Missing Page!
So I have to say that I did not miss the page about how to make sure I do something stupid every now and again. Today my sink and disposal backed up, so being the resourceful individual that I am I took apart the pipes. Of course, making sure I had buckets in the proper places so I didn't make a huge mess. How I've stifled a chuckle as Tom has picked up the bucket full of pipe water only to dump it down the sink and down the disconnected pipes and all over the inside of the cabinet. No, no I'm too smart for that. Now, I've never had the disposal back up before, this was a new one on me. But I got all the pipes apart and decided to make sure that I had the disposal good and cleaned out by running a little water and turning on the disposal. Well, let me tell you a little about garbage disposals. Apparently, after chewing up the bits and pieces of food you put in the disposal it shoots it down the pipe with quite a bit of force. It is not a dribbling or pouring action like the rest of the pipes. Mmm...so you as you can guess there was bits of food and nasty water all over the inside of the cabinet under the sink. Aaaah life, kinda makes you smile, well someone else who didn't have to clean it up is smiling anyway. However, I said I was missing a page, I believe that was the page in the marriage manual that referred to a husband's duty in all of this. Is he really supposed to come home and tell me how much dumber it was than his usual maneuver? And then walk away leaving me covered the remnants of the last couple weeks of ick? Well I have this to comfort me, I won't make that mistake again, but I guarantee you, Tom will invariably dump a bucket full of water down a disconnected pipe again because after all he's a man!!

That is gross and funny! Glad you are getting it fixed up. I WOULD have laughed if Chad poured the bucket down the sink with the disconnected pipes - that would be a crack up... ah well!
I laughed my ass off, but I coulnd't understand why your husband wouldn't clean up the mess he made.
OK wait I know, you exploded, and he tried to get away unharmed :-P
I can't understand why we can't have a garbage disposal, because they would be really good for the ecosystem if the purification plant would sell the stuff as fertilizer.
