Ok. So there seems to have been continual leaks under the sink for whatever reason for the past few months. Fix & think everything's under control, then voila! Another leak comes up several months later. Blech. Tiring.
Anyway, so we had another leak last weekend. BF goes to see about fixing it & runs up to the Ace Hardware for parts. Sad because they actually know his name in there. He comes home and says, "I have a suprise for you!" Of course, I'm thinking cute adorable GH puppy.
Alas no, but ALMOST AS GOOD!!! He bought a garbage disposal!!!!! WoooHoooo! His rationale was that it cost as much as all the parts to fix the sink. He's never had a garbage disposal in the house! Do you have any idea just how nasty and gross cleaning those little traps in the sink were? Bits of food particles all floating around soggy and then start to smell. He spent all day Monday putting it in rather than go skiing. How wonderful is he???
It's a joy to scrape a plate directly into the sink rather than the trash can. Part of me secretly smiles too b/c I used to tease him about it for several years before we were even dating - and I have no clue why he never had one before. He's lived in this house for almost 14yrs!
We have joined the 21st century. He bought a dishwasher about 2wks prior. I know...
And on a side note... Hope all the peeps and pets down in AU are going to be ok! Just devistating about those fires. On one GH list I follow, a very prominant trainer lost his life and another lost his home. Haven't heard anythign about the dogs being in trouble, though lots are in temporary kennel situations while other living arrangements can be found. Hope you all are doing as well as can be expected at this time. Read more here http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/

the brisbane dogs are fine. we're too far north of the fires and too far south of the floods that are bringing crocs in. between hell and high water, no?
i don't know what is going on down there. i don't read too much about the fauna because it's too sad. i know that many pets (horses, goats, too) perished. flames were faster than cars. horrible.
it's so dry, and eucalypt forests are oily. supposed to be. many trees have ballistic seed dispersal. they're meant to burn here and there. but every so often, the result is too much, too fierce, and too close to humans.
The whole thing is just devistatingly sad. Hard to read some of the stories & how people barely got out - piling families and 10 dogs into a car!
Hard to comprehend here from the standpoint that we're starting to come out of winter & into spring - and in Seattle, it's rare if ever if we get above 85*F in the summer [29*C]
Glad you're ok though!
Very kind of you to remember our friends down under.
On a happier note, we also have a garbage disposal. Her name is Truffles : )
