Just putting this out there, but something i have been thinking about.
with all the tragedy going on over in CHINA, witht the earthquakes and the flooding etc etc. Have the factories that make Joes been affected? Could this slow production? Could it totally stop it? Im sure GIJOES FOR AMERICA Are on the bottom of the pole right now, but probably right below, finding clean drinking water, and food right?---not i am Not trying to start a "war" here, because i am not being inconsiderate, or iggnorant, i AM concerned about the overall human and the overall economic tradgedy here, BUT i am also concerned lastly about JOES THAT HAVENT REACHED PRODUCTION YET and other things that go with this DOC |

I have been thinking about that too, but I didn't want to ask here because I was afraid I'd look insensitive.

My bet is most of the stuff probably was in production all ready and is coming on the slow boat or in customs waiting to be sent out to the distribution centers.

I wasn't trying to say you were being insensitive. I was just explaining that I was afraid someone would think I was being. Your statement is fine.

Uh . . . Did . . .you just. . . ask if the earthquake will affect your monthly dose of Joes? I know I must have read that incorrectly. That is so wrong. I'm not judging you . . . too harshly. I'm just chuckling to myself at the type of things some people think about after a disaster.
It's like when you're girlfriend or wife gets into a fender bender, do you: a) Ask if she's ok? b) Ask if anyone else got hurt? c) Ask if your car is ok? This happened once to me. My wife gets home. Tell me the short and sweet. My first thought was, "Is the car ok?" But my first words were, "Honey, are you ok?" I felt quite proud of myself . . . but yeah, my first thoughts were of the car. But the flip side too all of this I guess if you have no connection to the area, then all you can think of is something that does connect you to the area. In this case, your weekly or monthy crack.

hmm good question.
I know that for the olympics it was proposed that all factories were to shut down to thwart pollution. Reference: http://www.allroadsleadtochina.com/i...fore-olympics/ As far as where they are manufactured I found this provincial article: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/b...inline=nyt-org |

Hey, I was just chuckling. I'm not judging the guy. After he raised the question, I just thought to myself: "Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. Ooh, I'm so glad I didn't ask it first."
