Oh dishes.......I am going to go back in the way back time vault and quote myself from Jan 2022 about dishes and cups in particular.

"Reckon I am the typical or the generalization for single guys. 14 years ago when my ex and I divorced, she just wanted gone. So she made no claims and she let the court know I could have the house, the kids, and the dogs. So for 14 years I have been hearing from my mother, sisters, Aunts, nieces, and my friends wives.

That ya sure can tell I am single cause have no pictures on the walls. As well as for 14 years they shake their heads cause my drapes don't match my furniture. My furniture don't match my carpet. My silverware is a hodge podge of 4 different patterns. While I have all china type plates all my cups are plastic and do not match the dinnerware. With some of those plastic cups saying Taco Bell, McDonalds, Subway, and other fast food names on them.

For 14 years they have been letting me know I should get remarried. I am convinced they only do so cause they are all OCD and when they visit my home, that all the mismatch sets off their anxiety.......LOL"

Once upon a time I was married and in a matter of months will be so again. This time in between I have remained "that" single guy and rarely have to wash a cup because I drink straight from every container, milk, juice, 2 liter, you name it.

The bright side for my ma, sisters, nieces, and aunts when they come to my home for a holiday meal or a SB party. They will no longer feel the need to bring their own drinks. They can drink from the container in my ice box and know it is safe because once again I have adult supervision.........LOL
CONGRATULATIONS on your upcoming marriage... 💒

And the fact that your family member will be able to partake of any beverages in your home without fear of contamination! :ROFL:

Lol! :D

LOL........Hopefully that means you won't have to do something six or seven times before you learn a lesson. As it is said a fool never learns from his mistakes, a smart man will learn from his mistakes, a wise man will learn from others mistakes. I never claimed to be smart or wise.......LOL So yeah I am that typical guy the dinosaur from days gone by. Not quite as domesticated and as modern as the times. Still scratching my head at Welcome to the future...........LOL

I used to have roommates like you who were 10 years older than me. I felt like their mom.

We have met then........LOL
I remember the first week I moved in. I literally threw out maybe three big garbage bags of expired food from the fridge and pantry. I cleaned the kitchen from ceiling to floor. I fixed up, cleaned and detailed the backyard, so we had a hang out area next to the fire pit. I even cleaned and organized the living room from ceiling to floor.

The next week, they were leaving beer cans all over the house.

Possibly. Well, glad you are still alive. I ended up finding out that all three of those roommates were secretly heroin addicts while I was living there and had no idea.
Yeah have been to rehab thrice myself. I liked the way the pain was numbed and the way it allowed me to put on the good time Charlie act. When I arose from my knees the greatest miracle to me in my life was the way that Christ had totally removed any desire for an artificial high. Now I am just a clean and sober clown........LOL

I even got a benchpress set, bar and weights delivered to the house and put it in the back yard, so none of us needed a gym pass and so we can all get healthier.

i even left that at the house when I moved out, so they could stay healthy.

i found out maybe a decade later that one of them died early. Possible overdose.

Praise God for setting you free, and thank you for taking the time to post.

After they got used for a meal or two or three servings for that meal, just not using them for two different meals.
