No, you're not... Rrty had a (real) question to ask about opening a block of feta--because lets face it, that stuff is packed in there tight! But, somehow, the way he was very concerned over the issue, seemed to tickle folks a bit (and I am guilty because it did make me grin) so, it has now become a bit of a joke thread.
I am feeling a bit worried for Rrty about this though, because he hasn't come back to this thread... maybe we have to remember (I am reminding myself here) that folks are sometimes not in control of what worries them--and to exercise more understanding.

I am apologising to you Rrty if my comment earlier, was offensive, or hurt your feelings.

Flake, my apologies. I was avoiding posting just yet only because I had some other things to work on. No need for any apology, certainly, the thread has been hilarious (haven't read all of it, but I will). I do appreciate that sentiment though, thanks!

MadamMack, I will give that a shot. I'm telling you, opening this package is so hard for me. Obviously, I am not a chef.

And I will get back to the detergent thread as well soon. These are my housekeeping posts, it seems.

How to stop farting in your sleep?
You can try these easy solutions if you have the problem of farting while sleeping.
• Wear something tight while sleeping: If you wear tight clothes, it will make less noise when you fart.
• Keep a pillow between your legs. The passing air cannot come out freely.
• Don’t drink carbonated drinks before bed.
• Lay on your side or back. Avoid lying on your stomach. Because if you do so, you press your stomach more and your butt is up in the air.

Really? - they must be joking - you are sleeping for heaven's sake!

Must we control all of our bodily functions, even while asleep?

Of course, I sleep alone the majority of the year - Andy hasn't complained yet when he comes home but maybe he is just too polite :rofl::bad_smelly:
:Oo: Um :Oo: um, and exactly who's pillow would one use:ambivalence:???o_O Yeah I suppose it could be a 'special' pillow:confused:...ohhhh, good point, the one for company it is:rolleyes:

That and bee stings on the afflicted joints, well, unless of course.one is allergic, that and/or maybe in one's 90's.
No foolin', it's an old granny witch curative which works for many dumb, um, I mean, willing, to try it...hey I seen it work, my ol' mule skinnin' partner kept hives so he could blast his hands with bee venom, stopped bein' able to tie his boots, hold a spoon, much less open a jar or bottle til he started doin' it, yeah owwy owwy but pretty daggum nifty

I am actually a bit scared of bees and would probably pass out if I had to even hold one in my hand. :a11:

Mz. Flake, I have had one of these for years now, have not had to ask for help since getting it.

I've never seen one of these before, Haunted but thank you, I will look around for one.

Oh whew! I was feeling bad because I don't like it when people feel awful, I'm so pleased to hear you were just busy!

Did you know that "Fart" in swedish means speed or velocity.


!
I do now. LOL

Does the Kontrol part mean that they should watch said speed?? i.e. speed control!

I didn't until I found this image! Interesting!

Quick story (not about opening cheese packages):

In Germany on the Autobahn with Frank back in the mid 80s when he was a flight steward and I got to fly over there with him as "crew". We had rented a car to go touring.

Every few miles we saw a sign saying "Ausfart" so eventually we said to each other:

"Wow! that must be some big city, eh?"

...because in Germany Ausfart does mean exit :hammer: (as we eventually figured out)

p.s. not 'our' Frank i.e. Blunt - the father of my son Josh was named Frank
