Do we really need safety caps on toilet bowl cleaner?
My new bottle of Lysol requires that I TURN AND SQUEEZE the cap to open it.

Seriously, I don't have time for this kind of shit. :banghead:

6. Meow, Ginger!!
Ginger, please ask Ceiling Cat to send my naughty boy CC back home. He ran away the day before I moved (3 hours away!), and we miss him terribly!

:hug::hug:

Is CMW behaving, or do I need to kick his ass?

CMW was into the nog last night. Need I say more? :rofl:

9. Figures.
Were visions of himself (Sugarplums) dancing in his head too? :rofl:

Thanks. CC is a naughty little boy, and when I get him back, his ass is mine.

11. Nah, I think he was dreaming about his post-Christmas gift.
Boy's had iMac on the brain for more than a year, but he's in the middle of a big project and doesn't want to transition from PC to Mac in the middle of it. So the iMac is a "post-Christmas gift." (Actually, we consider it a business expense rather than a gift, but I'm milkin' it for all it's worth. :rofl: )

15. That must have taken a lot of nail polish.
He sacrificed his own personal toe beauty for you.
Where do I find a man like that??

5. My dear RevCheesehead!
Hey, good as your word, sweetie!

You know, in our litigious society...:shrug:

My bottle of liquid dishwasher soap is the same way...

:hug:

8. What if...(and here's a radical thought)
oh, say, households with children actually put childproof cupboard locks on their DOORS instead of inconveniencing the rest of us???

How are us older, pre-arthritic people supposed to clean our toilets?


:hug:

24. Tell me about it!
I'd be willing to carry ID saying I have no children at home just to get one with an easy open cap.

10. Hey, I wrote to Lysol because it tasted too good and I needed to make it more difficult to open!

12. Won't someone think of the future Darwin award winners?
They shouldn't stand in the way of natural selection.

17. I got one of those and thought the same thing
Then I remembered why Lysol starts with lye.

27. And that the "sol" stands for what you are if you come into contact with it?
Maybe this isn't the time to bring up the fact that Lysol was once sold as a douching solution...you know, to help "married women" retain their "personal daintiness" and to kill "germs." (Three guesses what "germs" was a euphemism for, and the first two don't count.)

I cannot even IMAGINE. And don't WANT to. :scared:

22. I might. Until I get arthritis, how would I know?
Anyway, I was only commenting on your choice of words as they pertained to time limitations.

26. I was thinking the same thing while opening the meds I'm now on to clear up the illness
I've had for a month now.

I should have just asked the pharmacy for easy-open caps. I live alone and my cats lack opposable thumbs.

28. So do I go to Joe the Plumber for easy caps on the Lysol?
Life is becoming too complicated.
