Ardith,

 EV>  I can use it all over my back.


 AH>           The handle is flexible too.  Very clever....  :-)

  I have no idea what I did with the one I had. Kind of awkward to
scratch up against the door frame. :P

 AH>           Our daughter has one like that.  She's never used it very
 AH> often, but keeps it for decorative & sentimental reasons....  :-)

  I haven't been to the fair in ages...and this years Arkansas State
Fair was cancelled due to COVID-19.

 AH>           Many such things do appear to be rather flimsy.  In her case
 AH> some of the fingers broke off, and were probably vacuumed up before I
 AH> noticed....  :-Q

  In a word, oops.

 AH>           Understood... but now that we have such programs, I'll share
 AH> with my readers what I do with small pieces of plastic.  The folks who
 AH> empty recycling bins can't be bothered with things like that.  If I put
 AH> several of them into a plastic container from the deli, however, they
 AH> seem to accept it gladly.  If I put various bits of metal into a coffee
 AH> can which is made of mixed materials & would otherwise be rejected,
 AH> they'll take it.  But if they don't know what the heck something is...
 AH> although I have carefully removed any offending bits made of different
 AH> materials... and write it off as garbage, I leave it near the top of
 AH> the garbage bin where a homeless dumpster diver could find it easily.
 AH> Such people may be overjoyed to see something weird made entirely of
 AH> metal....  :-)

  Years ago, my late uncle had been separating the recycled items into
one container, and the regular trash into another. But, one day, he saw
the trash folks putting everything together. He never separated them
again.

 AH>           $11.50 CDN, at a local shop, for a bottle brush with an
 AH> "extra long" (12") handle.  Cheaper ones tend to have shorter handles,
 AH> but Amazon offers an extensive range of styles at various prices.

  I may have to look for that, but the electric company apparently took
me off of levelized billing. I've got to call them in the morning to
sort things out, plus find out how to logon, as they've lost my logon
info. At least due to COVID-19, they're not doing disconnects for the
non-payments right now, as so many are in financial straits.

Daryl
