when you told me to get some cfl's on the flytraps, did you mean the lights need to be pretty close to them, or would like three cfl bulbs in my ceiling fan be enough as long as they were getting dirrect light from them (they wouldn't be getting sun cuz my windows are boarded up)

Lemme take a pic of my plant stand... I have the CFL's close and plants love it... when you put them far away it is def better than none but not as
good as right on them...

[Skink]

this is what I meant... in a cieling fan the walls and surfaces is going to absorbe a lot of the light...

I have a plugin timer that is set for 16 hours a day and the plants love it...

Skink, while we're on the subject of asking you for your expertise, I have a Q for you, too, honey. (We DO think alike, by the way. I read your comment on that other thread. This is probably why you're one of my two online husbands!)

My dishwasher is doing this stupid thing where it's started leaving a white film on everything and isn't cleaning very well. It's only about five or six years old, but it's not performing like it should. Is there anything I can do or an appliance expert or plumber can do, or does that really mean it's time for a new dishwasher? Is there some sort of filter or trap that needs cleaning out? I saw an ad on TV for some stuff called dishwasher cleaner, something you put in there and run through a cycle without any dishes. Wonder if that's worth doing? Thanks, Skink!

Do you have a water softener in the house???

are you useing a rinse agent in the d/w like Jet-Dry???

[birdgirl73]

No, we don't have a water softener, and we probably need one. We have very hard water here, and it etches things after a time with mineral deposits. That's what the white film seems like, but it also seems to be partially a detergent film, too. I'm using the same Cascade detergent that I always have, but this problem has just begun in the last three months or so.

I do use that Jet-Dry rinse aid stuff and always have, but that doesn't seem to be helping any more.

Strike 2,,,only one more and you are out... do you have well water??? or city water???
