Don't fix the cut............Tin it...............

A while back, I wrote a blog about "Going, Going, Gone ".   The gone part is what gets me all the time. As a kid it was wonderful to get a cut and need a band-aid.  Why?   Because we hoped our parents would finish the metal container that band-aids came in so that we could have them.  They were wonderful back in the day for everything, depending of course the size of the container.  We would put our crayons in it, our marbles, baseball cards, stamps before they went in our stamp books, along with countless other little items.
     My mother would keep sewing stuff in it, hair pins, clips, shoe laces, and practically any small item that really had no place to be stored.  Today it would be perfect for small amounts of pot, and countless other crap lying on your desk or around your house.
    But NO, the Johnson and Johnson people had seen fit to replace these wonderful tins of all sizes for crappy cardboard boxes that fall apart as soon as you take out the first band-aid, or get wet and then fall apart.  But alas, it's the 21st. Century and we must save money on everything.
     I really miss those wonderful tin boxes of Band-Aids.  Maybe the only reason I do is that it reminds me of my youth and marbles, and baseball cards, and all the things that were so wonderful and easy.  I guess that is what being a kid is all about.

     So once again I have rambled on about something that only a few people will appreciate and will also remember their youth .  So I guess its not a complete Ridiculous box of crap.
