First off I'm glad the season of impluse shopping is over. Now please stop
posting about stuff that I really don't need but sounds good.

My shopping cart/chair came last week.

And my swingaway can opener, jar opener and Sabater veggie knife came
today...

jeeze I gotta get a life.

I am avoiding to my best ability the dumpling press thread.

What means a shopping cart/chair? My motherr had one of those pull
behind foldable wire shopping carts, lots of people in NYC have them
because they walk to stores.... but I don't know what you mean by the
"chair" part.

That looks like what they use at the asylum to wheel Shemdon into the
shower. The picture doesn't show the fetters though.

Same deal as your mom, except it has a fold out canvas seat built in and is
slightly smaller as I have the other type foldable pull behind shopping
cart as well and compared their sizes.

So if I get winded walking around the mall and need to sitdown I can cause
I have my own seat.

I love Swingaway. They make the best can openers. Expensive though. I had
to throw mine out. Got rusty. Have a cheap imitation now. *sigh* One day
I'll get another.

Interesting. I never saw anything like that before. I know people
who golf and have a three wheeled push cart to carry their clubs but
they use a foldable chair to rest, the chair folds up like an umbrella
and easily fits into the golf bag... they are available in different
sizes and capacities. The same three wheeled carts also come in a
motorized version that is driven with a remote control the same as
used for model cars, boats, and planes, so you don't need to push the
cart all the time, especially good on golf course terrain which can be
quite hilly. Not every one wants to use the type of golf cart you
ride in, some rather walk, some just don't want to or can't pay the
cart rental fee, adn on many golf courses they don't permit those
carts very near the green so there's still a lot of walking
involved... and some just can't drive those carts safely, a lot of
elderly golfers run over other peoples golf clubs, especially when in
reverse, they've been known to back over people too... they become
confused. There are many golf courses near where I live, my
neihgbor's daughter works summers when there's no school waiting table
at the golf courses, what stories she has about the elderly. Some are
in their nineties and don't want to hear they are banned from driving
golf carts, but then they drive automobles, scary.

Yeah, well... most disibilities aren't readily visible. Don't let the
turkeys get you down, those who make comments have a disibility that's
difficult to see too, low IQ.

You bet it does! I get stares aplenty whenever I park in a handicapped
spot and hang up my permit. Plenty of people have actually tried to stop
me in store parking lots and challenge my right to park there secondary
to my "invisible" (unless you're walking next to me, when it's plenty
visible and audible too) disability. One of the night shift nurses at
work told me I had no right to tell her to move her car (which has no
permit) out of the permitted space, quipping glibbly "Okay, you come
into the building and take report and the keys. Then I'll leave, and the
space will be empty," and the aides, though apologetic and eager to
comply once informed, explained that they were told it's okay to park in
it as "Who's coming? Nobody! Who's gonna need it?" The administrator has
since done inservices on facility parking rules, access and the ADA.

Not here. Not the kind I want. I think they're something like $12. Not
all that expensive in the overall scheme of things but seems like a lot for
something just to open a can.

Great electrical conductivity, though. Too bad it hasn't helped him yet.

Was that last group of words beginning with "Rust" a statement or a
question? I assume the question mark was intentional, since you must hit the
shift key to type a question mark.

I just looked and I see they've gone up a bit. I thought they were
still about 5 bucks. But still, it should last a lifetime. I've never
had a problem with rust either.

No...standard hand held manual operated swingway...same for the jar
opener. Actually I got 2 can openers both manually operated. One olde
fashion cuts the can open on top type and one newer style that cuts the
can open from the side...allowing for re-using the lid to seal the can if
it isn't all used up. The jar opener works a treat so far better than the
type that breaks the vacuum seal.

http://www.cutleryandmore.com/details.asp?SKU=10867 is the jar opener

The knife feels very nice in my hand and has some heft to it.

The ones I've bought say not to wash them or they will rust. This just
seems creepy to me so I do wash them on occasion. Have never put them in
the dishwasher and they always rust. The little round cutting pieces rust.
My parents always put theirs in the dishwasher and they seem to have better
luck at keeping them than I do. When I start seeing rusty marks on my hands
after washing the thing, I toss it.

I don't know where you live, but I'm in the Seattle area. I think things
cost more here. I've seen them cheaper online but then I have to factor
postage in there so I'm not really saving anything going that route.

I got one shortly after I got divorced 21 years ago. It's still
working just fine. No rust. Maybe you've got weird water?

Most expensive: Anything copper.

My cheap-o battery operated pepper grinder, I just press the top button and
it puts the pepper where I want it, not all over the place and reduced my
wrist injuries. YMMV.

I've never had any problem with the handicap parking spots. Now I/ve
gotten to where I soon will need to get a permit. The ones that I get
ticked off about are the "pregnant ladies" spots. When I was having my
family, it was encouraged that a pregnant women need to walk as much as
possible for excerise....Sharon .....

I run mine through the diswasher, in the silverware basket with each
"leg" in a separate compartment so that it will dry spread out. Seems
to work pretty well.

Really. I see them for people with small children, too. I have
no idea if those are enforcable. I could have used Exhausted
after a long day and wearing high heels parking spots at one
point, maybe those will be next.

i heard an 'invisible' handicap story: this guy (who did have a
permit) got out of his car, and some yo-yo yelled, 'you look o.k. to
me. what's your ****ing handicap?' he yelled back, 'my dick doesn't
get hard anymore.'

I applied for handicap benefits years ago. They asked what was wrong.
I dropped trou and said I deserved social insecurity. They agreed.

On a more serious and truthful note, My brother went to college with
a guy from somewhere out of the US. In the 70's we didn't understand
the laws and the foreigner sure didn't. He parked in a handicap spot,
tied his coat sleeve in a knot, and put is arm inside of the coat.
Then he limped into the bar and got drunk.
