Today was kinda nostalgic for me. 2 years ago today my beloved Spock, multi breed and performance titled Maplerun's Trouble with Tribbles, traveled over the Rainbow Bridge peacefully, at home, naturally, with me at his side at the ripe age of 14 yrs, 7 months. Tasha and Geordi make it much easier, but I still miss my Spockey Doodle. :(

it's 1/3 the cost of Cascade pods, it just doesn't do the job nearly as well. Now I need to find other uses for the washing soda, Borax and Kosher salt.
Did you forget to add the Citric acid? If so, you add 1/2 as much of that as you did Borax.

Put the borax anywhere bugs may be a problem..inside or outside. I live in a condo...I dont trust I will always have clean neighbors so I put borax in my tiny attic

Mix the borax with a small amount of powdered sugar. They take it back to their mound and pretty soon - no more ants... We use it here and in the Philippines, but be careful using it around where you may have pets or small children...

I did not forget the citric acid. The recipe was: 2 parts washing soda, 2 parts borax, 1 part citric acid and 1 part coarse Kosher salt. Here's where I got the recipe: Homemade Dishwasher Detergent (Soap) and Rinse Agent

If I'd never used the Cascade pods, I would never have had such high expectations. I have no wish to ever wander away from them again. I used Cascade Complete pods, but when I went to buy more, the Cascade Ultimate pods were about the same price on Amazon as the Cascade Complete, so I got the Ultimate. Both of them work awesomely well.

When I've used up my bottle of Jet-Dry, I do hope that distilled white vinegar works just as well as a rinse agent, because it's SO much cheaper than Jet-Dry. On the other hand, if white vinegar turns out to be disappointing, I'll be happy to pay for another 16 oz bottle of Jet-Dry. My current bottle has lasted through about 100 cycles so far and there are still about 3 ounces left.

In other news: The Big Picture, 1989, Kevin Bacon, comedy. Totally delightful!

Woohoo! Woke up to a winter wonderland! I took some pics but of course, this time I couldn't upload them:confused:and i've done it many times with this cell phone!

Oh well....it's coming down hard and there must be at least 5 inches already. And no, I'm not gonna go out there and measure!:)

G'morning! Yeah, awoke to "an unspecified amount of" snow. My better half has been taking Big Dumb Dog out already, so I haven't "seen" what it's really like. I'm guessing a few inches, and it's still coming down. Meh. I got the snow blower out of the shed a couple weeks ago. It started on the first pull. I'm ready :)

Here's what they thought of next.

So, I take it dat my lil' (snicker) Kodak Brownie on a kite is a bit passe? Dat's not countin' da second string fer da shutter... regardless where da KB is aimed.

I've been totally awed by da rapid advancements in almost every aspect of our daily digital lives! Da more I learn, da more I sense my ineptitude. But, at least, it stimulates my remainin' two synaptic paths...

Compare the number of people who think they know it all to the number who actually do. Makes me feel less inept to do that; might work for you too.
