    Thank You for sharing - this will save my fingernail (long fingernails - but is shorter on my index finger due to nidle and fingernail meeting).

Why can't they use the tools that are DESIGNED for these jobs? Bet you didn't know you could open a can with a pair of tweezers, did you? Then I have to go get new tweezers. I have probably 8 or 9 tweezers in this house, and NONE of the points match up.

    "Why did you use my tweezers to open that can?"

    "I couldn't find the can opener."

    "You mean the can opener that is RIGHT THERE on the counter where you left it?!!?!?!"

    "Oh, I didn't see it there. I was looking in the drawer where it belongs."

    "And how in the heck did you open a can with tweezers - wait. Never mind. I don't want to know. Next time you TOUCH my tweezers, I'm going to use them to pull your toenails out."

    And they giggle because they THINK I'm joking. Ha.
