When I removed that aerator the other day some of the threads on the thing got left behind inside the damned faucet, and they couldn’t be removed even by a plumber. He said “get a new faucet and I’ll install it.”

So I did. $59.99 plus tax for a kitchen faucet and spray hose. Worse, it’s chrome and so purty that it makes me want to replace the stainless steel sinks because they look so old and used.
