There is nobody named DD in this house. Sure I could ask. And she could
lie. So no point in that.

No. It was necessary. I ordered it several days ago from Walmart.com.
Cost me 97 cents to have it delievered. I have been looking for a slim
trash can because my kitchen is so small and the one we have is old, too big
for the room and disgustingly stained. So I really did need a new one.
Plus the kitten had been getting into it. I've seen her. I wanted
something with a lid.
