Wisconsin officially shut down for a month, except for essential business. Unless revoked earlier. Meowing@Home. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

Oh, S++t ... ... ... If you really want our company, keep flushing wet wipes down the toilet, plumbers say! People without toilet paper are starting to use alternatives such as Kleenex, wet wipes and other paper products that may be biodegradable, but do not break down as well as toilet paper when immersed in water. |

I understand your worry about your home and health. I was living in my car for three months starting in the middle of October the year before last. ![]() ![]() |

Not seeing so many parcels of TP , but there seems to be an increase in shelving units and such oddities as Inflatable Jacuzzi's. Volumes in next day deliveries are increasing, too many people with nothing better to do than shopping online:-) |

Since supermarkets here have imposed social distancing and a one in one out policy we have started to see more food on the shelves. (Rather than the selfish (car) drivers raiding the shelves and screwing over everybody else.) My father tells me it feels like it did when he was young. Rationing from WW2 didn't stop in the UK until around 1954. I doubt the present right wing government would have imagined bringing in socialist rules but I doubt we would disagree. A good tip for smokers is should you run out of TP there is always Rizala's. Get em whilst you can. (Just avoid the menthol flavoured.) |

All my work is inter-depot for a parcels delivery company, most but not all will be direct to home deliveries. |

Looks like some of them might have to "drip dry". |

Baby Wipe's are in very good supply here and I advised them never to flush Baby Wipe's down the toilet.Unless they want a huge bill from a plumber & sewerage in places it shouldn't be. Grant Darwin NT |

Today in South suburban Fort Worth TX..... Went grocery shopping at my local store today, was waiting in line for about 30 minutes before they opened. The city and county health department now only allowing one person per household in stores at a time and no infant or kid's are allowed in no exceptions. They also are restrictions on only allowing 1/4 of total occupancy at any given time including employees. They have an armed Sheriff's officer on the entrance and a fire department person on the exit with 2-way radio's to communicate when people exit and to let the next person(s) in. In one door exit the other side of store. They actually had a reasonable amounts of TP and other paper products in stock since this all started almost 5 weeks ago. Most other departments were well stocked except canned soups and dry pasta still lacking. I think the hoarding is just about over at least in my small corner of the country. |
