LOL 'My email is down today. I called my ISP - *they* can't log on to my
email address. And it's only me - not the whole area. Must be some kind
of "Jo Anne Effect". If anyone has sent me any email lately, please
don't expect a reply right away.

The husband and I recently spent a weekend at my parents' place. Mum and
Dad were away - we were just sleeping there and looking after the cat.

When my parents got home on Sunday, Mum was emptying the dishwasher. She
pulls the manul can opener out, holds it up, puts on her best "you silly
girl" look, and says to me: "Couldn't you find the electric can opener?
It's right there on the counter!" Apparantly, one does *not* use a
manual can opener for the cat food unless one has absolutely *no* other
options.

My husband's nephew visited us recently for a couple of days. He's
checking out the local colleges. At dinner the first night, he picked up
the pepper mill and made a comment about how "fancy" that was. I had to
show him how it worked.

Maybe that can be my post-Y2k career - teaching people how to operate
manual kitchen equipment.
