Manly Art of Loading a Dishwasher
My husband can load a dishwasher better than I44 total reviews
Comment from Aislinge
I had to chuckle when I read the title -- my husband seems to think I can't load the dishwasher properly, but I can load it according to generally accepted rules, just not his! Your descriptions were great -- I love the bookshelf incident!
Thank you for a wonderful read!

Comment from DecrepitOldBag
Beth, your stories make me howl with laughter. Sadly, I don't have a machine for washing dishes, jsut a sink, hot water and dishwashing liquid. I don't even have rubber gloves - the dog eats them if I buy them. I personally, would not know where to start loading a machine to wash dishes. Your husband...bless him! Ordering books by height and clothes by colour! I could just picture your astonishment.
No spag or typos in this well written essay; very well edited.
Warmest wishes

Kat thanks, I could do without a dishwasher since I wash them by hand anyway. All I really need is a holding tank.

Comment from LauraKatherine
I cracked up at the lines about pre-washing so that the dishes are still "clean enough to use."
Oh, can I identify with the organization of your books. I personally group the non-fiction by subject matter and the fiction by author's last name. (My mom was a librarian!) I had a roommate once, though, who categorized her books by height, and she ridiculed me for my nicely ordered books. I argued that organizing by height made it difficult to find a book on a particular subject if you didn't know what the book's size is. Duh.
This was a very funny essay, Beth. I enjoyed it very much!
One little nit that I caught:
operate systematically and patience (I think that you need a comma after "systematically")
Fun and funny. You did a great job on this essay. I got a good sense of the dynamics in your household. LOL

Comment from Jazh
lol This is a great piece. You paint a lovely portrait of your husband. What a man! I related strongly to the organisation of books by height...my husband organises them by thickness...as in how many hours it is likely to take me to read! (I speed read.) Well-written, and no spag I could see. :)
