Day: January 12, 2005

I remember being in either 8th, 9th or 10th grade and finding this really cool but strange looking pair of scissors in one of the house bathrooms. I got curious, held them near my eye, and clip! trimmed my eyelashes.

The next day I got complimented by females (students and teachers — probably only two people commented but in a teenage memory everyone was staring) on how nice my eyelashes looked and how jealous girls must be of my mine. In hindsight they were probably being facetious but at the time I was both embarassed and thinking the compliments were real…besides, it got me attention from the ladies!

My new disposal came in the mail but had a factory installed 3 prong plug installed (model 444-5a) where my old in sink erator (model 444-3) had to be wired directly to the switch. So I installed a GFIC outlet in addition to the new disposal. Relatively easy work but I had to complicate it rerouting some of the plumbing. The new disposal is quiet and working well. I do highly recommend it. The service was exception and the equipment good quality.

Of course, then I decided to change the brakes on the car. Doesn’t everybody do this?

This makes your car stop. I only completed the rear brakes but considering that of the 4 brake pads I could only find 3 and of those 3 two were braking on the metal and one had only a sliver of pad left I would say it had become rather urgent (yes, 3 pads implies that one disk was braking on the caliper piston).
