Know Your Knock-offs

Know Your Knock-offs

  You gotta love knock-off brands.  You can save money and you really don’t notice the difference in taste.  (Well, not too much.)

Can You Lend A Hand

Can You Lend A Hand

  Is it me? Is it my MS-riddled fumble fingers? Or is it an evil conspiracy of product manufacturers that I can’t open a bag, carton, container, jar or can without using some tool resembling the “jaws of life.”   Try opening a package of Gillette Sensor razor blades?  My God, King Tut’s tomb opened …
