That's a wonderful word, as is rantlet. Terrific descriptions, too. You're right about the shredder-bin emptying technique. I failed miserably the first time, but now have got a system down that nearly eliminates those naughty strips of paper from springing out all over the floor.
I have both a bagless and a bagged vaccuum cleaner on the premises. (Oh, happy day.) I had the bagless one first, but now I think I prefer the bag. When trying to clean the filter from the bagless one, I gave up on the arm-in-the-garbage-bag technique, opting solely for the bang-the-damn-thing-against-the-inside-of-the-garbage-can-outdoors-while-breathing-upwind technique. It coats the inside of the thing (mine is plastic with wheels, so static electricity probably plays a part) with the very fine dust, and that will never go away for the rest of the life of the can. But at least it keeps the stuff from reinfecting my house.
My gosh, are we all becoming Junior Heloises?
