Dish Washer, hand washer?

Well Mary, It's not that bad, a SLIGHT exageration.
I think that the scales tilt my way, a bit though.

A dishwasher for everything but the pots and pans. And being as it is just my wife and I who live in our house, we probably only run the dishwasher once a week.

Same here, pots and pans really can't fit in most instances and the would be a pain to load, considering there shape.

It takes about 1 1/2 to 2 days for the three of us to load the dishwasher; hard to imagine that it would take seven days for two people unless you go out to eat a lot; which brings up another issue... the health concerns of eating at restaurants too much.
