I used to think it was weird...

Garbage Disposals...do you have a garbage disposal?  I thought so.  We don't have one here and it's not just us, I have yet to meet anyone who has one.  I didn't realize what a luxury it was until we moved here.  Not only is it scraping the bigger scraps into the trash, but you have to be careful of even the smallest bits of food because it could make the drain smell.  I can't tell you how many prayers I have said while doing dishes that sound like this, "dear God, if you would give me a garbage disposal when we move back, I promise never to put potato skins down it again, love sam"
