Everything but the Kitchen Sink... Oh, No, Wait. There It is, on Top.

It's amazing the things you can discover when you decide to clean out the cabinet under your kitchen sink. For instance, you might discover that, that time when you were going crazy beause you couldn't find any spare filters for your water pitcher anywhere in town and you hadn't changed the stupid thing in six months and you finally ended up driving 90 miles round trip to Wal-Mart to buy them only to find when you got there that Wal-Mart was out of them too, all that time, you actually had six of little devils sitting right there under the sink! Ha! Or you might discover -- or rather, re-discover -- the existence of that moderately expensive spray-on stuff you bought that was supposed to discourage your cats from scratching the furniture and didn't. Ah, yes, that's good for a laugh, isn't it, as you contemplate your torn-to-shreds sofa arms? Or, just possibly, you might discover a continuous spraying leak that has turned all those spare paper towels you also forgot you bought into a sodden, stinking mess, begun rotting out the particleboard floor, and, oh, yes, probably been costing you a fortune because, of course, it's leaking hot water. And if you're exceedingly blessed, like me, you might even discover all these things at once.

And people wonder why I don't like to clean...
