Outrageously difficult!!!!
Things, including packaging have sure changed. When we had our toy store, a blister package was a thin sheet of plastic over the item, and you would pull it apart as easily as peeling a banana.
Today, not so. It's just about the hardest chore on my schedule these days. However, I have a wonderful friend...Virginia, who lives right next door to me. One day she walked over with a present for me....a good pair of scissors made for slicing into todays's blister pack.
When she brought it over, I thought I would never have occasion to use it.
Well...this gift returned me from insanity to being very functional.
My old cell phone wouldn't hold a charge....so I made a new purchase of an upgraded one. Not only was the phone in rigid heavy-duty plastic....but the battery also came locked in a blister of it's own.
I wonder if the manufactures over in China giggled as they constructed these...............saying those stupid Americans will be cursing over this.
Anyway, back to Virginia and her magic shears.....cut right through all those heavy layers...and finally after cutting this way and that way.....hooray, I was able to retrieve my purchase.
Now....all I have to do is study the instructions. Help Virginia!!!!!!! And while I was struggling to open this...Jeff and Donna were on Skype with me...watching...and I don't want them to know how weak I am.
They were exchanging the $300. that they had entered into my old phone and putting that amount into my new cell.
Now I have to wait for someone to call me! I gotta use up some of that money!
