  My new can opener is very easy to use, unlike some I've had before.  :thumbup:

What brand and where did you get it?  I have one that I find easy to use that is mounted on the wall but it seems I am the only one who has mastered it,  so I get called to the kitchen every time a can needs to be opened.  It would be nice to have one that my wife and daughter could use with out all the yelling and cursing that occurs when they try the one we have before they call me out to open the can

  Can't find the cardboard it came with, but I think it is from the supermarket line of products.  But ...
   I may have spoken too soon.  It works fine once I get it to grab the edge of the can, but I am having
   trouble with that now.  So many can openers seem not to want to do what they're made to do.  :CanofWorms:

I found that can openers must be dried while open (gears not touching each other).  Otherwise they don't seem to cut after a while.

  I had not thought of that!  I will remember it from now on!  :orly:

I laughed a lot today

  A day with at least one good laugh is a day well lived. :hug:

It's been a year since PA passed away.  I've managed to hold it together and The PR hasn't said anything which is good.  She's focused on a cold (allergy).  If she feels guilty about not remembering what today is I plan on telling her that he's here, there, everywhere, every time.  We just have to call him up in our hearts.

My sister posted the sweetest and most truthful thing about him: 

Louis was a good soul. I miss his laugh the most and the twinkle in his eyes right before he started laughing.

Pardon me while I go have a teary moment.

  May that twinkle stay ever in your hearts. :hug:

Curious as well.

I have a manual one, kind of want an electric...but probably going to get another just like it.

Damn thing is easy to turn and has lasted 10 years. It's just starting to fuck up now and then.

  I spoke too soon, it's beginning not to want to grip the edge of the can.  :autism:

Pizza happened today and that's always a good thing. Found a place that actually delivers to my house (I live in the country) so that was even better!

  Pizza In The Country could be a great album name!    :Rock:

The ones I'm microwaving seem to be reacting nicely, and the color of the reaction is indicative of a quite pure clean product being formed.

I'm an inconspicuous hoarder, so it's not really noticeable.  :dunno: I'm pretty sure I inherited the toilet paper thing from her anyway.  :zoinks:

Well I guess I'm sticking to the kind I have then.  :laugh:

I have a Zyliss, it just rolls around along the edge and separates it.

It was a learning curve on how to use it at first, and it doesn't like some cans, like those tapered salmon cans. I keep a generic backup hanging around just in case for those.

  It's working well enough to open my cans of tuna, so I'll be OK for awhile.  :autism:

Chopped up the chicken breasts from the deli chicken and made chicken salad.
