    I saw a chick at Walmart yesterday wearing head to toe trash bags over her clothes. We are resourceful ‘round here.

    I am sick to death of women in my Facebook sewing group talking about the masks they're making despite the advice that a cotton fabric mask will do nothing against this kind of virus!  I've unfollowed them all.

    She sounds and has the expressions of Angie J. And the demanding and searching for her drugs brings the similarity home.

    I give her a little bit more leeway because of her horrendous childhood.  Angie J was just plain nasty.

    I normally love grocery shopping, but seeing the empty shelves makes my anxiety level spike. I know it's because people are buying more than they need, but still.

    Yeah I keep wanting to go sooner because I'm afraid they will be out of more things when we get there.  Even though we have PLENTY of food in the house and are not in need of any toilet roll or cleaning supplies.  It's senseless but I just worry.

    I'm so thankful for all of you in here and in the Live chats (tomorrow!). The snark, the sharing about farm life, has lessened the anxiety. 

    Since we now have to distance ourselves in real life having online communities is more important than ever!

  5. Just for fun I was playing with my calculator.  According to my scale this morning my body composition includes 70 pounds of fat.  That’s a whopping 245,000 calories of available “food” that I’m carrying around!  Even if I accepted a need for 2000 calories a day, that’s more than FOUR MONTHS of energy without eating another bite.  Nutrition is another story entirely and aside from needing water there are essential vitamins and minerals, however it makes me laugh since two weeks quarantine with no food at all wouldn’t do me the slightest bit of harm.  I am used to fasting three or four days most weeks, plus I eat very low carb so I don’t have the issues with blood sugar fluctuations that plague people like my husband who eats three meals every day plus snacks, lots of bread, jam (NOT sugar free!), juices, grapes, and other foods I just shake my head at.  So I’ll be fine in any case!

    We also witnessed an episode of the Great Toilet Paper Wars Friday morning, people were queued in the lashing rain half an hour before the store opened to get in and grab their (limit 2) 36-packs of toilet roll.  NO ONE that I saw had just one package, and as we left with our few items of food people coming in were being told that it had already sold out.

    The biggest impact for us is that we’re not going to visit our family as Europe is even more locked down than the US is right now.  We’ve told them all not to expect us this year and will probably not get any money back for the flights etc.  Staying in at home doesn’t bother me too much.  The only thing that would help is warm weather so I could sit out in the sun.

    He totally called out the girlfriend too, telling her she was obese and an enabler. She ended up being an asset ...but I couldn't tell if she ever lost any weight.

    I thought Amanda looked like she was gaining weight while Tommy kept losing.  Someone in live chat commented that she was probably eating everything she took away from him!  But she has "her own plan".

  7. I will never get on a cruise ship again in my life.  We’re also rethinking a trip home we booked back in January - just got sent an article saying travel to Europe may possibly be restricted and/or trigger quarantine on returning.  Yeah, the family might have to do without seeing us this year.

    I'm thinking that if worse comes to worse with the TP situation, we can buy a pack of those really cheap wash cloths at the Dollar Tree and use them as toilet paper.

    Apparently an Australian newspaper printed eight blank pages to provide another option!

    It reminds me of the madness before a hurricane. People hoard bread and milk, especially people who dont eat bread and drink milk.

    Well luckily I have well over two weeks of food in my hips and thighs so I won’t starve no matter what happens!

    All this talk of the coronavirus is causing toilet paper to disappear from the shelves at Walmart. Which is confusing my boss because he's been told this isn't a "baffroom disease."

    It confuses me too.  Of all the things I might stock up on toilet paper isn’t anywhere near the top of that list.
