I went to put the new jar of mayo in the refer and dropped it on the floor, mayo shot 6 feet across the tile & stopped when it hit the cupboards on the opposite wall. Those plastic square mayo jars are life savers for clumsy people like me. 1st brilliant idea, I'd scrape it up with rubber spatula, which was working great, but then I had an even better idea, & called the beagle over, she started licking at the far end of the spill as I scraped up the majority of the mess, by the refer. She even got under the toe kick & you're probably thinking dog abuse, but she only ate about a TBLS, maybe 2, and it's about the same as putting a TBLS of peanut butter on the roof of her mouth just so we can laugh at her really long tongue. Anyway, only lost about a cup of mayo and maybe the dog's hair will stop falling out for awhile.That's what we have dogs for isn't it? Thanks for the smile!
OMG I don't buy glass ANYTHING..........lol For that *very* reason. I'm even banned from having glass dishes. Or even correll(sp) wear. I can break that stuff too......haha
Mayo? As long as it wasn't a jar filled with the tangy zip of Miracle Whip. No big deal. RA 101. One hand wrapped around the bottle and one hand under the bottle. And just what is wrong with miracle whip?
Nothing wrong with miracle whip. Re-read it. I love that tangy zip of miracle whip.
This is changing the subject just a tad but intentionally dropping the peanut butter to the floor brought back a memory our two older children provided.
When Corelle burst onto the market with the claim that though they weren't plastic they were unbreakable. Well, I bought 2-4 place settings and brought them home. Our two children promptly scrambled to the top of the kitchen table and gleefully dropped each and every piece!! Not one of the them broke. In the 35 years we've had them only two have broken. Yes, we still use them as our everyday dishes and they are in terrific condition.
I don't have unconditional confidence in the plastic containers either. They do burst, etc. but at least you're not dealing with glass and the problems/potential problems it causes.
levlarry - I GET IT!!!!
Blame that on brain fog....hahaha
Too funny! I had to marry my husband because he doesn't get mad when I drop things! He does roll his eyes and mumbles under his breath ... and it did take him 15 minutes to calm down when I ripped the mirror off the driver's side car door in an underground garage. Or when I sideswipped the car on the retaining wall next to the driveway ...
And I've considered the virtues of Corelle! It sure was great when we had it growing up!!
We received a set of corelle for a wedding present (20 years ago in March) I have all the plates and a few cups left. My hubbie has dropped in on the cement floor at work and it didn't break but if you hit it just right on the sink it will break.
Anyways, a year or so ago, I took my son to the museum in Spfld IL and they had a display of how the American home has changed thru the years. There was my ugly brown corelle dishes in a display. It was too funny. Now it is a joke around our house.......don't use the good antigue dishes.....lol they are in a museum.....use the paper plates.

I had a set of the brown ones too - wedding present 1972. My brother still has them.
Now I have the very fancy plain white correll dishes
You can drop them lots without breakage or chipping. About the 32nd time you drop it it will shatter - man what a mess. I break a piece once every 5 years or so.
Plus they are light!!!
Marian, better get em' back....they are antiques....LOL
Ok... this is kinda on topic...
I am banned from knives. Hubby does not like for me to use a knife for much of anything. As everytime I get a knife in my hands I usually end up cutting myself somehow. I am also not allowed to wash them. Yeah... had a few mishaps while washing them too.
*Looks at everyone* I said it was kinda on topic
