Real or Delia?

This is definitely my last post tonight!

Just received an email. In it Delia's advice was compared with Real Woman's. My favourite was:

Delia's Way
If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dish-washing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

The Real Woman's Way
Why do I have a man?

(With apologies to feminists and strong women.)

Well don't think I am going to comment on all of them, although I read them.
On jar opening, my man is as feeble as me, even using the rubber glove trip so we now have an electric jar opener! How decadent is that, but necessary.

I can open a jar with the rubber glove trick AND with the spoon pressed upwards on the jar lip. However, I'd rather be able to say, "Sweeeeeetie! Can my big hunka burning love pleeeeeez open this for little ole men?"

And I don't care what the feminists say about that! So there! ;D

oops, I meant "little ole ME"

Liz, You have been a busy girl today! (Sorry, didn't mean "girl" in a condescending, sexist sort of way, just a friendly greeting.) I could think of only a few things to write all last week, let alone in one day!
As for the Alzheimer's post, I am taking Tai Chi classes, hoping it will keep my brain as well as body fit. First, your feet and body have to move a certain way, then you add hand movements. Then, while you're trying to remember those two, the instructor reminds you to pay attention to your breathing! I can't chew gum and walk at the same time, let alone breathe, too!

An electric jar opener - how cool!

Well, it's true, leslie, why have a dog and bark yourself? Or something ...

I think gym instructors live in a different world from the rest of us, rose. They expect you to be able to hold in your tummy and breathe too!
