Ours has a pretty fair amount too. Even had a sizeable stack of lids, which were pretty scarce locally last year. I grabbed a handful of boxes of both sizes in preparation for this canning season. It was nice to see that stuff back in stock.

| It's good to hear that production is back up. I still have cabinets full of jars + rings but the lids were the issue for me. I do have an ample supply but I always want more in stock, just because times like the last 2 years can hit us at any time.

| I think we all remember Y2K well ,although it was a hoax it was a wakeup call for folks to keep enough groceries in the house to keep them for a while. I did not buy into the fear mongering simply because I believe in the basic human nature of greed, that no matter what the clocks say,the money guys will still have the money. That said, it didn't stop me from having 5 gal. buckets of beans + rice w/ dehumidifier pads + a generator converted to propane to supply the well. Realistacaly, none of us can live forever but we can increase the longevity by using our brains, which in truth is man's only advantage over the animals.

| Ann, I am sorry that I have to agree with you. I went through this in the 50s +60s in the "Cold War", now here we go again because of the same mindset soviet bastards. I'll be dead but I am concerned for my grandchildren. We can wish until we're blue in the face but right now I would love to have Reagen back at the helm + not this powder puff.

| With that Kabal in "power" in D.C. we are in trouble as a nation. I can't believe that anyone out there thinks that moron is doing a good job! At the risk of beating a dead horse, we all know the election was rigged + those commies should not now be in office. But they are + that is a problem for America. So much of the libs spouting is just a waste of oxygen, + part of that is mine, the oxygen I mean. + Ann, I am in total agreement about that sex option thing. Bottom line; if you were born with one, that's who you are + the rest of us don't really give a Fxxk about your stupid opinion.
