    I'm waiting for the sasquatch to carry one of those 3 foot tall step ladder to help him crawl in and out of them huge dumpsters, imagine the site of a huge hairy, odorenhanced bipedal creature with mining spotlight carrying a huge sack and a stepladder, 911 will be busy that night with a deluge of panic stricken callers. "Look mommy, it's the Anti Santa Claus!" Strapping a 'gator in front of a wheel barrow may sound hysterical, but will prove to be a logistically impossible challenge to pull off.

    Or you can borrow my Mom's grabber claw-similar to above- except probably twice the cost because it's for old people. LOL

    Garmoon- Don't laugh Been their Done that !! Did'nt take mine from mom ! Bought my own for about $3.00 @ big Lots I think ? It was The Assualt Version ( Folding Stock LOL) - It had a Hinge in the middle which Eventually Wore Out /Broke { Cheap Plastic ) I Splinted it with a piece of Dowel & some cable-ties { If you can't fix it with cable -ties , Duck Tape , A pair of Channel Locks or a Ball Peen Hammer ) = Then it's Broken!! I kept using it forever but Eventually the wire/Cable that connects the handle /trigger and the actual Claw /jaws /Gripper? take your pick ? Stretches and the jaws wont close tightly after that ! Though it was good while it lasted ! Unless your going to store it in cramped Quarters I would get The non- folding model The ones I've seen seem sturdier and will probably last longer - Harbor frieght has a Cheap one but it has small jaws and probably would'nt be able to pick up more than one dvd case at a time so it'd probably be better too go with a regular reacher like the Gopher kind ! Here's a link FWIW http://www.reacher.com/?OVRAW=reach...advanced&OVADID=5983925011&OVKWID=32208241011 - harbor frieght ITEM 99957-0VGA- this seems like a good deal ? but not the one I bought from them !

    She can barely get her TV on. Doesn't play DVD player, wants no cell phone-"if I need one,then I'll just borrow one from someone next to me",and refuses to even turn on her burglar alarm for fear it'll go off in the night and she'll have a heart attack! LOL

    garmoon- yes my friend and I'm also guessing that she remembers RADIO a strange DEvice that was something like TV but With no Picture ! A strange invention indeed ! Without The Pretty Moving Pictures and Bright colours we might Even have to Think for ourselves ? or Perish the Though Read a book ! Book another strange invention ! Square sheets of processed wood pulp Bound together and filled with an even stranger invention something called Words { Strange mystical Symbols Bearing great wisdom & enlightenment ) For those still able to decipher their meaning ( Young Symbol Maker garmoon) Teenage Caveman - Robert Vaughn - Hair perfect even that far back { I want his scalp when he dies !!!) Classic B movie Watch it and that line ( Young Symbol Maker will make sense Maybe ? anyway Like the snow I have Drifted ! Off subject ! On moms Yours mine & everyones They're the Best even with their little idiosynchrosies & Rituals !!! God bless Them All !!! & watch out for the Coathangers Ciao

    (Nowhere to go now)
    New York's a lonely town
    When you're the only Dumpster Diver around

    ooh, ooh, ooh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh

    I feel so bad each time I look out there and fi-i-ind

    (My Dumpster's outside) covered with snow
    (Nowhere to go now)
    New York's a lonely town
    When you're the only Dumpster Diver around
