Monday Mention: Lemi Shine

Photo: The green, white, and yellow bottle of Lemi Shine 

A month or so ago, I noticed that my dishwasher wasn't doing its job. Glasses were coming out dull, and white powder coated plastic items. Since the dishwasher was new, I was a bit perplexed. I checked to make sure the drain was clear of food. I checked to see if I needed to refill the rinse aid. I tried a different detergent. Nothing seemed to help, so I turned to Google. 

I found a product recommendation: Lemi Shine. I had never heard of it. I bought some and hoped for the best. I'm happy to report that it works! My glasses now are crystal clear, and everything comes out clean. 

I'm thankful that I could find a solution to the problem! 

 (This post, though it reads a bit like an advertisement, was written with no compensation of any kind to me. I just wanted to share what I had found, in case it would be helpful to you.)

    That white stuff on your glasses is hard water residue. With a water softener it goes away. Or with a slightly acidic product like Lemishine or plain old vinegar.

      Vinegar is definitely a wonder, but didn't quite do the trick for me in this case.

Ten Things of Thankful: 39 Years Edition

A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours.  I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...

Ten Things of Thankful: April Showers Edition

  A red peony bud prepares to open fully  After an incredibly dry winter, we had a bit of precipitation this past week, in the form of falling snow. We didn't have much, and it didn't really stick, but we'll take water however it wants to come. Fortunately, my peonies seem unaffected by the cold snap, and are ready to put on a show here soon. 1. I'm thankful for moisture. 2. I'm thankful the flowers are still going to bloom. I don't know how the colder temperatures will affect the fruit crops. The strawberries look like they are still planning to set fruit. We'll have to see what happens with the peach, apricot, pear, and apple. (The apricot only bears heavily every other year anyway, and I think this is an "off" year--though I could be wrong.) Strawberry plants in full bloom 3. I'm thankful for anticipated berries.  We continue to clear out and otherwise prepare John's parents' house for sale. I've been going through old photos and...
