A bar just doesn't last as long in the shower as it used to. Kathy I would swear that the strength of the dial soap is weaker, too. A bar just doesn’t last as long in the shower as it used to.

I am glad that I am not the only one not getting 2 sandwichs from one can of tuna. I thought we have been eating too big of sandwichs.

I went looking for brighter ones for my living room, and instead of 60W or 100W, they were odd numbers like 57 or 93! I just can't see asking my husband for a 90-some watt bulb. Back on track--yes, the old recipes do require some figuring. Someone mentioned tuna: I can remember 7 whole ounces in a can! I think those new pouches have 4.5. :P Kind of off-track, but they’re making light bulbs with smaller wattages!

I've been cooking for 40+ years and so many of my old, old recipes call for something like "1 can of tomatoes." Really.... For years "1 can" was 16 oz. Now it changes so frequently I have to guess at it all and sometime end up wasting what I can use after opening two cans to equal one old size. One old recipe LONG before my MIL died 30 years ago calls for 2 Hershey bars. Yeah, good luck on that one. Bon voiced my gripe just before I could get to the reply box.
