    You a therapist now? You assume that I care about your opinion.

    I don't.

    I don't complain about anything. I live a life of total peace and freedom.

    Eat your heart out.

    You equate me, the messenger, with the message.

    I'm just relaying what others are saying. That does not mean that it is my situation and my opinion.

    You assume that I am in the same situation.

    You are absolutely wrong.

    You need to study Abraham Maslow and his heirachy of needs.

    ^ There’s no dislike button here, say for hash-slinger’s previous diatribe, but putting a like on the above would work.

    I just realized that with my last post I forgot to include this product pic.

    It’s very aggravating that the I can’t find any stores that carry Rislone products in quarts any more. It made the change just a little bit more work. I don’t believe that any of these products are at all being discontinued or that any of the companies are anywhere near going out of business. As it turned out, I had a little more than 7 ounces to meet the 3.9 quarts for the change. I usually just use the 4 quarts, but 7+ ounces is a little bit too much to go over. NO big deal. I just let it drain into my “extra” jar.
