In which Alexis cannot make PB&J

[alexiscartwheel]

For two days, a jam jar has stood between me and my lunch. Yesterday morning I had to abandon hope and leave my half-constructed sandwich in the fridge, or else be late for work. (Yeah, I left a plate in my fridge with two slices of bread, one spread with peanut butter. Pathetic.)

Today I thought I could conquer the jar, but it was not to be. Now I still can't have my PB&J and my arm hurts. Is this a particularly evil jar? Or is my grip getting that much worse?

Oh, jam jar, why do you hate me so? Now you force me to be all healthy and eat salad.

WOE!

Try putting a rubber band around the lid. It gives you some extra traction.

Do you think that would be more effective than a rubber glove? Cause I did try that without success.

Give it a shot - it might work!

I've also tried banging the jar on the counter, but I definitely don't recommend that. ;)

Run REALLY hot water over the lid for about 5 minutes. Take a towel and dry the lid off and use the towel to open it. It should twist right off.
