I LOVE THE INTERNET. (But noooooot as much as you, you see.)
When I was in Acme yesterday, a song came on the PA that I was like, “Hey, I’d forgotten about that song, that’s a good jam. I’m gonna look that up when I get home and download it.”
But I forgot to, mainly because my mind was distracted by having to replace a garbage disposal (it had stopped grinding up food and seemed to be content to just buzz ominously when switched on, as if the motor had burned up). Then this morning got in the car and spontaneously remembered, but I couldn’t remember the melody or any of the words except something about “the hardest part.” And I figured there’s about a 75% chance that I’m not remembering that correctly either. Anyway, I google “hardest part love lyrics” and get a bunch of stuff, one of which is (drumroll please): “I’ve Been In Love Before” by Cutting Crew.
I love the internet.
As to the garbage disposal, there was much cursing and gnashing of teeth, but I finally got it in. This morning, however, I discovered a slight screwup: the previous disposal had a thick rubber tube attached to a port on the top. I assumed it was some kind of outlet to get rid of food chunks and send it off somewhere, but I wasn’t entirely sure where; it didn’t seem to go into the drain line to the sewer. The new disposal, which was just a more recent version of the exact same make and model, had the port, but it wasn’t actually open. It was completely plugged with molded plastic. I said screw it and stuck the hose onto it anyway just so it wouldn’t flop around under the sink.
This morning, I found out what that hose is for: the dishwasher drains into it. HW ran a load of dishes last night and opened the machine this morning to discover that none of the water had drained out of the bottom. Fearing the worst, I opened the cabinets under the sink, but discovered that the metal clamp had held, and no water had leaked out.
So tonight I must disconnect the hose (undoubtedly spraying water everywhere) and drill out that plastic plug so that the dishwasher will work.
I hate appliances. (But love the internet.)
