Regarding garbage disposals: I throw most of my stuff in the trash, and only the little bits go down the disposal, which one HAS to have if one is going to have a dishwasher.

Here is something to warm your heart....someone as in 20 to 30 men stormed the home Osama Bin Laden's brother-in-law was staying in and shot him dead. He was connected to Operation Bojinka...and all sorts of terror stuff.
