[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1733194, member: 7539"] That is true, but unfortunately even though I'm a dog kinda guy, we currently only have two cats that my kids fell in love with some time back. We don't purposefully feed them any human food at all even though one of them must be part goat because she'll eat ANYTHING that hits the floor and begs for more. UPDATE: All is quiet now on the garbage disposal front after a little more drama. I had too many things to do this morning and forgot about it until just a few minutes ago when the wife tried to put something else down it. She ran the water, flicked the swich and then shut it back off before everything was done processing (completely untrainable) and it was still making noise. So... I informed her that it needs to stay on with the water running until it runs clear and free without sounding like a hay baler running wild. She flicked it back on and no matter how hard she stared at it or how much she gritted her teeth at me, the disposal would not be quiet. I risked one more piece of advice and suggested that maybe something was stuck down in there that couldn't grind up and she needed to get it out. :anyone: Well, this didn't go so well either. She gave me a look like I had just asked her to stick her head into the mouth of a lion or to tell Al Gore to his face that he didn't invent the internet. I just shrugged my shoulders and watched... she finally rolled up her sleeve with a petrified look of disgust, told the drain to turn it's head & cough, and gave it a thorough examination that would have made Freddie Mercury blush. :lookaroun She fished around for a few seconds and then her hand reappeared out of the murky depths with the cuprit. And what do you think was making this rattling noise in the disposal? What could possibly go wrong after such an innocent and normal act as forcing a half a side of beef down the plumbing? A BONE! A FAWKING RIB BONE! Tumbled and deburred by the now dull and lifeless blades of the disposal, but a BONE none the less. :ugh2: I just shot her a quick, telling look of "I told you so", kept my mouth shut and turned away without pushing it. And so ends this chapter of As The Disposal Turns... [/QUOTE]
