A week and a half ago I asked about how to avoid fiibrous and otherwise
icky avocados. Suggestion was made about pressing on the area
surrounding the stem. I've done it and it works. Thanks, Janet
Bostwick (I think you were the one who recommended that check).

Press on the stem end with your finger. It should give a little.

BTW, I just bought 3 lovely ones for $1 each at HEB today. Usually the
