How To Unroll Aluminium Foil


Do you struggle when tearing aluminum foil? Do you have difficulty keeping the roll inside the cardboard container while you are tugging at it?

Well, I have good news and BETTER news!

Good news: You are not ALONE! The entire population of aluminum foil users struggle with the same problem. (Doesn't that make you feel better!)

BETTER NEWS: Every container of aluminum foil or cellophane that I've seen has finger-holes on either side of the box that say, "PUSH IN TO LOCK HERE." Once those tabs are pushed in, they hold the roll in place inside the container while they pull a desired length of product with the other hand. You never have to worry about the roll escaping from you and unraveling across the kitchen floor!


However,

One day, when I have enough money that I don't feel the need to sell plasma at the local center, I am going to spring for the plush "Sheets" of aluminum foil. That way, I will never have to worry about those pesky rolls ever again!

*Thanks to Bishop Van Ausdal for sharing this bit of wisdom with me the last time I was at his house.

    What's shameful is that I know about that locking piece, but I always forget to do it!!! The square sheets are handy, BUT they are not large enough for many things and storing them is not nearly as convenient as they always seem to bend and get messed up!

    I agree with Mom. It's good to have both on hand, just in case. Kind of like having both Press and Seal AND saran wrap. :)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l
