Everyone seems to be trying to buy 6 months worth of stuff

The major malfunction is most of these people watch liberal news stations or read liberal print and have been hypnotized into a panic fever that we're heading towards TEOTWAWKI, therefore they have been revved up into panic mode and continue to be kept there because pf the increased panic of the stock market. One person gets all crazy, wild eyed, Monkey see, monkey do, or be a Lemming.

Same as some one jumping up in a movie theater and yelling FIRE when there's no smoke or flames, 95% of the people will go bat crazy running over people to get out. Fear is a panic enhancer and the more who react adversely to it, the more it multiplies as people react to others around them.

I had no idea they even made holsters for those things in good times. I was told you just shove them down your pants next to your twig and berries.



Good news he has a new pistol. Bad news is his new pistol is gonna smell like an ashtray for the next 6 months until it airs out. LOL



NO! ESPECIALLY with this mild winters, you want those critters around to eat all the ticks. Ugly as sin but man are they effective.



I'm in! I'll bring bread. Wouldnt by any chance have a tin of Jalapeno Cheddar Spam would ya? Damn thats good stuff.

And I grew up on fried spam in lieu of bacon because we were poor.

And mac and cheese makes a great side with it. get a little of that cheese on it. YUM!

I loves me some campfire fried up span and eggs all in the same skillet.

Up way too early.
Looking at the security cameras it is eerily quite outside.

Up way to early also, but at work. Left Owen County at 0230 to get to work in Indy by 0400. I live outside of town. All 3 roads going to town were flooded, finally picked the least flooded and drove through. Local market in Spencer restocked bread yesterday and it was going fast. Limit 3 loafs per customer.

Also, plenty of meat, milk, eggs. No TP.

Lots of that going around today. I just gave up tossing and turning and went in to work. Several other people already here are reporting similar experiences.

Unnecessary panic or not, people are being effected by this.

Getting ready to head to Kroger to pick up a couple of things. Will see how it is.

 

[ghuns]

There will be a crack shortage.

I read an article recently saying just that. Sharp declines in the supply of all illegal drugs with corresponding price increases.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Back from Kroger. No TP, very little bread. Only Jumbo, Medium and XL eggs. No butter except the fake stuff, no cream cheese, almost no sliced cheese.

I wonder why the government didn’t close down parking lot drug deals when they closed all other private business?

Sorry for your luck, just make sure to pee on what you did get.

I peed on it before I put it in the cart. Can't be too careful!

Ahh but the real question is did you pee on the cart first?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Of course!

I just bought groceries at Kroger in Greenwood near Worthville road and US 31. No toilet paper but Kroger brand napkins and paper towel. The vegetable shelves were nearly bare. Enough food for me to buy our groceries for the coming week.

Daughter went to the commissary at USMC base in Quantico this AM in search of meat. Said the line to get in was hundreds of people long. She decided to go vegan.

I'm just guessing, but I assume they are either limiting the number of people allowed in at one time, or checking people's temperatures before letting them in. Or both.

 

[Expat]

Went to Walgreens for my scripts. no paper products left on the shelves.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Went to Aldi and it was pretty picked over. Made a second trip to Kroger and got my biscuits and cream cheese that weren't there earlier this morning. No TP at either place. I'm in really good shape now though.

Up way too early.
Looking at the security cameras it is eerily quite outside.

The sidewalks in my neighborhood were flooded with people out walking.

The roads were a little quieter.

Back in the day, I knew people with more than a months supply of drugs ferreted away and no TP for the weekend. Some had guns with less than 10 rounds for them. This noon with the sleepy out of my eyes I toasted a bagel and fried 2 eggs while doing the dishes from dinner last evening. I've been hitting the milk a little hard as the jug is dated 3/16 and the next gallon is on the shelf waiting to start. What ever I don't waste I don't have to restock. I baked a loaf of white bread in the middle of the night do to poor timing for the starting. Again using some of that outdated milk. My hood has had the steady supply of traffic it's had all year. My neighbor pointed out my water hoard near the front of my garage. I have always kept about 200 bottles there on a small rolling dolly. It may be time to move it out of sight. I'll be auditing for any other prepping clues that can be gleaned from outside today and correcting. Like the red fuel cans near the door, Doh! Quiet other than my dog saying hi to the neighbor's dog and little terrorists. A set of twins that will soon look like a scene from the shining. LOL

FWIW, I've had good success with freezing milk for at least a few weeks at a time.
