Now that I live by myself, I have escaped from a pet peeve in the kitchen: having to scoop all the bits of food and trash out of the left side of the sink and put it in the right side of the sink where there's a garbage disposal. I used to have to do this several times a day, but no more! (unless you count the times I do it over at my daughter's house, where I hang out two afternoons a week.)

I've never seen a sink garbage disposal. I don't even understand the concept. Why not just put the stuff in the garbage?

Have you ever noticed there are certain people you call who never answer their phone? Never! So you have to leave a message every time. And then, five minutes later, they call you. You answer, and they say "This is so-and-so." And then they don't say anything and that's when you realize that they didn't listen to your message and you are going to have to repeat it over again! Why do such people even have voicemail? :P

Oh, I hate that too!

Oh yeah, that annoys me, along with there, their and they're, hear and here, your and you're, past and passed, and all the other ones that people mess up.
I seems to happen so often, that I posted this to my FB page one day.
