We consumers are supposed to be idiots and not notice that a pound weight doesn’t actually weigh a pound anymore.<<<

With today’s schooling, many of the shoppers do not know that there are 16 ounces in a pound.

LOL, I am not sure when I learned that fact, not as a child, I suspect.

Five children is a nice number for Italy and leaves you room for the one who really needed you.

Large families are so much better, I am not in favor of small families, as the single children do not appear to ever learn as much about surviving as a group does.

There were 5 of us, I was close to two of them, and now at last the 3 of us are close and Ray and Diana come here every year, at the same time.

Not bad for the two of them, who would never have planned to arrive the same day, for over 50 years, and I am glad, as they will one day need each other.

The other 2, well they are going to wish someday that they had walked a different path.

We had only the 2 of our own, but God seemed to always have a few other kids to run through the house, I have often thought that was why we couldn’t have other kids, too many that needed the contact, even for short periods.

LOL, learn to read the label, most of the ‘no name’ brands are canned by the same company that puts the fancy label on.

I prefer the Walmart canned corn, it has the most taste, to me, and I always thought that there were more kernals in the can.

I wouldn't doubt that one bit.

We are surely blessed in our home.

There were seven kids in my family growing up and hubby had nine in his so we were used to large families.

I prefer the Walmart canned corn, it has the most taste, to me, and I always thought that there were more kernals in the can.

Hubby buys Great Value canned vegetables at Wal Mart and by the time I season them with butter and salt and pepper they taste just a good as Del Monte or the other more expensive brands.
