Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for April 20, 2013

Does he have a brother who works as a bagger in the supermarket? You know the one—He tries to put all the heavy stuff, like canned goods goes into one bag which you can’t lift;, supposedly to save space. even though you brought 3 of your own bags.

But the bunch of celery is in a bag by itself.

I get the regular caps on my medication too due to arthritis.

More and more at the pharmacy, I’m getting pills in bubble packs with cardboard or plastic sleeves. Must be the next wave in pill containers. Easy to open and you know you got the right amount.

I had to sign a release attesting that I did not have children in my household before I could get regular lids.

My pharmacy puts my own medications in bottles that do not have child proof caps. I had to ask though.

It’s not just medicine. I told my son that some day he would find me dead of starvation with a pantry and refrigerator full of food that I couldn’t open. And don’t go to a hospital without a pair of scissors to open the containers from the food service. And MILK! Have to stab that inner seal. Hate getting old.

Years ago, the caps use to come two sided. One side, child-proof, one side, regular. You choose which one to use.

I need everything cat proof – kitchen cupboards, all drawers, handbags and my keyboard.
