Wacky Dad's friends doing good - The National Call-In Day to Support Pancreatic Cancer Research

More info at www.pancan.org/nationalcallin.

Hundreds of of my PanCan friends who are Advocacy Leaders for PanCan.org are in Washington, D.C. today meeting with their members of Congress to ask them to protect #pancreaticcancer research.

I am hoping that you will help me support these hard working volunteers by participating in today's National Call-In.

Will you help this Wacky dad out and take 5 minutes today to call your members of congress in order to ask them for their support for Pancreatic Cancer research?



Just head to www.pancan.org/nationalcallin for your congress members' names and phone numbers.



A sincere thanks from this Wacky PanCan Fighter

Dishwasher Torture Test With Cascade Platinum

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Dad Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a gift card to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank-you for participating.” www.dadcentralconsulting.com

Hey Wackys!  For the past couple of weeks I have been using the new Cascade Platinum dishwashing pacs for my dishes.  I am the eternal skeptic, and am always resistant to buy brand names because I often think I am overpaying. We have used Cascade products in the past, and I have always recognized their products as high quality, but this new Platinum product is really a step up from any dishwasher detergent I have used in the past.  I have been on a mission to defeat this stuff! I have introduced some pretty gnarly looking stuff to my dishwasher in the past 2 weeks, and without fail Cascade Platinum has come out on top. My three daughters and I haven't been able to best this stuff! 

A before and after shot of an guacamole encrusted bowl that I put through the Platinum torture test.  I couldn't believe there wasn't one speck of guacamole left on the bowl!
We haven't been pre-washing, or re-washing any dishes since I have started using Cascade Platinum.  That has been a welcome change since we eat in the house almost all of the time, and our dirty dish load is always heavy.  We do at least one load of dishes a day just to keep up with the demand.  I am often disappointed by some of the other products I use, and have to do a considerable amount of pre-washing and post washing to get my dishes and glasses clean.  Any money I am saving on cheap detergent goes down the drain. I'm sure I am wasting an inordinate amount of hot water, which isn't cheap by any means when you burn oil, and pay dearly for public water.  I believe that my cheapskate self has actually been sold on this product.  Not to mention that I know my family is eating off a clean and sterilized surface when I see the quality of what is coming out of the dishwasher.  Another thing I have noticed is that my dishwasher is sparkling inside since I started using Platinum.  It looks and smells fresh, you can really tell that this stuff is doing it's job. Here's how the magic happens. Cascade Platinum Pacs feature an advanced triple action recipe that is specially designed to leave dishware virtually spot-free and help prevent the build-up of hard-water film on dishwasher walls. Here is a short video by Bravo's Gail Simmons explaining how clean plates can really make your meal presentation pop.  I'm happy to have a any meal on any plate in general, but she brings up some great points for all of you non-heathens out there!

Happy Clean Dishes!
