Wonder No More

Well, in the previous comments Storybeader was wondering how I siphon the water out of the dishwasher, and since I don't want anyone laying awake at night worrying over the draining problem with my crappy GE dishwasher, I figured I'd show you my latest problem solver.

DH was kind enough to show me how to operate the siphon (the thing with the blue squeezy thing) - you just put the straight end in the water, the other in the empty kitty litter bucket and give a few good squeezes on the blue part and voila!  The water siphons itself into the bucket.  Except about a half an inch on water won't go.  That's where the turkey baster comes in - to finish up the job.  (Attention Family Members: I promise not to use this turkey baster for this year's Thanksgiving dinner!)
  
(Ok, I must also give credit to DH for helping me with this idea - originally I was using just the turkey baster and an empty Cool Whip tub.  Yeah, I know.  He definitely improved on that set up!)
 
I got to thinking that I believe this is my third ingenious problem solver.  Remember back in the summer I had "the stick", which enabled me to prime the mower so I could get it started on the first try?

 

   

And at Thanksgiving time I had devised the "Thrifter" to clear out cobwebs (a Swiffer cloth on a yardstick).

  

 

   

Now if only I could invent something for painless weight loss!!!  Weight Watchers, Decaslim, Slim Fast, etc. - look out!  Heh!

The end.
