Instead of live baseball, ESPN America has decided to show last night's NHL playoff game BOS@TB during primetime.  :mad:

It was a hell of a game - consider yourself lucky.

Against my better judgment, this weekend I will attempt to replace the food disposal under the kitchen sink.  Looks like the most difficult part will be replacing the mounting ring and sink baffle-- unless I can just re-use what I have  :hmm:

I love how manufacturers have such little faith in these things that they only warranty them for one year-- or two if you get really lucky.
You're going to be fine.  They have great prosthetic fingers these days.

Turned out to be an easy job.  The disposer unit fit perfectly into the mounting ring (didn't realize the baffle was part of the disposer) and the whole thing took no longer than 20-25 minutes.  Thought I was going to have to play trial & error to find the breaker for the disposer, but it was clearly marked "DISP" on the panel :)

This was the annoying bit for me.

Where is it cool to kiss an unmarried woman?  Only on the lips?

The quality of English education leaves something to be desired.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
