But gotta say, #11 - we did try that shit back in the 70's, we just weren't pussies about it. And no, we never told our parents, we just hid the scabs and scars and kept going.
^^This^^ Hide the blood, bandage and have a story already made up. I’m lucky to be alive and my Guardian Angel turned in his wings saying, “Oh fuck this!” when I hit 14-15.
#1 - A piece of rubberized shelf liner works wonders; oil filter wrenches work great, too. Or dipping the jar lid in very hot water is another solution. If you are not bright enough to think outside the box, you deserve to go hungry because you can't get the jar open.
I gave my mother one of these 10-12 years ago. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/kitchen/kitchen-tools/can-and-jar-openers/44271-lee-valley-jar-opener?item=50K4101 (Note - the Canadian price is $19.50 the US price should be 30% less) She's 83 now, suffers from fibromyalgia but has no difficulty opening jars with this tool. I have one and when I had shoulder surgery in '00, wrist surgery in '07 and a broken arm this year I had no problem. Al_in_Ottawa
We did have stupid people back then, but they did stupid things and died. We had stupid parents, too. leave your kids in the car while shopping, you kill them. In both of these cases, Darwin kept the gene pool clean.
#11 I, uh, beg to differ.

DeleteYou survived. As the old saying goes, nobody talks about stance or what gun, only who walked away and who didn't.
DeleteFunny shit
ReplyDeleteOMG great list!

#19: Don't let childhood muscle memory kick in to make you lick the spatula!

ReplyDeletePrying the lid away from the jar to break the vacuum works great
