Many annoying things

Of the many things in this world that annoy the crap out of me, childproof lids arr near the top of the list. I mean sure, we want to keep our children from accidentally overdosing on medication or from climbing into dangerous trash cans but please! These push and twist caps are nearly impossible to open! And what about these "senior friendly" caps where you line up the arrows in order to pop the tops? The arrows are white folks: on a white bottle. What horses pa toot came up with that one? Senior citizens have a hard time seeing, the least they could have done was to make the arrows black , accommodating those that are color blind as well. And I cannot stand those "childproof" twist and lock trash cans. They aren't really childproof if a raccoon can figure out how to open them! We are so busy trying to wrap our children in bubble wrap ( I do not recommend this!) that we forget to let our kids learn from their mistakes. I say let the child touch the hot stove and get burned. I guarantee they will not do that again!

Happy Day

Many happy returns to me on this, the day after my natal day! In case your curious, I turned 26 yesterday and I haven't decided whether to accept that as my age, and get older next year, or to hold on to 26 until I'm 56! I know getting old shouldn't be that big of a deal, but I really want my life to have meant something for last 26 years. Have I accomplished anything grand and wonderful, or am I just dead weight on mankind? Sure I have one college degree and I'm one month away from completing another, but somehow I don't seem quite as fulfilled as I did when I was younger. I suppose I'll get use to it. Oh well, Happy Birthday to me!
