My kids understand that if they want more good stuff they have to bring
the jars and rings back. Otherwise, nada. Have trained several friends
the same way. Shucks, some of them bring me other peoples jars that they
got goodies in.

We're having a problem at the Farmer's Market with a person who insists
on trying to sell cakes and bread in a jar and jellie and jams covered
with wax. State inspector stopped by her booth today and shut her down.
Gave her the regs to go by and insisted she leave the Market
immediately. Can't say she wasn't warned, many of us sell home canned
goodies and had told her what the rules were, including proper labelling
as to contents. Some people just don't want to learn or listen.
