One of the first things I had put in (by Juliana's DH) was a garbage disposal. I rarely use it, since I compost what I can, but I'm still glad it's there.
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Lived without a garbage disposal in NYC; going without was an LA apartment deal breaker. And I vermicompost.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's your composting setup in an apartment, bon? And why is it vital here and not in NY?

It used to be illegal in NYC. I have a worm bin in the coat closet!

Punishingly Intricate
We have once a week trash pick up and, although I sometimes will put it out if it gets real stinky, you're not supposed to put it out until the night before pick up. So, I love having a way to get rid of bio trash. I like the idea of composting but I don't really understand how I would use it. I don't really have a yard to speak of.

And then what? What are you feeding with your output?

Given how it smelled up on the deck when the ivy was naturally mulching, I don't dare explore composting (and I know it is not supposed to smell. My whackadoodle postage stamp back yard is also not supposed to self-mulch. I know my limits.) I usually don't have more than a grocery bag of non-recyclable trash (same sitch as lisah) not counting litter. I can usually make it a week, but sometimes have to double bag grocery trash and sequester it in the basement in the summer.

I am required by law to recycle and compost. Supposedly I could be fined if I have too much of the wrong stuff in the trash. Also they charge by the size of garbage can.
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.
Well, yeah. I thought the half-but (damn you autocorrect--half BUN) thing was sloppy looking, but I thought that about all the gymnasts who had it (several).

I have some herbs and containers trees/plants on the balcony. Don't get me wrong, harvesting is annoyingly messy and I'm not sold on the benefit to my plants. But it's not stinky and it's an easy option for apartments if you like to produce less veg/fruit/paper waste. Certainly eliminates guilt about my Costco produce habit.

I wonder if braids would feel too heavy and cornrows to distracting for someone who was a gymnast.
