The plumber was due at 8:00 this morning--a most uncivilized hour IMHO. I didn't sleep all that well, which often happens when I know I must wake up early. (The fact that an alarm was set didn't seem to help.) He arrived at 8:10 and he and his helper spent the next two hours snaking my drain and installing a new garbage disposal. Shortly after they left I attempted to resume cleaning out the refrigerator, the project I'd just begun last Sunday when the garbage disposal died and the sink clogged. Guess what? It backed up again.

I phoned the plumber, who arrived about an hour later. By this time the sink had drained.  He insisted that I'd done something wrong--he ALWAYS blames these things on me--and that the new disposal was working properly. We tested it a few times. It doesn't sound right to me, doesn't make the usual grind and whir sounds, but it didn't back up. He told me that I'm supposed to be putting kitchen waste in the regular trash. WHAT??!! Why does one have a garbage disposal then?  I'm not convinced that all is well, but since the management here will believe him over me, I'll try to live with it. I don't use the disposal a lot and never put anything iffy into it, anyway.


At my apartment complex, the tenants have to sign a form stating that they understand what they can and can't put into their garbage disposal.  Basically, water is really pushing it.

TOD: I cannot think of any eye-talian meals that have been outstanding.

Honestly, the only time I've ever had really "good" food is when either BK or Former DR MusicGuy and DR Kerry took me someplace special.

Re garbage disposals: My neighbor plumber told me to only put down the things that will easily grind up down the disposal. Like the stuff that is in the strainer when you rinse out the sink. Everything else should be put in the trash.

Or in my case, in the composting worm bin.

You know what I miss, dear reader Laura - I miss the days when you and Sandra would come to LA at the drop of a hat to see Jason Graae!  That's what I miss.

Me too, BK. But she grew up and got a job. That interferes with things.

Dan M., when the weather cools off, I just might have to come down to Tucson and take you for a walk.

Don't let Harper Lee know that you bought that book.

I did not purchase it, the library did ;)

I did a search to see why you said that.

Hi DRs

Long-lost Dan M is here.  Thank you to all who sent good wishes and positive vibes, especially Vixmom.  I've been battling depression and on top of that I had some computer problems.  Everything has been going wrong for me, and since I am a "glass half empty" type of person, my natural inclination was to get very panicky about everything.

It's just been in the last 2-3 days that I've been feeling better psyche-wise, and have finally been able to get back to this here Discussion Board.


How great to see you back, Dan!  We were all very worried.

That's why kids and teens need NOT to grow up and have to be responsible - it interferes with the damn fun!

DR Dan can you get out for walks?  Do you have a friend who takes you to the market or for essentials?

Yes, I have a friend, but she's getting early senility or something, so I don't like to bother her that much.  While it's no substitute for shopping in an actual supermarket, I have been using the Safeway grocery delivery service lately.  For the most part they do a decent job, except last week all of my spaghetti sauce jars broke and nearly half of my grocery order was covered.  The other half was sticky from a soda can that apparently popped.  I did get a refund on some items.  Safeway is very good about that sort of thing, I must say (to borrow Ed Grimley's favorite expression).

I am glad to know that you have Safeway.  I went an entire year not being able to drive.  My friends quickly got tired of going to the store for me.  I would not have survived without Safeway.

Tonight's "Tempest" went off without a hitch.  My sound cues were flawless...if I do say so myself...and I do. ;)

The actors were all on and the audience seemed to enjoy it.  A few friends of mine were there tonight...but not for me (an Ira Gershwin reference).  But I chatted with them all and that was fun.

Today (Thursday, actually...since I'm still up) was our director's birthday.  Someone bought a cake and we all sang "Happy Birthday" to him.

Not very well (on purpose), but humorously and with affection.

Topic of the Day:  my overall most favorite Italian food is lasagna, but no one restaurant experience specially sticks out in my mind.  When I make it, I usually just use the recipe on either the noodle box or the ricotta cheese and double everything except the noodles. ;D
