I've walked out into roads without looking, and
I haven't come to any harm. (Yet)

Not looking seems to work for me. (So far).


The North American natives had a saying
"The gods look after children and the simple minded"

I presume the gods in question are Loki and
all the various avatars of Shiva and Shakti :)

Alternatively: I don't like to think of myself
as a god :)

Are you usually so modest??

Yes; since I look after children and the feeble minded,
I must be a god - albeit a god in the Loki tradition.

Oh, alright, if you insist :)

Ah, but you're a skewed sample: the people that have
died of botulism haven't replied to this thread :)

Alternatively: "and you'll go on saying that until
you have died from botulism" :)

(For the avoidance of doubt, I'm not taking any
position on the method you use to sterilise them
nor on that method's sufficiency).

Let's be clear that Kilner jars need to be sterilised in an oven and not
with the same stuff you use in winemaking, the snipping doesn't make that
obvious.
Do not try to preserve in a Kilner jar unless you do.
