Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Marge, When you have to open a lid on a glass jar, here's a trick I learned years ago. If you take a knife, or other substantial piece of silverware, and rap on the edge of the lid, a couple of places, around the top edge of the metal lid, it breaks the seal and the lid opens much easier. Less chance of glass breakage this way. Been doing this for many years and never broke a jar opening it since. girlsaylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.
