You got one in the mail? How big is your mailbox? It's not a toilet. It is an addition to a toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs.Cicero Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I thought I'd stop at the Meijer this morning to grab some cat food...(I had to be there anyway to pick up my daughter who had spent the night with her BFF). I have NEVER seen it that busy on a Friday at 9:30AM. Having said that, they were restocking like mad, so aside from the lack of toilet paper (I don't need any, we always have 3 months worth stored in this house), and the lack of my favorite brand of tomato bisque canned soup, it didn't look like too much was gone... just a few weird items like no flour? low on sugar? and milk? but the number of shoppers wandering around with absolutely FULL TO THE BRIM large carts (not the little one I like to shop with), was just bizarre. I laughed all the way through the store. 25 years of prepping and I'm feeling mildly vindicated and wildly amused... all my freezers are full, the rabbits have all been bred and are due to kindle in 2 weeks, the chicken incubator will be full of eggs tomorrow, and I'm 4 days into conditioning my straw bale garden for planting. My kids are homeschooled anyway, so the fact that all the schools in the state are closed until at least April 5, isn't even a mild inconvenience to me. My husband's 8 weeks of travel in Poland, Lithuania, and Romania for work in May-June is cancelled, so he'll be home during planting season for the first time in 11 years. I've already started his HONEY-DO LIST. The only irritating thing about this is that the university cancelled the Australia program later in the summer, and that is $9K income we won't have this year... but we were going to use that for farm projects anyway, so we just won't do those this year. My only worry in all of this is my parents and in-laws health, and that of my friends in the 70+ age range. I just hope they don't get sick. Or any of you, either!

On an unrelated note, hospitals who stocked up on additional items like masks, gloves, and antiseptics are storing them under heavy security to prevent theft. They are under lock and key with cameras on them. My facility has what appears to be a 2 semi trailers worth under black plastic. Being in a democrat run city, Admin knows the supplies will disappear if given a chance. Is your hospital in one of the enlightened areas where stealing under $1,000 at a time is no longer a crime? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our corporate office banned all visitors. They banned all company-related outside contact for all corporate employees. But us field-service guys just get to keep on keepin' on. I've been through the Atlanta airport 16 times in the last six weeks, and will be there again next week. Nothing to see here. Move along. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think officially so (Memphis) but most theft under $1k probably isn't prosecuted very rigidly, and I suspect it would result in a easy plea deal with time served or a small fine. It's a democrat run city and now even the county is turning blue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they did that before, the Police Director walked arm in arm with them, and nobody was prosecuted for the various crimes committed during their "protest". Situations like that have me seriously considering a special piece of hardware. Bullpup shotgun with double tube magazines. 13 or more rounds, plenty lead to go around. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrB Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 After the virus hit here in Ohio Walmart has been crazy with the nuts. Parking lots full. I stopped into the local IGA to pick up a few items for the week. Situation normal there and they had most everything. Going to go to the TSC tomorrow morning, I need some water softening salt to fill up the brine tank and pick up some dog food. I'll stop at the local farm market on the way back and get a bag of potatoes and some onions and I'm all set. I'm all ready to read on the news of the fight over toilet paper here at Wally World.

tadbart Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 It is a bit silly here at the grocery store this morning. No terlit paper. Figured I'd get a couple steaks and some odds and ends on my way home from work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) I stopped in at the local Food Lion yestiddy aft. The checkout line was all the way to the back of the store. There wasn't anything there I was willing to wait in such a line for, so I left. Good for the economy, anyway.

Mrs.Cicero Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Church is cancelled. Well, not really, they are doing it online. I'm not going/watching. I'll be in my garden. God knows where to find me. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased enough material to make about 20 gallons of beer. I purchased six six packs of others...and stocked up on 1 bottle of bourbon and four bottles of scotch and one bottle of gin and vodka (martini makings). I picked up a box of cigars to boot. A man has to have priorities. If i'm going to self sequester....i'm doing it my way! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
