They're for situations where a buncha drunks are around and you don't want to sweep up fragments of gramma's chinelle, chinette, chinous, whatever. A real stud has a dishwasher. Doesn't hafta be anything fancy, just something that you can wash real dishes in. I'm sure we'll get chided for this appliance minded thing but just let that roll off your back; this is the bachelor hour and we don't need a buncha handwringing over handwashing. Handwashing dishes sucks, not to mention dishwashers get dishes cleaner and use less water and electricity. Food doesn't melt real dishes. Food tastes better on real dishes. Food looks better on real dishes. Food can be the gateway to romance, if you're so inclined. Nothing sez 'one night stand' like beef-a-roni on a paper plate accompanied by plastic fork and Dale Earnhart plastic tumbler. Come to think of it, the aforementioned place setting really sez "wife beater". Trust me, you'll attract and hang on to better lovuhs if ya take that one small step. I'm not talking the ones who wake up, grab the money off the nightstand and run away, either. Then again, you may prefer a solo career. Never mind then. Jack Mel-Onan |

When I have my persians groomed, I have the groomer shave their belly and butt, and remove any other small matts that I was unable to keep brushed out. :-) Then they get bathed and brushed. She charges me $40.00 per cat.... and Diana bites so has to be muzzled. :-P Do you let your kitty outdoors? I don't, so the "lion cut" is not necessary. :-) Gotta love central air.

Except she also likes being massaged between her shoulder blades and in a great while, will allow tummy/chest rubs. She loves having the pink part of her nose rubbed, and if I put my finger in front of her nose (but not touching it), she'll push her nose into it and rub it against my finger.

I'm as lazy as sh**, too. Its easier to throw a plate out. I use foam
plates all the time. Food containing alot of fat will heat the plastic and it can curl the plate and melt through. Try doubling up the plate. I never buy them unless they are 2 cents per plate or less. This week at Pathmark the store brand is 50 plates for $1. I'm lazy and if I used real plates all the time my sink would be full of dishes. If I had a dishwasher I would use real plates. |

Even with gas, though, unless you use very disciplined and frugal washing techniques (soaking tub, rinsing lab-style with a thin stream of water, etc), the machine is probably as good or better on use of resources, and (in my experience) DOES get them cleaner. Even with the cheap apartment grade machine I have. Only times it has failed me is with very hard food residue from an orphan plate, or when there were temporary water pressure/ph problems. My water is so soft, I have to use LESS detergent in DW / clothes washer, or I get residue. As long as I rinse and brush off the plates after every meal, twice a week is all the more often I need to run the thing.

I also shaved my shelties for the first time this summer, and they were OH so much more active and happy! :-) They appreciated not having all that heavy fur during the hot summer. I don't give my cats funny haircuts, but I don't see anything wrong with dressing them funny, IF they are willing and cooperative! It's not all that unusual for young kids to treat some cats like dolls.

I did pay for my sister's cat to get done, but that was because this particular cat was a bit too eager to use his claws on humans. He had a bad "swiping" habit and was hurting the baby. Now he runs from the baby which is what he should have done in the first place. I'd never declaw unless the cat was agressive with his claws.

I didn't think they did the haircut for the photo, although the fruit thing on their head, maybe..... I don't get giving cats haircuts, never did, but I know people who do it and different strokes, as they say. As for the fruit on the head, it's not torture. I'm certain that cat took that thing off its head moments after the flash went off. I'm surprised it sat still with it long enough to have its picture taken! Wanna talk torture, lets discuss declawing. |

My suggestion would be to wash a plate, but the original poster wouldn't
have written if he liked that idea. With that in mind, I suggest a plate with a disposable paper plate liner. The plate can be metal, pottery, plastic or china, doesn't matter, as long as it is a normal washable plate. The liner is a PAPER plate, not foam or plastic, plain paper. The paper plate goes on the solid one. Food goes on the paper. Eater eats. Paper plate gets thrown away. Solid plate might need to be washed now and then for when liquids leak on to it, but for the most part, it never touches food. That way the plate can be handled without everything falling off, but the plate is still disposable. The paper is easier on the environment too since it uses about the amount of paper that a few mistakes when writing a letter do. --Lia |
