 JK> I'd guess. 

Hopefully pretty much all better now... since I've fallen so far
behind...  ;)  Of course, using it instead of resting it doesn't help
much...  :)

It is good...  :)

There's theater and then there's theater...  ;)

 JK> Well, what I have is somewhat small compared to a blender jar.. It's

Just useful for other things... ;)

 JK> Understand.  When we were young kids, Dad always worked 3 jobs to

Daddy was a college physics professor, alternating with being a civilian
physics researcher in Navy labs... earned a reasonable salary, but it
had to stretch for the increasing family (8 kids total)... and back
then, even college professors didn't earn a lot...

 JK> I don't know, I'll have to contact them eventually to see what's up

That should hold you for a little while, anyway...  ;)
