You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So my boss just told me our biggest client will continue to have work for us until at least the end of 2017.

I should still be looking for a different job at some point, but I no longer have to worry I'll be unemployed in a year. So that's a big anxiety relief for me.

Thanks, Hil; I really appreciate the pointers!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I got myself a quick-drying mat to stack drying pots, pans, non-dishes, overflow from my dish rack, and I'm pretty happy with it. Used to use towels but they pretty soggy pretty fast.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have been stacking everything on the counter, because I threw away my dishrack! But now that I went to buy one, it seems silly, because I have one dish! Maybe I should just get one of those dish mat things-- we never had a dish rack growing up because we had to dry them.

What is this quick drying mat? Maybe that is what I need!

If I washed dishes everyday, I wouldn't need a dishrack. But I generally have several forks and a couple of plates and bowls. I microwave a lot of left overs.

I am trying to wash as I go, to combat the horrible problem of not washing dishes for several weeks and then having things growing in my sink. So I actually boxed up most of my dishes, and have just enough for one meal and wash while my coffee is brewing or wash the pots and pans as I go along. Right now I cook almost every night, and take the leftovers for lunch.

Or on top of the dishes if there aren't a lot in the dishrack.

Oh, yeah. If there aren't a lot of dishes in the rack, I can slide a sauce pan in there, or perch a pot on top of the bowls. Or sometimes I just dry the pot/pan as soon as I wash it, so I can put it back in the pantry and get it out of the way.

wash while my coffee is brewing

Invariably, I wash the previous night's dishes while my oatmeal is cooking.
