open sesame!

How are you at getting things opened?  A bottle of water, the new prescription of pills (with the "child proof cap), the carton of milk or anything else with a cap.....  How do you get the top off of something?  We have some "grippers" that help - but two of us have issues with our thumbs so the third person, here in the house, is the one we "go to" to get something open.  I will also admit to seeing if the neighbor is home.

How about when you are traveling?  I usually ask the clerk, in the convenience store, to open the apple juice bottle.  I can also say most strangers are very willing to help open something (or reach something from the tops shelf at the store) if you ask. 

I will also tell you it is a good idea to be able to laugh about it!  So......how do you get something open?  Something to think about..........
