Child-proof medicine bottle

I had a cold but sunny walk to church yesterday morning, it was 1C (34F).  But I went back inside the house to change and bundled up in my winter coat and it was fine.  The night before we went out to dinner with some friends (Zaffron Persian restaurant).  My husband M and I shared a wonderful whole roasted fish.  I'm not really a fish lover, more into lobster, shrimp and crab, but it was a great meal, it felt almost celebratory.  I'm sure the waiter said it was a fresh trout that had just come in that day.This restaurant also does a delicious 'chicken barg kebob' that melts in your mouth.  My son K came along as he is not one to miss a nice dinner out.

As an update to my post last week, here is a photo of the offending medicine bottle cap. It's not the greatest photo, but can you notice where it indicates steps '1' and '2'? So you press in at either side of the container then twist counter-clockwise at the same time.

That type of cap is very difficult for arthritic hands, so I would complain to the pharmacist. It's nice to have dinner with friends isn't it.

That meal sounds wonderful, you have made me hungry again. It's cold and wet here today, I think I will be staying home! Valerie

Sounds like a great meal. I typically prefer lobster, shrimp and crab, but I also enjoy salmon, now and again.

you really are adventuresome with your dining!! We have some of those child proof caps, what a pain but if it saves one child I don't mind the nuisance,

I've tried to open some bottles like that one. They're VERY difficult.

Laurie you make a really good point here. As a matter of fact, I did swallow some aspirin as a 3 year old, I must've just thought it was candy and had to have my stomach pumped.

Mom's hospital pharmacy now gives the option to get non child proof bottles which is easier on the elderly.
