I love PT because you can toss out a question/problem and you get real answers- not Consumer Daily articles!
I was reading a thread about buying a laptop and I got to thinking about all my old appliances.
Can Openers are the cheapest pieces of crap on the planet. For 10 dollars you can have about 13 months of cans opening. The last three are sketchy, but fun!
My mom's CO was getting really bad, so I went out and bought a new one and walked into her house, unplugged the old one and chucked it out, into the back yard.
She stood there began to yell about opening cans and what she was going to use and what are you doing!!!!!
I took the new one out of the bag and plugged it in.
That began a real fun tradition with can openers.
--------------------
When one was on it's way out, she'd tell me it was time to get a new one - I think she loved to watch the old one fly out the back door! She's ask, When are you going to throw out the can opener?"
That was my clue to get a new one.
As she got older, she had problems holding big cans and getting them to open. I became her 'sous chef' and got to open her cans and spy on her recipes!
It was fun sitting in the kitchen with her, god, did we ever have a time talking, fighting, laughing and arguing....
Next time you have something that peters out on you and there is some land to play with?
Have a little fun.
What is the worst that can happen?
I got my mom's thanksgiving turkey recipe.
