I have no lovely contraptions such as the ones you’re coming up with. All I do is talk to my computer when I’m too tired to type. It takes care of the rest for me.

I loved Mousetrap! I’ve got a very deft touch with things, so we did get the whole machine to work sometimes. Once in a while, something funny would happen, like the ball or the marble would miss where it was supposed to go, but it would roll over and hit the base of the stick that holds up the little red plastic…’net’? that comes down over the mouse and the mouse would get caught even though the whole machine failed!

I just laughed right out loud when I read the part about your looking like an infamous individual from German history! You continue to entertain us with your imaginative writing, and all the while you’re waging war. You rock!

none of my solutions ended up with any fancy concoctions, but I would use pliers for a myriad of things from opening up water bottles to zipping up dresses, and in order to dry my hair, I would hang over upside down so that gravity could assist my arms. Ditto with putting on deodorant upside down.
You have such a gift for reimagining your situation! Thanks for sharing it with all of us, too.
