Back in March 2016, a new multi-media platform was about to launch. A podcast, radio show with written articles on line to support the on-air hi jinx. It was a new comedy, The Morning Kvetch. And they needed experienced kvetchers to supply material to the website. Enter me. I had a number of rants and rant-like bits that could be re-worked to fit their site, so it seemed like a good thing. No pay but EXPOSURE!
Yeah, not so much. Granted, my contributions to the site started to wane as the year progressed but I was very much surprised to find out the site no longer exists. It's just a Go Daddy placeholder denoting the domain name is available. Gone, all gone. So, I'm going to drag them out and post them here from time to time. So, let us present:

Why can’t I get this stupid self-adhesive bandage, non-generic package open?
They used to come with the cute little red string, and that kinda worked.

Then you just had to figure out how to get rid of the string, the paper and the peel-off of the bandage all while trying to put on the bandage while bleeding. Then they switched to some kind of peel-away paper, where each side of the paper wrapper enveloping the bandage would come apart, leaving the bandage in the middle, like a flat banana. Except the peel never peeled.
