I had a kit and used it. It told me I was clear and to enter the figure "2" into the 'phone app. Could not find where to enter so asked app provider with no reply. Still not done!

[buttons-and-bows]

yes Maple a lot of food has changed and drinks look at lucozade they should name it limeozade now and my toothpaste i use well it's a totally different taste, i do know that the supermarkets well one at least asked a butchers to leave something out of their products to reduce the cost as he refused and posted it on FB and i know it's true as we know the butchers, he was furious and refused to do it, a very high class butcher in this area.
I am doing my Christmas cards at the moment see if it can get me out of the mood i woke up in, sick of this bloomin virus ruining all our lives

Re changing flavours & scents - my son works for Irn Bru in their lab. Every new batch of any ingredient is tested rigorously because if they change anything they get hundreds of angry letters.

[CarnoustieCats]

Barr's Irn Bru is just perfect - and yes every time the company changed hands so to speak the new owners tried to change it
and people did notice ... I remember the campaigns they held up here - really amusing, a matter of national importance even ... great fun

We grew up brainwashed 'cos Irn Bru was .. Made In Scotland Frae Girders

Meant to say .... tell your son he is going a grand job ... the flavour is just right every time

It's nice to know something is still the same

Very dark and gray and then it starting to snow. So far, it's sticking to the ground. (But I have heat )

About perfume.
* I love the Avon Hawaiian White Ginger and Lauder's Lily of the Valley.
They don't make those and recommend something else. Ish! I actually paid over $50 for a partial bottle of Avon's Hawaiian White Ginger. I hope it will last until my end. Those perfumes would last all day on my mom. I would spritz the bed sheets with these scents to have found memories of my mom.
* The smell of Press shampoo scent would last in my mom's hair. It was such a fresh scent. I still wash my hair, on and off, with Prell. I also have a window cleaner using Prell in it. (Best window cleaner)

I just haven't been able to settle down to get some more work done.
On pins and needles of trying to bring some of my own handmade products to the market.
