I wasn't bashing you, you are are a very reasoned person that tends to be on the correct side of issues.
I just tend to see more than meets the eye on issues, because I eat,sleep, and breath issues and politics.
I knew you weren't bashing me, and I took no offense, and I definitely appreciate the compliment, thank you.
For so many years I did the eat, sleep, breathe politics and issues and became very cynical - I have tried to back off a bit from it of late - it helps maintain my sanity :)
OTOH lately I've been doing the est/sleep/breathe routine on garden/business/cooking plans and seem to be losing the sanity once again!!!! But no one beats the price of WalMart for jelly making supplies, except jars because those are only a seasonal product there - but the department manager directed me to a local store that even beats WM prices and carries the jars year round!!!! So much for WM putting mom & pops out of business.
And with that said - time to go make another batch :)
