I don't know who needs to hear this*, but when you're washing dishes, you need to wash all the surfaces of every dish. The top and bottom of the plate, the inside and outside of the pot, the tines and handle of the fork, etc.
Grease and germs get everywhere. You can't see or feel them when the dish is wet. washing just the parts you think came into contact with food means you're leaving the dish dirty.

While we're on the subject, there is only one best way to wash dishes:

  1. Soak in bin to loosen caked-on dirt.
  2. Wet sponge and put soap ON SPONGE.
  3. WITH WATER OFF, use sponge on every surface of dish until it feels and looks clean.
  4. Put soapy dish in sink next to
  5. Occasionally turn on water briefly to moisten sponge; occasionally add soap to sponge.
  6. Continue steps 3-6 until there's no room for more soapy dishes.
  7. Rinse soapy dishes and put in drain.
  8. Repeat steps 3-7 until done.

If you're running the water while you're washing the dishes, then (a) you're wasting a huge amount of water and (b) you're washing away the soap before it has a chance to lift the grease from the dish. So you're wasting soap and your dishes aren't getting clean.

Confirming that this works. But yeah, pour gently.

How to Counter Provocation and Rumor:

Are there effective responses to being provoked, picked on, blamed, attacked? Absolutely—but they’re not all being taught or shared a lot. A few quotes that I’ve found useful.

Life hack: when an open WiFi (or maybe a website) demands your email address for access, go into your spam folder and grab an email address in the From field. Worked for me so far.

My solution to curb phone distractions and safeguard my data: I offload distracting apps (and those by companies I don't trust) to an old, empty smartphone with a different Apple ID.

I wrote about my system here: https://newsletter.therealists.org/my-sandboxed-candy-bar-smartphone-curbing-distractions-and-safeguarding-privacy/

Oh and I also have a phone "prison" for this second smartphone!

@_elena I've been thinking about using a second phone for similar purposes but you've gone a lot further than I'd thought about so thank you for sharing!

What do you do with your ashes from fire pit?

We save some for the garden but most go in the house

We put them, after they cool off completely, into mesh bags and then in containers with holes in them to suck up bad odor in rooms

Also, if you ever have an empty house, apartment, etc, plain charcoal will keep that vacant house smell at bay as it will suck the odor into the charcoal

Great odor control for nonenal smelling households, too, like geriatric or homebound homes. We do it #LifeHacks
