I am trying to drastically reduce my sugar intake since my habit has been to eat several times the national average. I am just shy of a week into this and am cranky, and I had a headache yesterday which is unusual for me. Has anyone else gone through this? How long before I feel good again...

Our local Walmart is starting to carry their own brand of canning jars - made in China. I can't imagine people buying those over Ball simply to save a dollar a dozen. Has anyone noticed if they are selling, or are you like me and not at Walmart often enough to follow their stock?

I didn't see another area to post this - I hope this is the correct area. I love books and like to have reference books on hand. I look at several using my local library to decide which is the best for me. If they do't have a copy of a book, you can get an inter-library loan. They will try...
