Ooh, Zingerman’s…a tempting enticement. Unfortunately Alice, Dad and I will not be out your way until late Friday night, August 11th, and I know you’re heading south on the 12th. I’m guessing we’ll be arriving too late to help with anything more than to load the cats into their transport boxes (best of luck with that).

Have a safe happy trip! Discover lot’s of Roafood along your path.

Best wishes,

Buddy (and Dad)

P.S. Was there something about a sponge earlier in this thread or did I dream that?

B.

I am not burdened with too much time. (she says, punctuated with a disdainful, diva sniff) I am procrastinating! Any one want to come help me pack???? I’ll get Zingerman’s for you. Anyone????

C old friend (if I may call you that), it’s just a matter of time. If the sponges are there, we’ll find ’em. In the meantime however, on a more serious note, keep our military service folk in your prayers. Fred

UH….
I have no shame!
I admit it![:o)][:o)][:o)][:o)][8)][:0]

Nor I neither. Actually this thread has been educational as well as entertaining. Where else could you learn how to throw nails down a disposal or that a sponge could be the starting point for a new biological weapon of mass destruction? Fred PS. Thanks Chicago

I lost my sponge … at least half of it, down my garbage disposal.
Should I be concerned?

LOL, when i saw the subject line I was thinking of Elaine in that Seinfeld episode complaining about her Birth Control sponges being discontinued and whether a guy was "Sponge" worthy, since she had a limited supply of said "Sponges".

Fred, welcome to Roadfood. Buckle up and enjoy the ride on the "Off Topic & Lighter Fare Forum, where "time, time, time is on my side, yes it is. There’s absolutely no shame associated with posting on OTLF Side, not to be confused with
THE FAR SIDE

Hmm. I wonder whether it was your sponge that caused my Disposal to stop working two days ago.

I believe it was probably SassyGritsAL’s Timex which takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

Retrieved the watch – a little grimy, but still ticking (it’s a Timex).

Good riddance, now throw the other half away a sponge has no place in a kitchen.
Did you know that the kitchen sponge is probably the dirtiest thing in your home? Worse than the toilet seat. The sponge often gets used to clean other things, but does not often get cleaned itself. And sponges have the two things all germs love – warmth and moisture. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Most of these sponges , after only one day, have enough germs on them to make you sick. Top of the list are E.coli, and Staphylococcus aureus.

In a study conducted in the U.S, it was found that more than 70% of kitchen sponges had high bacteria levels and 38% had high levels of E.coli. Ironically, it is this very sponge that gets used to ‘clean’ other surfaces, but often this exercise merely serves to spread the germs around.

Thanks fpczyz, you just put me off my feed for the rest of the day[;)]I think sometimes living in ignorance can be a good thing (my wife tells me I’ve raised that to an art form) but back to Gregg’s question. Check to see if it was the left or right half that went down the disposal. Then look at the package it came in for further instructions. Don’t thank me, it’s my job. Fred

Most likely it is stuck in the u shaped trap under the sink. Don’t forget to put a bucket under the trap before you take it apart.

I keep my sponge in a plastic cup w/bleach and water solution near my sink at all time.
My watch fell down my drain in my bathroom sink this am (honestly). I had to go to work and will try to retrieve it after work. What to do? Can I take it a part under the sink and will my watch be there?
