Among Friends

[Shanus]

I didn't know whether to post here or on Pet Forum since DH is now in the DOG HOUSE. 

While doing the dinner dishes, with soapy hands, he dropped 3 plates, hit the tile floor and splintered into hundreds of pieces. We were already "down" 2 dinner plates in the set, so I got a little extra worked up.

"All is calm" now as the song goes...Will be ordering a set of dishes from Amazon tomorrow.

Maybe trade him in for a real dishwasher LOL Kidding

Oh no...My husband will always help me when needed, but I have to admit sometimes it's easier to do things myself!  I was cleaning up the kitchen, DH is helping, I asked him to take the base to 3 tiered plate holder and put it back on the hutch in the living room....I heard a bunch of clutter and looked into the dining room...he was taking things out of my Hoosier cupbard to make room for the plate holder!!  The plate holder and plates have always lived on the hutch in the living room.........

Enjoy the new dishes!  I am sure your husband felt bad, but Oh my, what a mess with all that broken glass.

Look on the bright side, you get to order new dishes. Before you order from amazon check out Macy's. They always have good deals on dishes.

@Shanus : enjoy choosing your new dishes!

[Mellyg]

Hopefully you can get a good price on the new dishes with some post-Christmas sales! 

I laughed at your mention of posting your comment here or in "pets", with him being in he doghouse!

@Shanus    My current china (pun intended) is from the $ store

Bummer...

Reminds me of a time my DH painted a 1960's mod graphic trash can black.  I had just re-done the guest bath but hadn't changed out the trash can yet....came home from work to a spray painted black trash can.  Or the time I came home to find an expensive picture frame spray painted green.  Sigh...I just took a deep breath and remembered that I love him and he was 'trying' to help.

@mspatmac   Oh, we have a nice dishwasher and he was rinsing plates to go in there. His hands were slippery with Dawn. For some reason, when he does dishes, they're clean enough to go back in the cabinet before the dishwasher. I just scrape off the food and let the machine do its work.

Prevention--a memory of a Christmas dinner past.

Getting ready for the dessert course, I got up to clear the table.  My sister asked her oldest daughter to help with carrying in the plates.

Now, these were very ornate Wedgewood plates with gold dragons on the green outer band.  We had gotten them for practically peanuts on our honeymoon and on subsequent trips back to Jamaica before the price of gold skyrocketed.    I suggested that at approx. $350/plate, she might prefer to bring in the cutlery at her young age !

Sister thought that was a great idea, lol !

Great opportunity for you to add new dish ware to all your other new things !
