for thick hair only. They look weird on thin hair... like a huge hair tie for a tiny bit of hair...
[FFFC: Butterfly clips were my jam back in the day!!]


UO1: Dishes do not need to be prewashed to go in the dishwasher, unless whatever's on them is sticky or hard to get off...

UO2: Avocado is gross except in limited amounts on tacos or nachos.

lurvleybunchococonuts

Re oreos: the weird flavored/non-chocolate with double stuff regular creme are an ahomination that should have never been brough to life. I dont want a cherry flavored oreo, if I want oreos I want chocolate and frosting. My coworker brought in the mystery ones a few months ago... *gag* they were atrocious.

Re not lovong the beach: wtf is wrong with you all??? I LOVE the beach. Reminds me of my childhood

Re silverware: I don't have a dishwasher so we wash everything by hand. Mh drives me insane when he does dishes though, he puts the still soapy dishes in the drain rack and then sprays them all down with the hose to rinse them  9nce everything is washed whereas I wash each individual item and then rinse it under the faucet one at a time to ensure there is no more soap on them. He puts soapy cups in mouth side down and then just sprays the bottom/sides never moving each item to get the soap stuck inside items or sandwiched between thing. Drives.me.nuts. #soapyresidue #rinsemycupsbeforeuse

jsnakehole

When we had a dishwasher (haven't had one in years, thanks NY real estate), I put utensils in downwards only because our pets were obsessed with trying to jump in the dishwasher and I was worried one of them would get hurt. 

meggyme

@galactickates  OMG, I swear this is MH. The way he loads bowls gives me an aneurism. He starts from the left with the bowls facing right and gives them their own space instead of nesting them for maximum washing! I eat yogurt in a bowl every morning, I need to wash more than 4 bowls!

lalala2004

@suzycupcake I have read that article.
Have you? It says they don’t rot because it is a relatively dry food, and that even a homemade hamburger would do the same. I’m not sure what you thought it would convince me of. Dry foods don’t rot. I could put a raisin somewhere for decades and it wouldn’t rot, and there is no process done to it other than drying it.

The main reason I’m not to concerned is that I don’t frequently eat fried food, and McDonalds food isn’t processed more than any other fast food. I don’t keep a lot of processed foods around the house, and I believe that a healthy diet is mostly balanced nutrition, which does include a lot of unprocessed fruits and vegetables, but I’m not militant about it. Annnnnnd their breakfast is delicious.

@suzycupcake yea I have the daith piercing in both ears. Was a (failed) attempt a migraine relief. I have another ring that spirals and the 2 ends rest just out side my ear. Its my fav. Other side will be just a barbell once fully healed.

Re dishwasher - handle down, alternating spoon/fork in each slot (DH deals with it so on the occasion I have to, I just do what he likes)

Re Oreos - double stuffed OR thins in mint. Then there are the mint mini thins dipped in fudge. If you haven't tried them, you need to. And you'll thank me 

coco2787

Double stuff Oreos are too much filling.  Apparently I am alone in this opinion.

I missed all the fun yesterday. Are we doing FFFC today? .... because my mil is in town and I have plenty.

+1,000!

Oh my god the dishwasher. I seriously spend more time reorganizing it because H has NO CONCEPT of putting things in a spot that makes sense.
Our fridge is the same. It's not that hard, push it back! 
and our cupboard.. If he tells me one more time the cupboard needs to be cleaned up because he takes something out and finds a new spot for it and makes the whole thing a mess.. I'm going to lock him in one. 
...I'm not crazy but commee onnn dude!

ETA:
Also, I love friends. 
And I'm not about the scrunchies but I am loving the invisi-bobbles. Same concept.. less.. big.

jengibre_zorro

Super late to the party, but i vow to be here on time, with bells on next week.  Also, i'm realizing how uncool i am because i had no idea scrunchies were back, i've seen Moana 1,469,346 times and still don't have an opinion, and i'm dying inside that some of you are sticking silverware in the dishwasher willy nilly.  *shudder*  Nice work on starting this ladies

bakerstreetboys

I've never seen Moana OR Frozen! 

I can't wait to see Deadpool 2, because Ryan Reynolds, yum.  Maybe that's an unpopular opinion because I guess it's considered a superhero movie.

+1 for hating sushi.  I'll solve the Oreo debate by saying all Oreos are gross

Give me the beach on an ocean any day and I'm happy.  I'm so sick of snow, blech.

If MH loads the dishwasher, I'm satisfied.  Too many things make me twitchy so I have to let that one go!  Ours has a top rack that's for utensils only so I don't have to be OCD about how he loads them.

fantasyflyte

My aunt has a dishwasher with one of these and I'm so jealous. Silverware never seems to get clean in ours; the dishwasher is DH's chore and he runs it without silverware half the time and just handwashes them.

meggyme

@fantasyflyte that looks like an OCD dream.

[Deleted User]

@prpl11butterfly. It sounds wonderful, but if it's thin, and minty, and covered in fudge, at some point, I feel like it ceases to be an Oreo. Js

prpl11butterfly

@BusinessWife I get that. They tasted more like girlscout cookies then oreo

fantasyflyte

This thread is dangerous, I really want to buy oreos when we go to the store in a few.

suzycupcake

@fantasyflyte Did you get some???
