" If a problem has no solution,
it may not be a problem,
but a fact -
not to be solved,
but to be coped with
over time. "
Shimon Peres
"Procrastination isn't the problem,
it's the solution.
So procrastinate now,
don't put it off."
Ellen DeGeneres

is a progressive discovery

Answers will always come,

"Pristine in box"
Holy Grail to collectors.
Remember boxes?
Everything: trinkets,
shirts, appliances,
transistor radios,
they all came in
cardboard.
Inside,
your treasure
was cradled in
tissue paper,
foreign news print. . .
Remember Excelsior?
Now, everything comes in a
Blister Pack, or Bubble Pack
You can see your desire
entombed in thick,
impregnable plastic.
"Consumers suffer thousands of injuries per year,
such as cut fingers and sprained wrists,
from tools used to open packages
and from the packaging itself. "
I own a razor knife
and know how to use it
without amputating
any flute-playing,
bum-wiping
fingers.
PLEASE cut away from yourself!
And use scissors
or sheers
on tricky corners.
So what is your
strategy
for liberating
fortressed, yet
needful items?
Dynamite?

ReplyDeleteMy solution to tricky packaging is to get someone more ept than me to deal with it. And it works.
