.maybe the people stockpiling toilet paper aren't that crazy after all. . See, I never did look at it like that was crazy..1) I use the bathroom around 3 times just within the first say 90 minutes I am up..plus, perhaps we will be at this 2 weeks, Or 4 weeks, and perhaps .more..since we do not know how long we will be on lockdowns, Who can tell us how much is too much...esp someone my age..who may or may not be able to go out again in the near or far future. I only wish I had of gotten more canned goods oh well. Right now we are ok..eventually we may be eating strange but we are ok...

It's the people that stockpile, then resell at horrid prices that make me upset.

Yes, price gouging deserves a certain kind of karma. Now, I stockpile stuff, in general. But it's with a mindset of sharing. I can't stand the idea of eating my beans and rice surrounded by hungry people. Or, for those that can't stomach beans, my pasta and chicken. Do you sew? Have a working machine? They are putting out calls for surgical masks. I wish I had a working sewing machine.

Sorry, Tina..my DH had things he wanted to do, then my BIL and his wife called us.
We are fine...here there are phone numbers to call if you witness price gouging. They even had a segment about a man and his friend who went around to various stores in a 300 mile area of us who would walk into a store, buy all the hand sanitizer and wipes and whatever else. They intended to sell it all at a profit..before Amazon took the item down, he had a bottle of sanitizer up for $70.00. He didn't have much to say when they interviewed him, but it was clear that if he had of sold anything he would have gone to jail. He did answer when they asked him what he was going to do with his "stash"..as I remember, his answer was, I am going to donate it.. Poor guy had no choice..LOL

Last load of clothes for today is in the dryer. I really need to wash dishes, I just do not feel like it...there is always tomorrow to do them.

Hi all.
I have declared the week ahead, 'housecleaning week'....if we need to be indoors because of the virus (and our terrible weather) then I may as well put it to use and start washing walls and such.

And I am going to go through my food storage and start packaging things up for my neighbors. I wish I could actually cook for them. But that is not a good idea.

This is what I bought the stuff for, Carol. In case of an earthquake or some other disaster that leaves us stuck and unable to go to the store. And I'm not feeding my family with hungry neighbors looking on. So I bought enough to share.

Well, it is all how one looks at the situation. Many people would look at the food they had and think well good, I am all set for what comes. You on the other hand are thinking of others. If nothing else, I am proud of you.
I am very tired and it is well over time for me to go to sleep.
Sweet Dreams.

Tina...you are a wonderful neighbor and friend. I don't know how long this will last but I do hope that people here start taking it serious....my mother called here again yesterday mad because we won't let her visit. She won't stay home...she was at the grocery store twice on Friday and once on Saturday just 'to get out of the house'.

Good morning See, Tina, it is not just me. Your neighbors are very lucky people indeed. Sunny, I hope your Momma does not learn the hard way about the virus. Best case scenario, after this is iver, she will think that you over-reacted. I say that because if she does then she did not get sick. Saddest part is there are many people with her mindset. Doesn't she watch TV ?

Good morning, Two more states have instituted stay home rules. There are not enough tests and such for everyone. What a mess. I hope more people get it and stay home. A doctor in the Senate was at an event earlier this month with a couple of people that later, tested positive. He decided to get himself tested. Meanwhile, while awaiting the results he had meetings with his fellow senators and lunched with them and went to the senate pool for a swim and.... He tested positive. Now half the senate needs to quarantine when we need them working on virus and economic things. Sheesh!

It rained here today and turned chilly. I didn't go anywhere but I know lots of people who are running around like it's a fun vacation. Shelley is keeping her brood home but she has to go to the grocery store in the morning. Colby is a 17 year old boy and has been trying to keep it under control and Shelley has a schedule, but the snacks are almost gone. I told her I'd go for her but she's got gloves and Tracy has the correct types of mask that he has to use for his type of poultry houses, and she's taking bins so they can be wiped down when she brings them home, so hopefully she'll be safe.

It won't stop snowing...ugh, I need the end of April to get here quicker. I'll take some warm rain if any of you want to share. DH turns 50 today....he is officially an old man. Junie, no my mother does not watch tv....the reason why? She won't pay for cable. She'd rather spend her money on gambling. How I came off of her, I'll never know....you'll never find a more different mother/daughter combo.

Good morning/ afternoon to you all.
Sheri, I am glad your family is taking this pandemic seriously..many are not, and that may be the ruination of us all. Stay safe.
Happy 50th to your DH, Sunny...I wish him a wonderful 🎂..I guess you will be making the cake this year, huh ? About your Mom..I bet you take after your Dad, huh ??? I know I am more like my Dad than my Mom. Rod would like to get rid of our TV...but That will not happen I assure you. I hope April comes soon as well. I "very much dislike" winter and all the nasty weather it brings.
Tina..it is pouring rain here as well..and also, every once in awhile it thunders for good measure. I keep telling myself that it is not ice...gotta get thru it someway...

Good luck on the tests Junie.

We are doing well, Sunny. Not so everybody. We've had our first covid-19 death in the county yesterday. Of 35 tested positive. No details yet or I haven't heard them. LA got it's first and a shocker "cause it was a 17 year old boy with no pre-existing conditions. His dad is also is hospital with it. That was the first of several, 4 I think. It is sad.

Checking in... we are well and doing ok here in south AZ... it's made it to our little town... I am home for good now.. hubby does the errands but we stocked up weeks ago and bought extra then too..he is home for the duration now.. we to are keeping and eye on our next door neighbor, she is a widow , in her 70's, has a daughter but she leaves her 8 yr old with her all the time... he exhausts her but she won't say no... don't know what she will do if they mandatory quarantine us... We made sure our wills and life insurance policies were up to date too... everything was ok but you never know... can't be to careful... scary times right now... On a happier note one of hubby's last trips out , he went and got about 8 roses bushes to plant in back yard , all colors and so pretty.. most everything back there was just greenery so gives a little color .. we just celebrated his birthday and our anniversary too .. so was our present to ourselves... My kids check in every couple days... they are ok... oldest is in NY and they closed down so they work from home now... so glad worried most about them... son's in Co and his dealership closed the service dept down except for emergency stuff so he is working mostly from home too... schools are closed so twins are probably climbing the walls.. autistic kids don't like changes in schedules … youngest dd I worry most about, works in grocery store and so does her oldest son... she worked 75 hours last week... I think people that have to work with public now deserve big bonuses and hazard pay... they close the reg down every 20 min and wipe it all down with bleach, cleaner and make cust stand 6 feet apart to wait to go to registers... I just read that the stores are putting in barriers too to separate them even more... hope that helps... Well got to clean up this office... need to file and put stuff away... not my favorite job at all! Stay safe all... Nana....
