[BlindTlk] opening delivery packages..

[Mark Tardif]

Hi, Madison,

I live alone, so here is how I do it.  I find a corner of the package if it 
is wrapped in paper.  That's an area that is sometimes easier to grab onto. 
Then I pull and tear the paper off.  If that proves difficult, or if there 
is string as part of the wrapping, I grab a sharp knife or scissors and cut 
the string that way.  Once that is done, if there is not a clear opening, I 
again look for a corner, grab onto that edge and pull and that does the 
trick.  If that proves difficult, that knife again comes in handy.  Just cut 
into the top and once you have a little opening, just pull the edge of the 
top and there you go.  Hope this helps.

Hi all,
Whenever I get a delivery and I'm home alone I always have to wait for 
someone
to get home to open it and this gets rather frustrating as I don't always 
know
how long I'll have to wait and I'd love to be able to open my own packages 
just
like everyone else. So does anyone have any suggestions/tips for how to do 
this
safely? Look forward to reading whatever anyone has to say!! Thanks
Madison
