After a hectic day at work, in front of my computer and on the phone
more than I wanted to be, I got home to a survey invitation in my
personal e-mail box for canning lids--I belong to the Ball mailing
list. I took the survey--although I don't usually do these unless
there is some incentive beside an entry in a contest--which this one
was one of those. It only took about 10 minutes. Anyway, the survey
was about changing the pictures/text on the lids and going to a
brushed silver vs. gold. I basically told them I could care less what
is printed on the lid or what color it is as long as it is a quality
lid with little or no failure to seal.

I agree with your sentiments exactly. Most usually I put a label over
their logo anyway.

I received one too. Which is kinda weird because I'm not on a Ball
mailing list or anything. I didn't know if I wanted to spend that
length of time simply to be entered in a raffle for a gallon jar.

I *am* on their mailing list and I didn't get it.

I've got a box of four, with plastic lids, in the pantry and a lightning
top gallon jar up on the top shelf in there. Since I dropped one I now
use plastic to keep my grain products.

I take it back. Now I have it.

Sump'n like that. And I don't have a good use for *one* one gallon jar
except maybe for fermenting cukes in and I've got plenty for that already.

OK....so I'm asleep at the wheel this morning! :-) Been running wide open
getting prepared to host 17 HS boys spending the weekend at our house during
Discipleship-Now (our Church Youth Retreat)

OB rfp related will be serving a dozen pints of my salsa during snack times
(2006 vintage) and making a couple dutch oven cobblers out of last years
blueberry crop.

Y'all are truly a saint! My sis & I were just talking last week that opening
a jar of home preserved food was a cause for thanks to the diety of your
choice for such abundance, health, and tools to preserve.

Thanks Edrena,

We had a great time! Word of caution for those considering a similar
*adventure* 17 teenage boys will eat everything in sight and can generate a
considerable odiferous *funk* in a confined space at just under 40 hours.
:-) Thank goodness for springlike weather...I left the windows and doors
since 10am yesterday!
