I was never a ripped muscle man that could tear fags like Tiny in two with his bare hands… but I could do anything a farm boy was expected to do. The wife brought me a jar the other day and I was astonished when I couldn’t open it!!! I have this silicone-sticky-grabby-pad-thing meant expressly for opening stubborn jars and with that and a little murderous road rage … I finally got it open.
😞
I used to open those things with a dirty look! Ughhh. Now I am so fuggin old I’m starting to lose muscle mass. I will be as weak and helpless as Chutes or Mike at this rate! I’m seeing it in other things too. I may be forced to start doing more work and chores, dammit. It’s part of getting old I suppose…
Or maybe I need more pickled eggs and sauerkraut in my diet..😊💨
Yeah… that’s it!
Just add some boiled red beans and honey, you’ll be okay
ReplyDeletedon't ever get prostate cancer if you want to try to and stay a man.
ReplyDeletethey told me testosterone is like throwing gas on a fire. i went from
a 380 psa down to less than 0.1 . 71 years old and they've tried to turn me into a little girl. life goes on, kinda.
Not this Mike, I still throw 50lb bags of feed over my shoulder, then its 25+ yards to the chicken coop, 35 yards to the Dog station, on a hill (we won't talk about my mental issues).
ReplyDeleteIt's not your fault, you were a white collar guy making real money. I was still climbing trees at 64, in 2015 when we moved to Tennessee. 75 in less than 2 weeks, pretty sure people should send me ammo for my birfday...or silver, jussayn.
Address?
DeleteTennessee,...wait, all of a sudden, I'm worried about commieJewSatanists trying to get my precious bodily fluids! Oh what do I do...ammo...precious bodily fluids...ammo...precious bodily fluids...ammo......AAAAAGGHHH!
DeleteHold jar firmly in one hand turn over and palm strike the bottom. Contents of jar slam the lid and break the seal.
ReplyDeleteSame here, the hardest ones for me are the Walmart brand of salad dressings. I think the machine that screws on the cap needs to be calibrated. So then I get the cap off with the help of a jar opener, then the seal covering the opening is super glued and impossible get a grip on any of the 4 tiny tabs. Have to stab it with a knife and pry it off.
ReplyDeleteP E & S spells gas does it not?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Brigid should try putiing the jars between her legs and squeezing.
ReplyDeleteYep, I,m so old that I remember when we needed to rub the rocks together to get dirt to plant the peanuts. Age sucks!
ReplyDeleteYour muscles will grow faster than your connective tissues (ligaments, tendons) so you need to take things slowly. If you do tear a ligament or tendon, they heal very slowly because they have almost no blood-flow.
ReplyDeleteDon't just listen to your body shouting at you. Learn to listen to the whispers.
I have found it useful to take a damp wash cloth and heat it in the microwave. Then put it over the cap. Works great for plastic caps. Works OK for metal.
