Medical miracles
This might get me as much ribbing as the Manilow lesson, but I'm feeling a bit befuthered, bewoldered, and boddled.
Ex-boyf Daniel took wonderful care of Bear while I was in London. Bear had a slight medical problem, so she was on some pills. When I picked her up, I noticed that Daniel had somehow jammed the cap onto the top of the medicine bottle.
At first I thought he had jammed it somehow. I have to admit that I smugly assumed that my mechanically-impaired ex had done something silly. However, I then discovered that the top of the pill bottle is threaded to fit threads just inside the pill bottle. This circumvents the whole safety lock. I investigated my bottles in the medicine cabinet, and THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME WAY.
I hate being late to the party.

So late that you really should take this post down.
And you are usually so mechanically-minded!

It's all just a CIA plot to confuse you.

I think the whole idea about this is that people who have little kids around can put the lid on in a way that safety-locks the bottle, and older people with arthritis (or who for some other reason have trouble opening a childproof bottle) and don't have little kids around can do it the other way.
It's quite egalitarian, really.

I'm speechless. And kinda touched. You see...when we were together, Glenn was always the smart one.
(and upon breaking up - my stupidity was confirmed!!)
D'oh!

What I find convenient is that with one perscription I take, I need to break down the pill into smaller pieces before I take it so I just use the cap as a mini cup to hold the pieces in.
