Oh yeah I know. I'm gonna burn him for that, but yeah he don't like marks on his walls, appliances, or anything that belongs to him. Dumb isn't it? Well anyway I'm thinking about going ahead and doing it anyway, if he gets me for breaking the lease, I'll nail him for Not being in compliance with the ADA laws. That'll teach him! Jerry Mader

Your landlord is not complying with 805J standards for all people doing business in this country by providing an inaccessible appliance in your home and not allowing you to do temporary enhancements to make it compliant to federal law? Interesting. That said, there are all kinds of adhesive dots out there that come off with a bit of scrubbing. (Or at a whim when you're trying to use them) These would not be permanent, and do the job nicely. -----Original Message----- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Rebecca Manners Sent: Monday, January 30, 2012 10:35 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: Re: [CnD] loading a dishwasher I don't know how well this solution will work since you have been told "not to mark up" your landlord's appliances. Here goes anyway. Sometimes, my mom and I will buy little stick-on plastic crystals from Walmart. They are tiny and are easy to remove when necessary. If I remember correctly, they don't leave any glue behind. You can get them from the craft section. They also have some stick-on shapes made of some kind of spongey material which are also useful. I hope this helps.

The landlord told me I couldn't mark up his appliances. Yet I feel scratches all over the touch panel. So that confuses me. I can't use it I guess unless any of you have any cool suggestions?

When I finish eating or finish with a drinking glass I put it into the dish washer. This makes it much easier, and you don't have dishes sitting around on the counter to get in the way or break. When I unload the clean dishes, I don't have any problem as I can recognize the different types of dishes I use. Hope this helps -----Original Message----- From: cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Jean Marcley Sent: Sunday, January 29, 2012 6:46 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Subject: [CnD] loading a dishwasher I usually load the bottom part first with plates and silverware. I put only the sharp knives like steak knives in point down, everything else I put in handle down. I like to keep spoons together, forks, serving spoons, etc. It's easier to unload. I feel how the rows of prongs go in the dishwasher and then start putting in the plates. I like to keep them in neat rows also to make it easier to unload. Then I pull out the top shelf and begin putting glasses in with the top of the glass facing the bottom of the dishwasher; same for cups and cereal bols. Some cooking utensils like slotted spoons, tongs, big stirring spoons, can lay down on the top shelf. Anything plastic also goes on this shelf - like measureing cups and storage containers (make sure they are dishwasher safe and you have to ask a sighted person). I like to use premeasured packets probably of dishwasher detergent and I don't use a softener to prevent spotting. After a while, you'll get better at it when you use the same dishwasher all the time. Do not put wooden utensils or wooden-handled knives in the dw. I NEVER put sharp knives in even if they are dw safe so that I don't cut myself when I am putting the dishes away. So, there ya go. Hope this helps. I use my hands to feel where things go and it takes probably 3 times as long as for a sighted person. I don't care.
