Couple of links I thought might be of interest to the group:

http://www.davidlebovitz.com/2010/06/jars/

Hi--My name is Mimi and I am a jar-a-holic. I bought two cases of
jars today...I really didn't 'need' them. I thought they were 'cute'
and was concerned that if I didn't get these 'cute' jars NOW, the
store would run out of them, never carry them again and I would regret
not getting them.

Then there is this one:

http://www.foodinjars.com/2010/05/th...-canning-jars/

It is truly amazing...I have a 'special' stash of jars too.

[Is any of this normal???]

You're perfectly normal for this group Mimi.

Hi! I'm George and I have an entire pantry and a closet full of jars. I
also hit the thrift shops on a routine basis. If I give you jams and
jellies or pickles I fully expect to get the jars and rings back, sooner
rather than later. If I don't, you're off my gift list.

I have a number of special jars, some going back fifty years or more,
they're still good so I still use them, at least the ones that take a
two-piece lid.

I don't think there is a twelve-step program for canning junkies, is there?
