Ok, it is fess up time.

I never knew that! Don't worry, I've had things like this happen before. I relate it to always being in a time crunch.

Oly SHI-! I would have never admited this, lol. But heck yes every time I open the tin foil the dag thing falls on the ground and its a mess. I often wondered, there has got to be a better way. Now I know that there is.

Thanks for sharing this with us Cindy. Now I'm gonna teach that tin foil a lesson or two!

So true Beth.
That was the thing about the salt and sugar exchange for me too.
I don't buy salt in the bag, It was probably done at the product maker place.
See I knew it wasn't me.

And about the circles on the end of the boxes, That must be something new
I am getting private messages about that and people are asking me to be
more clear as to where they are. and then....
Nope !!!
Not on their boxes,

So maybe it isn't me after all.

Cindy

Cindy!

I did not know this. You enlightened me about these tabs of half circles on the sides! Next time I buy some I'll know what to do about this....

I"ve not had the sugar exchanged for salt by gremlins meddling with my recipes... but then I don't buy salt by the bagful? But.... the plastic wrap has always been my nemesis...it just doesn't want to unroll from the tube in a way that it can be used for a wrap over anything bigger than a cookie!

Wonderful to see you Shamrock

Speaking of Libras...
For those who don't know Libras are the sign of the scale
Balanced, that is.

Years ago I was working with a gal , Diana. She was just a delight.
We worked well together because one did what the other didn't want to do and was better at . And the other did the same. Actually I think you could say were were a true team.
We got along wonderfully. One day we talked about our dates of birth.
Well come to find out our birthdays were the same October 10.
We were bo

Hello Cindy This is Shamrock and I am following right along at age 61

There must be a few of us 50+ libras floating around in here! I just hit the Big 50 this year!

Thank goodness you can relate Phyllis

Hey Cindy
I always knew there was a bond between us. But a box of plastic wrap!
Who would have guessed?

Gremlins and The Murphs-- Spawn of Murphy's Law+ The Just Plain "Got Cha's"! LOL! :)

You know that is true about the sugar and the salt exchanging containers.
I still to this day do not know how it happened I made cookie to take somewhere and thank goodness i couldn't resist taste testing one.
I used SALT in place of the sugar.
To this day I think it was gremlins.

Since my love for the kitchen forces me to do battle with many violent items (I'm 55- and a Libra, like you) I can assure you that my Peaceful disposition has been tested many, many times... Fighting with plastic wrap required Judo lessons, Wax paper-- which seems to burst into flames and melt when it touches anything above room temperature has been a source for many insane nightmares... Olive jars, are simply the invention of Sadists, Pickled beets will always explode and spray everything in s

LOL.. I enjoyed this. Having kids at home, this still happens. It kind of depends on who opens the box.... :) Lynn

Karen, You must not yank as hard as I do. I have stood there with the whole roll on the gound and me holding onto the plastic, and you know you can't roll that stuff back up onto the roll.
And I must say if I pushed those little circles I wouldn't open the box.
So maybe you don't have the circles I am referring to?

They are at each END of the box.

Cindy

LOL....yes I learned that too..after going through that many times.

Oh Cindy...

You are a hoot! We must get different brands of tin foil because mine has no little half circles... unless you mean to open the box? You press on the two circles and the box pops open - then there's a little tab at the start of the roll. I've not had the whole roll come out though...
