with a recap

ceanna

Sorry, it's been a busy day and not had time to do recap. Any more questions? I'll be back in a couple of hours.

13. Is it mainly kept in a specific room?

ceanna

Finally back and should be the rest of the evening. Sorry for the delay. To recap, here's where we've been:

- Most people would have at some point

- Mostly adults, and occasionally upper elementary age to young adult

- Not used for exercise or entertainment or cleaning

- Not edible or for smoking

- Made mostly of natural materials, so not plastic

- Less likely in kitchen than other places

- Bendable and no moving parts

13. Not necessarily a specific room but not likely to be in bathrooms and less likely in bedrooms, or kitchens. Each person could have in different places in house or elsewhere.

And, HINT, not likely to be outside most of the time.

14. would each member of the household, of those who had this item, have one (or more) of their own?

ceanna

14. Not necessarily each individual would have separately, but, (HINT) likely where there is one there is often more than one. (Hmmm! My answers are sounding like a riddle!! Not intended!) Remember, in #13 that thing could be in different places in house or elsewhere so not limited to a household (but often is in household).

ceanna

15. Not a decoration as such, but (HINT) older ones could be.

Suggestion: other than knowing that it is of mainly natural materials, not plastic, and bendable, maybe you want to explore what it's made of.

ceanna

Susan, while I was writing my last reply you posted your question which gets to the natural material from which it's made.

16. No, not a magazine, but (HINT) of the same material--paper!!
