You're probably right but the packaging is predictably vague about it so I'm not sure. We sometimes feed her by scattering her food around the garden too so she's used to eating stuff off the floor out there, and might find a new smell well worth licking.kwijibo wrote:Flame throwering your weeds is definitely cool, but I'm pretty sure that regular weed killer like round up is perfectly safe for dogs - just give it an hour or two to dry up to be overly cautious.

Miss V's dad has done that in the past on their farm. A couple of kilometers of scrub and 3/4 of a haystack later he decided that it wasn't the best option anymore :Pdurbster wrote: I've recently been weeding our patio with a flame-thrower.

Well yes.

Re: Man points
I have to confess losing some man points at the weekend. Before I share, I am appealing to your compassionate natures and ask that you do not banish me forever.
At the weekend I grabbed a jar out of the fridge. And failed to open it
I did get the same jar this morning and succeeded, so have clawed something back, but the shame is still overwhelming which is why I've had to unburden myself.

I need to open jars with that rubber thing now. They're too hard to grip.

I use my shirt for twist tops (beers), last night though I struggled even using my shirt. I'm convinced I have some mild arthritis in my hand.

without making excuses, i think jars are being tightened more than they used to and the lids are more slippery. That's why i need the little rubber matt. I have no idea how old ladies would open one.

They have better seals than before. Stab them with a knife in the lid and the pop pretty good.

Re: Man points
I know some are really bad. Like the sweet&sour cucumbers are really hard to get off. Even back in my climbing days they were a tough task to open, nowadays it's a two-man job (or rather, man+woman).
One trick is to pry the perimeter of the lid with a blunt knife a few places till you hear some air getting in. Then it's easy.
If you stab it, DrPain, you can't re-seal it

Re: Man points
I know that's why I only do it to stuff I will use all of it or stuff I will use quickly. Once you break the seal, most stuff is about 7 days before it starts to go down hill.ysu wrote:If you stab it, DrPain, you can't re-seal it

Still good at jar opening.

Re: Man points
TOP TIP: Smack a vacuum sealed jar on it's base a few times and you'll be able to open them easily, most of the time. Moves the air around and releases the air lock.
Probably a joke about being air tight here lol

Re: Man points
Got some man points last weekend as I somewhat successfully replaced a rotten fence post. I used a big hammer to break up the old foundation, and ended up trying to burn out the rotten old wood in the hole because I couldn't shift it any other way. Hammers and fire = good man points.
Mind you, it took me almost seven fucking hours - three times longer than I'd planned - so I think I lost some points there

Run hot water over the lid. The metal expands making it easier to unscrew and the air inside expands reducing the vacuum.Muppet wrote:TOP TIP: Smack a vacuum sealed jar on it's base a few times and you'll be able to open them easily, most of the time. Moves the air around and releases the air lock.

Re: Man points
Just jam a knife or spoon under the edge of the lid and twist it. Most of the time the jar lid isnt tight, it has a vaccum seal on the fucker.DarrenM wrote:Run hot water over the lid.

Re: Man points
Actually smacking works - but on the sides of the lid. I've got this from an online video recently, and tested a few times since. A few not overly gentle smacks to the table with the side of the lid.norbs wrote:Just jam a knife or spoon under the edge of the lid and twist it.

Re: Man points
For my mind, warm water over the jar/lid is the best option. Other options risk damage to the lid, the jar and the seal.

Always tapped jar lid on the ground/hard surface since a kid.
