I have to laug...Thanks for posting and replying! <br /><br />I have to laugh because I'm all out of tears - seriously, CPSIA is aging me rapidly...<br /><br />So, I think more of us need to be video blogging and sending links to all of the "servants" that dished this up to us - let them see the faces of those they "serve" so well. Could it be that they don't care because they don't have any empathy for small biz owners like us that they are persecuting without any real benefit to anyone but...trial lawyers and politicians? I can't EVEN figure it out anymore. I give up!<br /><br />Okay - so, this is sort of related but, really, totally...off topic... I caught a news clip the other day, where they were saying baby boomers are now doing what is normally associated with college students - but to a lesser degree - a form of "binge drinking." I was in a public place when I saw this clip and, without thinking, I found myself hollering back at the t.v. screen, "with so many people unemployed and our Constitution in the SHREDDER - with all the insanity of RUSHED legislation - they NEED TO DRINK, are you kidding?!!" <br /><br />Personally, I'm thinking of buying stock in those lunch-sized paper bags. I find breathing into them to be a comfort...<br /><br />Thanks Rick. Hope to see more videos. And you MUST put the funny stuff on tape - you are FUNNY!<br /><br />Tristan Benz<br />Maiden AmericaTristan Benzhttp://www.maidenus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-68357481766846441862009-08-20T00:34:20.714-05:002009-08-20T00:34:20.714-05:00Tristan and Rick,
You are both right on target. Th...Tristan and Rick,<br />You are both right on target. This exhausting and unnecessary journey seems to have no satisfying waypoints or endpoint. For us the most vexing aspect is Congress' unwillingness to fix even one small part of the major problems they created. The second most vexing aspect is the CPSC's unwillingness to exercise even a tiny bit of common sense. Adding cost without any measurable improvement in safety is senseless. Our founding fathers would be ashamed. As citizens and business owners striving to do right while staying in business, we need to continue to be vocal about the issues and if still lacking satisfaction, use our votes in 2010 and 2012 to send a message to these politicians who are not representing their consituents well on this account and many others.David Joneshttp://www.kitbook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811142208729284263.post-86963584841079043132009-08-19T23:47:04.757-05:002009-08-19T23:47:04.757-05:00I feel your pain!

How about the ink industry adjust those sheets to show an excess of a certain level? Seems like it would be easier for them to do that and then those msds would be acceptable or could be.Pamela M.
