over the past few years I've seen lots of reports of Amazon workers being
mistreated - underpaid, injured on the job, in fact I think nine people
have died working for Amazon since 2013
 
haven't heard any similar reports about the big box stores

Sad that people die on the job but don't knock one place when others are
as bad. I'm still dollars ahead though.

9 people dead in 6 years doesn't seem to be that many. My guess is that working for Amazon is a pretty safe gig. OTOH, working in any warehouse or being in the business of moving a shitload of product probably has it's hazards. Look on the bright side - soon, most of the warehouse workers will be replaced by machines. That's a win-win situation, ain't it?

Yes, because soon everybody will be vegetarian and they'll need time
to grow their own vegetables.

In the future, people will neither grow their own food nor cook - except for a few bohemian types. Mostly, the people shall consume product produced in the most efficient and cost-effective way and people shall no longer suffer from hunger. It's going to be, as they say, "all good."

If you look that far ahead, humanity will have moved to another
planet, having made this one uninhabitable.

They've been predicting that for decades. Yet there always
seems to be something standing in the way of people having
enough to eat. Typically, it's other people. With guns.

That would certainly speed the drying time!

A very old trick but it works. Of course I never have a tea kettle with
boiling water on the stove. I just let the dishes air dry in the dish
drainer/rack. No need to rush or use towels.

I'll bet there'd some way to arrange things that you can install a
dishwasher but if there's only one or two people you really don't need
one. We feed cats so have more of their food and water bowls than our
dishes, plus we wouldn't place cat food bowls in the dish washer.
Actually people food dishes can become ripe when sitting in a
dishwasher all day. I don't like any dirty dishes in the sink either,
reminds me of an unflushed toilet. I do all the dish washing by hand
and right away. The dishwasher is only used for plastic food
containers and maybe some empty glass jars, hand washing plastic they
still feel oily. We also don't generate a lot of dishes as we use
paper plates whenever possible, we don't need to use dishes to eat a
sandwhich, and then the paper plate becomes a cat food bowl. We buy
plain paper plates in cartons of 1,000 from BJs for under $10, so they
cost less than 1¢ each, cheaper than washing dishes. And paper plates
are produced and packaged entirely by machine, never touched by human
hands so they are sterile. Dishes sitting in a kitchen cabinet are
far from sterile. We eat fried food from paper plates, they absorb a
lot of fat calories.

I've heard of that before. I wonder if that started when people washed
dishes mainly in cold water.

And yet millions of people fail to get sick from eating off of un-sterile
dishes from their cabinets. Perhaps sterile dishes aren't necessary.

Sure, the dishes are sanitized and go from machine to cabinet. They
don't get wiped with a dirty towel that has been used to wipe slop.

You are correct, with just me here there's no need for a dishwasher. However,
this 9x11 BEFORE appliances and BEFORE upper and lower cabinets with THREE
doorways there is absolutely no way, ever, to have a dishwasher installed.
I remodeled the 1923 kitchen several years ago and could have opted at that
time for a dishwasher but in a kitchen this small storage space was a prime
issue.

Pema the cat only gets dry cat food which is in a drop feeder with about 6 or
7 varieties layered in the feeder. Once in a while she will get a tiny can
of wet food. Her water bowl is a cat water fountain.

I, too, am a fan of paper plates. Sandwiches, cheese and crackers, peanut
butter and crackers, piece of pie or cake; the list is long. Once used, they
go into the recycle bin.

Frozen bananas aside, it was just a few days ago she posted she did not
like ice cream. She'll justify it by saying she was a kid. Then
suddenly morphed into someone who made banana ice cream from scratch.
Uh huh.

I was just reading about this Amish vacation spot, main pic is at an
ice cream place - doesn't say if it's Olaf's though.

That may be the place that does the dairy stuff for them and built the
freezers. This is from Olaf's web site:
Our primary focus is to serve ice cream parlors with a full range of
premium frozen products. The ice cream is made at a small creamery in
Sarasota's Amish village of Pinecraft. Every tub of Big Olaf Ice Cream
is hand mixed with the finest ingredients and is then churned in batch
freezers by local Amish Craftsmen.
 
If you Google the locations, the one in Sarasota is cash only. That
makes sense too.

>Cindy Hamilton
 
I have a commercial cast iron boiler with oil burner I had converted
to propane for heat. We have central A/C, totally separate from the
heating system. Hot water is a tankless on-demand unit. In case of
a power failure during winter we have a ventless propane heater so
pipes don't freeze.
Our heating is serviced by the company we buy propane from.
Our central air is serviced by a company that installs and services
A/C plus sells heating oil and diesel, they deliver the off-road
diesel for our tractors.

JD says use 87 to 92 octane fuel. I am using 91 but can also find 93.
I wonder if it would like that higher octane? It really seems to run
better with 91 than 87. I have also had a diesel model which I liked
very much.
