how to open a can of salmon

one might think that a simple meal of salmon on crackers would be just that... simple. that one does not have the same problems i do. rather than go into extreme details about how to open a can of salmon, i shall simply post the results of my method:


my walking buddy is sure to get a kick out of this. he continues to tell me that he'll purchase a dozen can openers so i'll have one for every room of my apt, for my truck, for both offices, one to chain to the counter, one to keep in my purse, one for the school bag, etc. yikes.

of course, my method is not the only way to open a can of salmon. this is also a good method:


this second method would depend, however, on the presence of the can opener itself.

re: the nightmare: talking to the people involved does in fact help a person not feel like warmed-over crap. it still bothers me, and i still see the more disturbing moments with vivid detail, but having talked it out, i know what issues my brain was dealing with and that it simply supplied the structure it knew would have the biggest impact.

i still long for an on-off switch.

and a can opener.

love and peace.
