Man - things are getting bad - real bad

[JoePa]

You talk about letting the wind out of your sail - I was over my sons house the other day - his mother-in-law was there - well anyway - we were all going to have a snack - some hot dogs with some sauerkraut - they had a large jar of sauerkraut on the counter so I thought I'd open it for them - well no matter how I tried I couldn't turn the dam cap - just about busted my b---- trying - figure I'd have to run some hot water over the medal lid and then get it opened - before I could do that my son's MIL grabs the jar and gives it a twist and opens it - I made some excuse about my wet hands slipping on the lid but I know down deep inside my hands were dry - now MIL is a kinda big women but it really bothered me to no end - man I am losing it - I know I'm not as strong as I used to be - but - I'm still trying to get over it - but then maybe - maybe I loosened it for her - I bet that's what happened -

Don't sweat it Joe. Sometimes it is all about technique.
Look at the arm wrestling champions as an example.

It must be the arthritis! One of the pleasures of getting older.

Rotate and don't push down at same time, pushing down causes the seal to engage more firmly making it harder to open the jar. Bet that's all it was Joe

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

You're right Joe,...you loosened it for her. Happens to me all the time!

If you can still squeeze a trigger then it doesn't matter.

All part of being old Joe. : ) Someone came up and greeted me at Timmy's today . " SO glad to see you Sharon. Do you remember when...."

I have no idea who it was.
