Yes!  That's me!  I can spend an hour in the produce dept. trying to open those darn bags!  Cripes!

The secret is to put the top of the plastic bag between the palms of your hands and then rub your palms together briskly to separate the plastic.

That's what I do too, but sometimes it just doesn't work.  No matter how many times you try.

I've been known to use that one and will again...probably quite often.

 

My tolerance for idiots is extremely low these days. I used to have some immunity built up, but obviously there’s a new strain out there.

 

Yes, I used to possess a lot of it.  Mine has worn very thin.

 

As I watch this generation try and rewrite our history, I’m sure of one thing: It will be misspelled and have no punctuation.

 

And their rewritten history is equally incorrect.

 

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

 

I think it was only one who actually accomplished this and deserves the honor.  

 

 

There is no such thing as a grouchy old person. The truth is that once you get old, you stop being polite and start being honest.

 

It's amazing how many people can't tolerate the truth.


@Foxxee    AMEN !!

My trick is go ask the guy stocking produce to open it. He usually gets it first attempt.

@RedTop   My grocery store has the greens sprayed with water every few minutes, so I dampen my fingers and then am able to open the bags.

@kitcat51   Someone sent it to DH this morning, had me laughing out loud, so I googled it in order to post.


I'm proud of myself that I remembered reading it, things fly out of my mind lightening fast lately. Thanks for sharing it here @mousiegirl. Be well.
