Annoyances (con't)


Recommended Posts

I asked so many questions at the Meet & Greet that the doctor quietly came over to me and gave me her personal cell phone number so I could text with her. I was the only family/caregiver present. The other attendees were from assisted living. This entire thing is being terribly mis-managed. They couldn't even answer basic questions about insurance, how to contact them, etc. And yet, officially they start tomorrow.

The doctor said she will arrange to come in and meet with my husband and me on Friday prior to my signing him up with them. (Although it doesn't sound like there will be much choice in choosing them or not, as eventually the existing physicians will be leaving.)

I swear I have bought plastic bottles of Bertolli olive oil before. This one I couldn’t open; I couldn’t even see how it opened.

I went on YouTube and found a video showing how to open it (not just me apparently). The concept was clear but I still had to pinch it in a door to get enough traction.

Then today I picked up a pack of sandwich meat. “Peel here,” it said. It should have said “Peel here if you have the strength of ten lions.”

That’s why I have one of these…Elite Gourmet EJO800 High Power Torque Automatic Battery Operated Electric Jar Opener, One-Touch Electric Operation, Easily Remove Most-Size Lids with Auto-Size Guides, Black/Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C26M8Q44?psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ud_ct_VESK2SZ1MBSXXC5VBM0J&language=en_US

Curse you! Now I've got one in my cart. I wish someone would make something for all the medicine bottles and other things with the lids that you have to push down and turn. My hands will not do it.

Nor will mine.   I was able to instruct my pharmacy to replace all the child (and elderly)-proof caps on the medicine bottles they dispense to me with easy-off caps.  (I had to promise there were no children and maybe pets in my apartment.)  Maybe you can, too.

I hate them, too! There isn’t anything one can do about OTC bottles with child-proof caps like Tylenol, etc. What I do with those is once I open them, I put the cap back and turn it just enough so the pills won’t spill out but no so it is completely closed.  

As for our prescription meds, we get them via the mail from Express Scripts. I requested they only put regular screw caps on my meds. I also have that notation at my local pharmacy in the event I bring them a prescription.

Edited to add: I saw @Sneakeater’s post after I posted mine. Great minds, etc…

I can't operate those silly little childproof locks on bags of Tide Pods, but I discovered you can just pull the bag open if you try hard enough.

Me too.
