I thought I was the only one who is close to tears when trying to open plastic packaging I attribute it to getting older and lacking the strength to do things that used to be relatively easy.

I hear you. After hubby seeing me take a pointy steak knife trying to find the near invisible perforated "open here" area and almost stabbing myself he requests i hand the packaging to him. It's Fort Knox

Trump joke gets Queen giggling at 75th D-Day anniversary

"...But the stars of the show were the elderly D-Day veterans who said they were surprised by all the attention.

The Royal British Legion has brought about 300 veterans, aged 91 to 101, to the ceremonies in Portsmouth, where many of the troops embarked for Normandy on June 5, 1944.

After a flyover by the Royal Air Force and a salute from the Royal Navy, **the veterans will return to the landing beaches overnight, just as they did 75 years ago**."

**What does that mean?

Trump joke gets Queen giggling at 75th D-Day anniversary

They chartered a ship to take the last surviving veterans of D Day over to Normandy for tomorrow's commemoration. I bet it's a poignant journey, they must be thinking of all their comrades who never came back.

Why is Trump's hair so bizarre, is it a wig or weave or something? It's like three different colours and lengths and I don't understand why he styles it like that, all sweepy and flicky and forwardy...

What the heck is scalp reduction surgery?!?

Ivanka “often described the mechanics behind it to friends”, Wolff wrote. “An absolutely clean pate – a contained island after scalp reduction surgery – surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”

OT—You’re not alone! My husband grits his teeth and angrily mutters “space age plastic” whenever he has to open an OTC med or other item encased in the stuff.

IIRC it all started with the Tylenol Murders so companies could CYA and avoid being sued.

However Carol Burnett did a classic skit “Can You Open This” that may have preceded the Tylenol Murders. Enjoy!

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Phew...The way it was worded sounded like they were gonna be dropped-off on the beaches in the middle of the night

Just seen on the news that a 97 year old veteran who was parachuted behind enemy lines on D Day has done a parachute jump today to raise money for charity! So I wouldn't be too sure some of those veterans wouldn't still be fit to land on the beach in the middle of the night.

Discussing hair is definitely not political - wigs not Whigs!

Wow! That man is remarkable, I couldn't do that and I'm only 38. The Queen wasn't wrong when she said they're a resilient generation.
