I’m talking about the trash can. You know the one. It stands sentry in the kitchen collecting everything and anything that can’t be recycled. Husband and I use white plastic trash bags in our silver, foot pedal operated bin. Therein lies the problem.
After trying many bags, we decided that the best deal for the price were the bags from Home Depot. Not only for the strength and tear resistance, but for the excuse that my husband needs to go to Home Depot to buy them when we run out. All trips to Home Depot require hours and hours of online research to locate the aisle where the product might be, followed by hours and hours of actual Home Depot time. I don’t know what goes on there. I refuse to go anymore with my husband because it takes hours and hours.
Once the bags actually make it home, the next project is finding a place for the box that the bags are housed in. Now remember, they are from Home Depot, the box is not small. So of course, the most convenient (not) place that has enough space is on the other side of the kitchen from the can. This requires running back and forth across the kitchen to empty the can, get the old content outside and place a new bag in the can. Sometimes there is a fail in the system and I will be standing there with a handful of drippy garbage and the can has no bag. Sadness to say the least.
This brings me to my brilliant idea. I began the on line search for a Command paper towel holder. I figured that the bags are on a roll…put the paper towel by the can and put the roll of bags on the dispenser by the can. Viola! The fly in the ointment was that Command does not make a paper towel holder. Horrors, am I right? I thought of Command because they are durable and removable (for when I change my mind about this). But it is not to be! Please 3M people…read this!
So now I will embark on a hunt for a similar product that has all the requirements that I demand. Strong, dependable, clingy but not too clingy (to the wall that is)…yes, I want a paper towel holder that I can have a relationship with!
When this brilliant idea comes to fruition, I will let you know if it is half as brilliant as it looks on paper.
Happy Valentines Day!
