I can't take the cap off of the Balsamic vinegar, why because it has a plastic seal over it and it will not come off without using a blasting cap. The wonderful people who bring us our food and drug products are trying to keep all of us safe. But what they have done, is keep our citizens from doing something they enjoy, and they have caused us all to spend most of their time trying to open a bottle of aspirins . And have given us pulled muscles trying to open a cereal pack. In their zeal to protect us from every thing that could harm us in our life time, we now struggle with every day .
For instance, have you ever been in a home that has a toddler running or crawling around. Just try to open a cabinet to get a glass. Impossible, it would take MacGyver three episodes to open it with all the childproofing. And what about the resealable packaging. You just cut off the top and by pressing the two ends together it seals it like magic. But it takes about 15 tries and by then you just want to scream and find a Tupperware container. And what about twist off caps. These are my favorites. You grab the the cap and twist, only it does not break the seal ,instead the whole top of the bottle is spinning. That's when you get a knife and try to cut through those little bits that are holding the top on, but no you can' because the knife slips and cut your wrist and there is blood every where. And its off to the emergency room where you have to try to explain what you were really doing, trying to remove a bottle cap, and not trying to commit suicide.
Can't we all just live on the edge and make life's a little easier. I don't know how the people of my generation ever made it to adulthood, with easy open caps and cabinets that were always open. I guess we were just lucky.

Ok Willie...So is this your excuse this morning for not making class...you were in the throes of getting the safety seal off your cereal box????Pretty poor excuse if you ask me...and not only did Dede and I notice you were gone but our fearless leader who so kindly reinstated your Saturday class noticed also. And what about the bike? It was set up right in front and no one could touch it...and I was forced to use a broken down piece of crap bike...but did I complain...nooooooo...because there is no way you are going to touch me taking that special # 7 bike....oh no no no...And to top it all off you missed the decorations for the new Zumba class...crepe paper, balloons, and shiny stuff...boy they go all out for that class..maybe your thong would not have been out of place...what am I saying your thong would never have a place...a bit of a mind lapse sorry...oh and just a warning if you don't show for tomorrow AM's class our leader threatened to do some very scary sounding stuff to you...SO I WOULD BE THERE IF I WHERE YOU....
