Pressure cooker failures like that happens with very old pressure cookers. The ones built in the last 30 years will not do that

I got a hankering for BLT's. Dh won't eat bacon, so we're going to have them for supper, when he goes to work, Wed. evening. Tonight we're having orange glazed chicken, over rice, with broccoli. It's all packaged stuff, so Dd can fix it.

Holy Carp! OMG! I have my pressure canner for sale. Now I'm positive it's out of here! I can't imagine what that must have felt like although I do have a sympathetic need to squint my left eye shut!

Unless yours is very old, it will be fine. the new ones are designed to fail at the seal and not blow up

Not sure if that one had a air vent blow out thingy. Or how ancient it might have been.
I'm pretty sure our four qt and my MIL's old big canner is older than 30yrs, both prob 1970s ish they do have the air vent blow out thingy that has to build pressure to seal, our new big canner is built the same way. Now when you say the newer ones are designed to fail at the seal do you mean the main seal? Or the little air vent thingy?
I know there is certain things your not supposed to cook in them cause they can foam up or something and plug the vents, or maybe it was expand, like beans or rice.

Dh replaced one of the coop fans, and goofed up my misting system, and turned it off. It got to where it was raining in the afternoon, cooling things down, so I just left it. I fixed it today. It was a scorcher, and my poor chickens needed it. I integrated another BA hen with the other Black Australorps. They're not trying to kill each other, and things have settled down. When those hens integrate, I'm going to switch some things around.

Switch them into different breeding groups?

Or switch up the misting system etc.?

Don't guess I'll catch up for awhile so ...

My arthritis hurt bad when trying to move the quilt under the domestic machine.

Arthritis is for old folks, you are too young for that, cut it out!

I've worked in many towns around the state.

We passed through Farmington on the way home Saturday. For some reason I thought of you when I saw the massive cemetery right of Rt 2, both sides of the road. I've never seen a small town cemetery anywhere near that big. Maybe they have 1 big one rather than a number of small ones.

This is great! And now you're on the board.

Yeah, she was appointed without being asked. I guess they knew what they wanted and that way they didn't have to risk getting a "no thanks"

I was a young person with arthritis just didn't know what to call it. Others just labeled me lazy. Funny how an arthritic person(me) could out dig them, out wheelbarrow them with a full load of gravel, out walk them(distance). It all matters "where" you are arthritic," and how you can work around it.

Not sure if I have arthritis but dang my thumbs hurt, right where the joint connects to the hand not a constant pain but extreme if I move them just right. Have good health ins and think I should get it checked out just in case it's something fixable but do not look forward to it. Just deal with it. Probably from my days cutting bluestone, know I was close to carpal tunnel, wake up middle of the night hands in claws numb. When I was young 20s, hrs many hrs every day death gripping wooden handles on stone hammers and gripping the heavy stone, both covered in wet mud so death grip.
