y’all, can openers. the hand held kind.
is there some trick to these? do they just, cease to work after a couple of years? the turny part?
@Armchaircouch they can, yes. the gears wear out, or the blade gets dull.
Huh! I mean, I guess it makes sense I just for some reason… I thought they were invincible or something 😂 @redenigma
@NMWoman @Armchaircouch i have the cheap OXO version of that. i've had it about 10 years & it still works fine, plus you can repurpose the cans/lids you use that type of opener on for crafts... because no sharp edges
@redenigma @Armchaircouch How are you repurposing the cans and lids?
@NMWoman @Armchaircouch cans make pencil or paint brush holders. paint or paper or ribbon on the outside (or go nuts with a glue gun & beads/"jewels")
lids i cut out interesting bits of cards or fancy papers, glue them in like a frame & put a hanging ribbon on. or use as coasters
@NMWoman @Armchaircouch kiddo will be 25 in August. he was helping me look for something in my room Saturday & found a box of baby food jars... i suspect if i haven't used them yet, they can be rehomed.
well that’s cool!! @redenigma @NMWoman
@Armchaircouch everything has planned obsolescence now.
should i mention i avoided peeling potatoes for years because it was too much work... then i realized that just maybe it was because my 40 year old vegetable peeler was just plain worn out?
@redenigma @Armchaircouch
I quit peeling potatoes for mashed potatoes although my peeler works fine. I just buy Bob Evans Mashed Potatoes. I done my duty peeling for 40 years! Ha!
lol! A functional peeler makes all the difference, @redenigma
@Armchaircouch i bought a new one. i was amazed.
@Armchaircouch @redenigma I use something similar to this. There are no jagges edges and it is easy on my hands.
