HA! Use the broom handle

Well, I just had a satisfied moment. I looked at a post about all the special things a lady was doing about lunches and there were pictures of the little lunches, and a picture of her newly cleaned out and shiny refrigerator, not to mention one of a shiny gadget that reflected a house that looked as if it belonged in Better Homes & Gardens. Actually, this was one of those posts that  are in that great magazine in the ether: Better Living Than You. Of course, I made that up, because I am a snarky little slob.

However, in the last part of her remarks about her day, she mentioned the garbage disposal quit and she had to call her husband, who was on a business trip, to find out what to do. Oddly enough, he texted her the information about a handyman.

Ah,  you don’t put out a box of tissues, but line up origami works of art – yes, go ahead, blow your nose on the giraffe. (Okay, I also made that up – although I wouldn’t be surprised if it were out there.) However, you have never heard of using a (wooden) broom handle to give the disposal a little jolt?  You make money off of crafty sites on the internet and yet you cannot do a little search about troubleshooting garbage disposals?

I know I am being testy here. Maybe I will work my way out of that mood during the day – or I could just let Sophie whack me upside the head with a broom handle. And, yes, as a witch, I do have quite a collection.

  1. Okay in the 70’s ( 1970 not 1870) didn’t we burn our bras and rage against the male establishment so that our daughters and granddaughters would be able to fix the garbage disposal without calling their men folk at work? How big is this “I’m Martha Stewart in Training “blog anyway? This is the kind of thing that made our mothers (some of our mothers) go crazy trying to aspire to. I’m snarky too, I really have a problem with helpless women.

  2. I not only know how to fix a garbage disposal but I know how to castrate bulls. I think that removes me from the helpless woman category.

    And bras are from hell. necessary. but from hell all the same, they should be burned on principle.
