I wouldn’t turn Earl loose with tools unless I had no other choice. I mean it’s got a powerful motor, fast-moving parts that are more than capable of chewing fingers AND bones to mush and it runs on electricity with that wonderful conductor, water, only inches away. What could possibly go wrong?
I have my days when I don’y feel very worky either. And sometimes I don’t feel very fixy dinnery either, but if I don’t fixy dinnery. I don’t eaty. So I fixy my dinnery, but I might not do any other worky anyway.
Not like Opal’s younger years: “I’m a pretty good cook, sitting on my groceries. Come up to my kitchen, I’ll show you my best recipe” – apologies to Joni Mitchell
So just a quick comment on fixing disposals. If yours quits working do not call the repairman. On the bottom of the disposal there is a nut and a button. You can buy a wrench that fits that nut. Put it on there and twist it both ways a few times. Then push the button. This will fix the issue many times and save you money. My disposal in my last house stopped working many times and this fixed it every time.
One of the women in our books club got extremely exasperated with her retired husband, who goes golfing every day, and comes home expecting meals. She has instituted “fall out” days. When her husband comes home from a tough golf game and asks, “What’re we having for dinner?” , she answers, “Open the refrigerator and whatever falls out is what you’re having.”
Opal they can’t be fixed any good repair person will tell you go you and get a new one. So you go out and buy one and then pay someone to take the old one out and put the new one in. Earl is not feeling fixy today. He tired from all your complaining.

Maybe the reason the disposal is broken is all of Opal’s cooking that they dump down the drain
