For me with the occasional obstinate jar lid a rubber glove
works first time every time, don't even need to put it on your hand,
lay it over the cap to give a non slip grip.

Bummer. I was at the dermatologist today. Luckily, the problem spots
were just <?>skin damage, and I got a talk about the effects of sun and
age.

I went on a strict diabetes 2 diet. Lost 25 lbs. I am not even
gluten sensitive.

My doc swears I do not have diabetes. I had an OEG (not sure if the
letters are correct), a nerve damage work-up. I jes got back from the
doc and he thinks it may be something "impinging" on another nerve.
Hence, the MRI.

I don't trust doctors, either.

Good luck with the MRI. Nerve damage is awfully hard to diagnose, IMO.

I used to have a Ping Pong Paddle's rubber bumpy paddle surface pad and it worked OUTSTANDINGLY to remove jar lids! Just grip and TWIST OFF!

I believe that you're right about that. My boss had an MRI of his brain. The doc pointed out a couple of lines on the scan and casually said "it looks like you had two small strokes." Ha ha - that was fun.

Simply don a surgeon's glove, certainly you can glom a few.... just
omit the K-Y. I'd think by now you'd be giving your prospective
tenants vaginal exams. I go once a year to my Urologist, Doctor Linda
gives me great prostate exams... with her rack I'd go weekly. She
enjoys massaging my prostate too, I can tell that by how long she
takes and how she enjoys the results more than I do... her talented
finger never fails to get a major positive reaction. Dr Linda has
been examining my prostate for ten years. She loves how I always get
her to laugh, I tell her that I think we're more intimate than married
couples. She blushes.

Wear a hat!

I do and it makes little difference. I wear a hat, religiously, but I
also do not go to a dermatologist, any more, cuz I can't afford to. I
get "skin damage", but I don't trust doctors. (no problems)

Plus, dermatologists now have a new scam. A "consultation" visit. Ya'
need to see the doc, before-hand ($90-$100), THEN schedule AGAIN fer the
main visit. I notice a few dentists now playing this game, too.

Not sure how this "scam" plays out with MediCare. 8|

Sorry to hear how your system sucks. I went yesterday. He had a look,
gave me the liquid nitrogen spray. He sent an assistant to explain about
exfolliating and set up an appointment for me in another six weeks. No
bill.

I get that done every 6 months. Every few years I have a special
light-sensitive ointment applied that homes in on dodgy areas when
activated.
I need a new Tilley Hat too!

That's an interesting tale. The idea of a yearly manual prostate exam is nice twist. Near as I can tell, Dr. Linda is either an old country doc from the 50's or a hooker.

Yeah, I think Sheldon role plays with a prostitute. In his old age
he's started to think that she's really a doctor.

True, dat!

Unfortunately, this "scam" dermatologist is the only "derm doc" fer 100
miles. The other "derm doc", in town, is the unlicensed type (whatever
that is).

Don't judge them too harshly by the location of their offices. I have an
excellent family doctor whose office is in a semi rural area, semi only
because the city has gradually extended out to it. The dermatologist I
saw this week has a beautiful office in a solidly middle class area. The
one I saw previous to that was in a professional arts building in a
middle class area. I know another doctor who is in the same building and
he is planning on leaving Canada and returning to South Africa. He had
been in the US and came here, but he is not making much money because
the rent on his office is so high.

Actually sun damage is more severe in snow country, all that white
magnifys the damaging rays... skiers need to cover up and use the more
potent sun screen creams

When I mow grass I use sunscreen and wear a wide brimmed sombrero.

I haven't had that happen but I can certainly picture it. As others
have mentioned, when it comes to larger jar lids I tap on them with the
handle of a table knife to release pressure. Rubber gloves or other
rubber grippy things are helpfulf.

With a tiny bottle of vanilla... I probably would *not* try to bang the
cap against a wooden surface. I'd break the bottle for sure. The
suggestion of pliers came up. I'd likely run the cap under very hot
water. Vanilla and other extracts can be rather sticky. Just a thought.

Lol, not belittling but interpreting and explaining. Like with the
Bible or the Koran.

If the small bottle of extract had been used before I'd run it under
some hot water. Some extracts are bound to be sticky and the cap might
need to be loosened. I sure wouldn't bash a bottle of vanilla extract
against a wooden table.
