Well, I'm disapointed that you never even responded to my solution for opening jars near the beginning of the thread.

What cleanup, Henry? All I wind up with is a wet lid/jar, which I wrap in a dish towel and easily turn the lid. I've tried rapping on the lid with a hammer and that no longer works.

David, well, at least you can find your car. Not uncommon for me to come out of a store & not be able to spot it 'cause I forgot where I parked it. Yeah, my car is in the handicap spot closest to the door of the store.

A couple of weeks ago, I was driving around and doing errands in my hometown, which I know like the back of my behind, but somehow I kept going the wrong way over and over again, having to keep turning around to go where I wanted to go. Sigh.

Ha! Cathy. That exact same thing happened to me years ago, with the difference being that I was on a freeway amd kept missing my exit, turning around, missing it again - and again. The only difference was that I was 35 years younger and stoned.

Heck Pete, I think opening jars of almost anything nowadays is daunting, no matter what your age. I've been tempted to throw them against the wall!!! ok so a tempted.

One time I borrowed someone's car 'cause mine was being repaired. Drove to the store, got my stuff & came back out. The clicker on the key ring didn't unlock the doors. Figured it was a dead battery so I tried the key, which wouldn't go in the keyhole. So I tried the other key, that didn't fit either.
While I was standing there trying again & wondering how the keys aren't working when they did before I noticed a lady standing in front of the car.
Lady: What're you doing?
Me: Trying to figure out why I can't use the keys.
Lady: Because that's not your car.
Ooops, by coincidence she'd parked right beside me after I was in the store in a car of the same make & color.

I'm a bit more clumsier and would drop the jar, in the sink, while trying to get the lid to unscrew. Methinks, that is what Henry was alluding to, eh?!

Sometimes when it comes to jar lids, if you tap the middle of the top with something like a hand held can opener, it will pop that air seal thingie and with that pressure release the lid can the be easily turned to remove.

Still trying to cope with the grief. Been over a month and a half now and still trying to accept the reality.
And I miss the old board. Cannot get used to this one.
