Well, Rick I am sure you have a great wife, and once again she has out maneuvered you. She would like to have a new dishwasher. She is hoping the current one will die very soon and she is planning on your feeling guilty that you may have hastened its demise. You will gladly offer to purchase the most current stainless steel up scale washer available, she will suggest purchasing one just a little less expensive to further control the situation. It took me over 20 years to figure out how they do this, I am a bit slow.
