HGG + VE + Rs = NSGD

HGG + VE + Rs = NSGD


This equation fleshes best out using a timeline. On Saturday Valerie (VE) bought a hot glue gun (HGG). On Sunday she used the hot glue gun to attach small rocks we gathered to some cedar. The result was a neat “SAUNA” sign and some candle holders. On Monday the sink garbage disposal stopped working. Tuesday I fished around in the sink disposal and pulled out a rock. When I asked Valerie about the rock in the disposal, she indicated that she kept “most” of the rocks out of the sink when she cleaned up after her Sunday project. Being a lawyer I pondered on what the term “most” meant. For the purposes of the equation I will assign “Rs” to the rocks that made it into the sink. The Rs that I could not reach in and grab out got wedged in the old sink garbage disposal’s grinding mechanism. After the better part of a day’s work I installed a new sink garbage disposal (NSGD).

I fret to see when an equation starts with the sewing machine. I also have another reason to stop Valerie from purchasing a bedazzler. Best of all, next time Val, or I, or our soon-to-be little one makes a small mistake that has harmless unintended consequences we can keep it in perspective and reminisce about the sink garbage disposal – and hopefully get a good chuckle.
