So we use our garbage disposal very sparingly, for stuff that got just didn't get cleaned out of the sink before we could get to it. (Like if I'm mincing herbs and rinsing it at the same time and some get washed down).
We do use our Vitamix like a garbage disposal in that we blend EVERYTHING in it except pits from fruit.
I have one more dental cleaning and then two fillings to go. Woo hoo. They did a cleaning on the bottom teeth today and used six shots of anesthesia. WHAT? Least painful cleaning of my life until now (that the anesthesia is wearing off).
I've never understood the point of them.
Dried out wet catfood sludge. Congealed soup gone bad. I have to employ the fork-swirling-in-the-drain methodology. I want one.
The term Jewish hair will never not confuse me, as long as black people can, you know, be Jewish. But I guess if Jewish people are making the equivalence...
If a garbage disposal handled what I wished it did, they would be nifty things indeed. I try and keep down the amount of stuff that rots out of my garbage. But they don't and even the "harmless" tea leaves I was putting down there are clearly not a good idea.
The current gymnastics standard hair style seems to be dorky ponytail, so a very different hairstyle would probably not have been a good idea either. Also, I suspect that stylists for black hair are pretty rare in Des Moines.

YES! And you know, girl was busy training for the Olympics. I will say I find her extremely charming and adorable.

Yeah, it pretty much means "the type of hair that a lot of Jewish people have, and which is the focus of much angst and discussion within many Jewish communities," even though not all Jews have that sort of hair, and not all people with that sort of hair are Jewish. But it's got a kind of social and emotional relevance among Jews that I haven't seen in many other communities. It's not the same thing as the relevance that black hair has, but hair within a lot of mostly-white Jewish communities has meaning that hair doesn't have within most other mostly-white communities that I've seen.
I hate garbage disposals. I have one now, and I avoid it/fear it. Like javachik, I compost as much as I can, so it's not a huge issue.
Speaking of composting, smonster check this out! [link]
I think we're going to do this at The Compound. Now we'll be able to compost EVERYTHING.

Love. It.
I'm trying to find a decent article that talks about the culture of Jewish hair without comparing it to black hair. It seems like there were a whole bunch of articles written a few years ago by Jewish women who saw "Good Hair" and thought, "Hey, we've got something to talk about, too," and those ones are kind of dominating the google results. This one is sort of what I'm looking for, but not quite. [link]
