Man - things are getting bad - real bad

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!:rolleyes:

Hope this helps Joehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vg_t23L2tY

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. :(

That was me! Little pizzed, gotta say?............................:ninja:

It really hurts when it's a real hot chick who you can't remember....and your wife is with you...

Joe, I open a jar lid lefted handed and find if I my wrist or bring my hand more in towards my body I can open them a lot easier.

bet that is the trick your MIL used......:) :) or at least that is what i would tell people ......

I had the same thing happen in a grocery store a few weeks back. This very heavy set older gray-haired lady walked up beside me,slipped her arm around my waste and said "Hi,it's been a long,long time since I've seen you. How have you been?" I had to wrack my brains while making small talk to figure out who the h**l she was until she asked "Have you been around our old neighborhood lately?" I said "Which one?" She said "You know where we used to live." Lord thunderin',it was my ex wife. The years were not kind to her,let me tell ya,I felt like an idiot...not that it hadn't been 30 years,mind you. Time really marches on,doesn't it?
