Whose glass is whose?

We don't have a dishwasher, so we try to minimize dishes. But there's the ever-present question:

Is this your glass or mine?

There are all kinds of solutions out there that you can purchase, but may I make a suggestion? Rubber bands! My mother-in-law came up with this while visiting in March, and it has been working great. So get out those rubber bands and save on those dishes!

Why don't you each use a different kind of glass? Obvious answer

BBS, those tumblers look perfect for distinguishing whose glass is whose. I will remember them for the future. A side story for you: Growing up we had different colored glasses but then we began arguing because no one wanted the yellow glass - my older brother had done a science experiment in it!

Obvious answer dude - different glasses would work well. But we already have eight glass glasses that are all the same! And you of all people know what it's like to not want to buy something when you already have stuff that works!
