Just a minor set-back. She tumbled on down the stairs like a

awarded her a 9.995.

(Her room's been moved as a result. Teenangsters: They know

Of course, you need a little mayo to marry the bread and
the tuna salad. Not much, some.

Everyone knows that.

I always put enough mayo in the tuna salad that I don't need any extra.

Never added extra mayo before. Never even considered it!
But then again, I had a MIL who would butter her toast before putting
peanut butter on it and that seemed redundant also.

My home-ec teacher taught us glasses first, then silverware.. (the rest
in the order you list). This was to get the glasses sparkling clean. We
also learned that if one needed to disinfect for some reason, to add a
tablespoon of bleach to the rinse water or pour boiling water over the
dishes.
It all seemed silly to us at the time. We had mothers, maids and
dishwashers. "Who hand washes dishes?" we thought. LOL
Yeah. I've grown up since. I still love my dishwasher though.

It may be a result of my British upbringing but I *never* put mayo on
bread except for a BLT.

You're confused with a type of strep bacteria. The proper term is
"Necrotising Fasciitis" and it is a variant of strep, whereas MRSA is a
type of staph.

Again, inaccurate. Not only can MRSA be treated (Vancomycin is one
antibiotic we use, but even it can become ineffective with overuse) MRSA
is a staph bacteria that mutated from overuse of antibiotics. It is also
COMMONLY found in the community. Community acquired MRSA can be
differentiated via DNA analysis from the hospital acquired type. In fact
we now do surveillance cultures on new traumas to identify who comes IN
with it. Commonly found in areas of shared sports equipment or group
confined spaces, like jails. NEVER have I seen any body part "amputated"
because of it.

Nothing to do with MRSA

She is! I had Staph Aureus infection in my newly operated on leg and
nearly died. But it didn't eat my leg It was a common infection. As you
will know MRSA is just Methicilin Resistant SA!

Staph. Aureus lives on the skin and I was just unlucky.

It makes no difference to me. The point is to load in such a way that all
surfaces can be reached by the water. Water temperature and proper
detergents are just as important.

I wash most plastic ware in the top rack. Depending on size, cookware is
usually washed on in the lower rack and occasionally in the thop rack.
There's pracctically nothing I wash by hand. I figure, why have a
dishwasher if I still have to hand wash.

In a discussion of dishwashing (on one of the rec.arts.sf.* newsgroups,
of course), it turned out that the Americans rinsed dishes after
washing them -- and Brits and the lone New Zealander didn't, and had
never before heard of doing this.

Understood. When Calphalon was first introduced I bought a saucepan just
to see if I liked cooking in it. It wasn't until after I had cooked in it
that I read the "use and care" instructions and learned it couldn't go in
the dishwasher. I hand washed it and gave it away.

Hand washing never is never soothing to me, only infuriating. It seems
like such a waste of time. Although I have to admit that I do enjoy
scouring/polishing my stainless steel cookware if it requires more than the
usual washing in the D/W.

My 7th grade "Home Problems" (yes, really!) teacher
insisted on this order:

glassware
silverware (real silver, of course, in her opinion)
dishes
serving pieces
pots & pans

She was an anal PITA about everything.

Depends on how moist the salad is. None if it's pretty soggy.

Toast usually requires butter on one slice and mayo on the other,
"just because".

Hey, don't worry about it. It's kept me from getting breast cancer,
which killed my mother before she was my current age. I do have some
extremely bad implants, which bear absolutely no resemblance to a
normal rack, but they're not sufficient to wash plastic ware on.

Same here. The good knives and some of the cookware does not go into the
machine. If we use a pot to boil potatoes, a swish with a soapy sponge is
all that is needed to clean it and there is more space in the DW for other
stuff. Pans I always let soak with some water in them. All the plastic
goes in the DW and makes no difference upper or lower in mine.

Most times it is run full, but if we need some of the contents and it is 3/4
or so, we just crank it up. I do 90% of the machine anyway.

Then that's a very good thing, Carol. I certainly wouldn't worry about the
plastic ware. :-)

I never put my good knives in the D/W. As I've used one it's washed and
put back in the knife block. Pot soaking, yes, otherwise straight into the
D/W.

Only if there is minimal in the tuna salad I may add a bit more.

Hot dogs on a bun get mustard, but hot dogs on a plate get catsup.

Most luncheon meats get mayo, pastrami or Spam gets mustard

Sandwiches on toast are cut in half on a diagonal and you eat the half with
the top crust first. In the case of splitting a sandwich, I get the top
crust, my wife would get the other half. If it is on a long roll, I get
the left half.

Other people have quirks. I do things the "right" way.

Have you glanced through a People magazine lately? Tupperware racks (as
in racks made of Tupperware, not racks for washing Tupperware) are all
the rage these day.

You're on the cutting edge, girlfriend.

Do they do Tupperware rack implants?

I cannot abide washing plastic storage containers.

It was one of my chores to do the dishes, growing up.
Family of 6, that was plenty of dishes. Now that I have a
dishwasher, I don't really mind handwashing the odds and
ends that don't belong in there. It's a little satisfying and you
get to scrub out the sink anyway. I mean, that doesn't go
into the dishwasher and it needs to be cleaned.

It depends a little on how goupy the mix is. My wife used to work at a
place where the boss made the tuna salad half tuna and half white stuff.
Nothing else. It didn't need any more white stuff. I've also seen
people who spread stuff on the bread, and then take the tuna right out
of the can to put on the bread.

Okay, Ed, this is just weird.
