As much as I'd like to say it was the disposals fault, I wouldn't be honest.  Let's recap the last 2.5 years in this house. It's an old house, but not as some of the old historic houses in our town. So here I am trying to get the kitchen ready so I could begin making rolls to go with our leftover chicken and rice soup. Joshua is sick and well, nothing is better than chicken soup, right? Only problem is he isn't a big soup eater when he's healthy and his appetite isn't the greatest now that he's sick. We'll try again tonight for more soup for him.

So back to the disposal ~ while cleaning the kitchen I realized that I had some "science experiments" growing. In and effort to get them outta here, I put them down the disposal. That's what it is for, right? As soon as it was apparent to me that it wasn't clearing the food, I stopped. You see, I've been down this exact road THREE (yes, 3) other times before since moving into this house. So keeping up with the temper tantrums of this disposal has now cost me approximately $350. Not a cheap disposal.

I called a different plumber today. The other two were local and well ~ I wasn't impressed. So let's try someone new. And I do believe I've found the right plumber for us. Hopefully, I'll never have to use them again.  He showed me the "plumber's secret" to unclogging the sink/disposal. Yes, I'm filing that one away for future reference. And $85 later, my disposal and other sink were unclogged, and the plumber was on his way. Life is grand again.

Before the plumber arrived, I was at the point that I wanted the disposal outta here. Take it and give me back a normal sink. But the plumber has informed me that my disposal is actually the biggest that is made, with a 7 year warranty and normally they don't install ones that large. Oh my, so apparently it's not the disposal's fault, but the operator.  Isn't it wonderful to know that I have now clogged up this horse of a disposal 4 times since moving into this house 2.5 years ago. I'm on a roll ~ look out folks. Beware if I come to your house and you have a disposal, I just might clog yours too.  

Oh ya, because we eat pasta and rice and sometimes they become a "science experiment" that is then put into the disposal, most likely our pipes are becoming "caked" up with pasta and rice. Um, so pasta and rice isn't necessarily good for your arteries to your heart nor your plumbing lines. Just thought you might need to know this for future reference. Happy Disposaling
