My middle child lives two hours away. She calls at least twice a day to find out what I'm doing and tell me I need to stop whatever that is and seal myself up in my house with the Lysol.
My oldest has taken the scrounge for everything imaginable....even if you've never in your life needed it or know how to use it. My husband had our grandson while I was working yesterday so she could run to the pet store, but that turned into an all day event because she decided to stop at a couple stores.
She called and asked if I needed paper towels......and said all that was left were shop towels. I told her I was pretty stocked in them and NOT to buy them because I had no use for shop towels. She then tells me that she actually grabbed the last roll of them and some woman RAMMED her with a shopping cart because of it. So, here she is with a slight limp and shop towels for her trouble. I told her to come on home and settle down.
My son.....that boy is what they call "chill" about this whole mess. I asked him if he was ok on supplies at his place, he said he was fine. I asked him if he was off work because of this......he said no, and he hadn't heard anything. He let me go because he was playing some game with one of his friends he works with. I told him to expect a call from his sister telling him to kick his buddy out and not to let his oldest sister in his place if she came by because she might just steal his paper towels and run.

Nope. No way. Not unless I can have a free pass on my Real Estate Taxes. If not, It's essential my business stays open.
Screw Pritzker. He's a horses *. No offense to horses.
Someone needs to mark the calendar and ask me a year from now just how much toilet paper I own, because if nothing changes and I don't stop this its going to be interesting to say the least.
Not because I prep but because I am cheap.
When things that can last are on sale I stock up hence the supply of TP doing the BOGO thing.
I also have a life time supply of ammo in case any of you (I won't stock up I'll come and take yours) fellas come by.
I wish I could buy gasoline when the price bottoms for the next ten years. I would pay up front for say 10,000 gallons and pick it up 20 at a time.
That is how I view any resource that does not depreciate in value or usability

My dog groomer just called and moved my appointment around. She said that she got an email saying anyone that runs a home based business is supposed to lay off their employees for a month. I didn't ask where this email came from, but we are running like normal here.....so long as everyone wants to work. There are only three of us and we are at different desks anyway.
This life emergency is bringing back a lot of food memories from an old guy who grew up in a large poor family! I never back then even realized we were poor!
Learned one from my grandmother that I may find myself making again in the not so distant future. Poor man's gravy, made with the drippings left from fried hamburger. Good over potato's, rice, noodles, beans, lentils, grits, or anything you have on hand. Makes blah taste a bit more palatable!
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
