Comment on Big Oskar Saga Continues…. by Bill

Well, there’s always trying for the Guinness Book of Records for the largest collection of nonfunctioning Big Oskars. I feel your sigh …

Oh. no. The Big O II and I traveled around from circuit to circuit, and he remained universally dead. The manual said a lot about mis-chopped carrots – something that is not a problem here since we have not made even the first chop. No re-set. I am thinking maybe jumper cables…. Or possibly that hard-to-come-by moment of resolution like the one that, in fact, shoes are no longer made in a AAA heel width, and one is destined to slosh around forever in a medium. Sigh….

Well, I hope their wedded bliss didn’t go the same way under the rafters. I don’t suppose you plugged The Return of Big Oskar into the same circuit as the old, faithful Oska, the First. Maybe it’s the circuit? Does the manual (if you didn’t shred it with the other stuff) mention anything about some kind of reset switch like on garbage disposals? Just trying to be one of the many conduits for the Universe here. Of course, I have a reputation for being a clogged drain when it comes to “downloading” extremely meaningful insights from that source.

Good to see you last week! Take care of yourself and remember, no heavy lifting! It might be just the time to read a wonderful novel and sip iced tea.

Glad we were not the only button-snatchers!

Oh Pat! How I related to this piece. “Our family history of button-snatching!” Thanks for these gentle reminders and a laugh.

Comment on Expiration Date’s A Debate by Sally Wieder

This column really had me laughing as I thought about the milk we faithfully sniffed each day after the May 21st expiration date, before pouring it on the cereal. Finally finished it yesterday – with no casualties. And then there’s the leftover spaghetti sauce that’s been in the refrigerator about four months. And the stick of butter sitting in the butter compartment about two months. How can you tell what the expiration date is on an opened stick of butter? The rule of thumb of an old friend was, “Just leave it in the refrigerator. Once the green mold appears, throw it out.” Thanks for a good laugh.

Will do, Debbie! Sorry I just found your comment here. I am picturing the lizard food and wondering what was in it. I hope the lizard fared better than the processor.
