Broken Garbage Disposal

So one night Jacob started screaming and yelling that the sink was leaking and he needed something to catch the water with.  I ran into the kitchen and grabbed our trusty old Popcorn container we got for our wedding almost 6 ears ago and it did the job. 

Little did we know that it was going to take the maintenance guy almost 3 weeks to fix it.  The manager said that when that happened to someone else they did their dishes in the bathtub.  So, I keep my bathtub clean, but is it ever really clean?  I am such a germ-a-fobe that I would never clean dishes in the bathtub that were going to touch my lips.  I think that is slightly insane.
So once they replaced the garbage disposal, needless to say we had a lot of dishes to catch up on.  here were so many that our trusty dish drainer would not do the job.  We had to call out the big guys and use towels.  I however am happy to say we are back to old Whitey our dish drainer now.
After having our garbage disposal fixed for about 2 hours, I decided I needed to run it to see how it worked.  Little did I know my amazing tweezers I have had for about 10 years had snuck their way down in the disposal.  I was wondering why our disposal was making a horrible sound when it was brand new and looked down to find my beloved tweezers mangled.
Needless to say I added tweezers to my Christmas list.  Santa listened and I have already put the new bad boys to work.

When it isn't life or death people usually take a long time to fix something when you are renting. I really don't like that about renting. James usually fixes it before we call them that way it gets fixed fast, but it isn't fun to pay for it.
