Trust you to well turn a phrase.<br /><br />Your comment, Barry, got me to thinking about when I first had a garbage disposal. I was born and raised in the far north (US). None when I was a kid or first married - Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I'm pretty sure we didn't have one when we lived in Indiana. Ohio? No, I don't think so.<br /><br />I think my first exposure to a garbage disposal was here in Houston. That would have been in the 1970's. Now, my friend Jacky still lives in Indiana. I wonder if they have a garbage disposal? If I remember, I'll send her an e-mail and ask her. (She did NOT have one when we lived there, but that was a whole other lifetime ago.)<br /><br />Maybe it's just a 'Southern' thing? An interesting question.Goldenrodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246352554498015300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-60019841672668053492009-10-23T16:29:38.433-05:002009-10-23T16:29:38.433-05:00Strangely, garbage disposal units are almost unkno...Strangely, garbage disposal units are almost unknown here in Canada. I only know of them from watching American TV shows.<br /><br />I wonder why that is?<br /><br />Maybe we're too cheap to have them installed?Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13824632356834631279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281519437069491769.post-20503617727951616982009-10-20T21:55:39.698-05:002009-10-20T21:55:39.698-05:00Don't you just love planned obsolescence?

Maybe the new one will also last 30 years, so I hope you'll be able to stick around to find out!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590017513597344000noreply@blogger.com
