heavy duty can opener

 it was disappointing that the can opener i bought last month at family dollar didn't last long. i wanted a lightweight one that fit in my lunch bag nicely but when i went to lunch i noticed it was failing. only got the can of spaghetti open halfway, and this was dangerous of course. thankful i got the lion's share of the contents of the  can into the plastic container to get it heated up in the microwave oven. in the evening when i went to hy-vee in eagan i looked at the section where kitchen items were and got a heavy duty can opener this time. costs more but worth it if it lasts way longer. there were multiple kinds of openers but i went with the cheaper kind, still was 9 dollars. i like how it is from topco associates in elk grove village, illinois. not only is it suburban chicago, an area i once lived in, but i like the fun things on their packages. this one said 'lima beans, liberated. soup, served!' much like the food items from this company found at another store. so all i can say is 'long live to the can opener'. when i got home i used it on the can that was opened halfway and got the lid off, so i could wash out the can safely.  before i went to the grocery part i went to their liquor store and got a can of utepils, a local brew, so now there are 3 beers waiting. later in the evening i went on a walk and found 62 cents. the 'big bang theory' reruns were when raj thinks he is dating his phone. it was followed by the one where adam west guest stars and is a guest at sheldon's birthday party. at work a ticket i had opened for one of the check printers more than three weeks earlier finally was closed. a tech showed up mid-morning, after i had changed the toner cartridge as it was out of toner. no inspection of the unit was done, the tech is one i have seen fairly often. he said he'd talk with the other tech about it. hard to understand why the ticket was stalled for so long, somebody dropped the ball here. i was told my notes on the ticket were good, i like being thorough, guess that the cleaning of the unit was good enough.
