Household tip #7865



This is the first time in my life that I have had my own apartment. I have had my own room before, but never an entire apartment. It is not big but it is more space than I have ever had, and it is all mine. I have my own shower and my own toilet that no one else ever uses. I have my own deck. I have my own refrigerator. I have my own kitchen table where I keep all my own junk mail.
I also have my own kitchen sink, with a garbage disposal. I use my sink to wash my very own dishes. Sometimes the garbage disposal will acquire a less than acceptable smell. Even for a bachelor's apartment.
Someone gave me some hand-picked oranges and they were so juicy that I had to peel them over the sink, so I put the peels down the garbage disposal. This gave my very own garbage disposal in my very own sink in my very own apartment a more acceptable scent.

You're funny. I've had the same problem, but Arizona lemons work well too. Has the bike come?

Hey... just catching up with your blog! It's fun to read, thank you for all the wisdom. Here's a trick for the smell in your disposal (though I really love the oranges idea): baking soda. Just sprinkle a little down there and leave it for a while. I rinse it when I remember. You might already know this, because you are very smart, but just in case. Enjoy your CA sunshine and citrus!
