Grandpa, What did you do During the Virus War of 2020?

Well Joey, I was a tail gunner on a Charmin truck!

Never thought I would live in a time where people would ask me if I have any spare TP. Strange world we live in now.

I'm telling ya, I am so glad that I happened to buy a jumbo pack of TP at Trader Joes a few days before this whole thing hit. I mean, I do have a home-made bidet that works pretty well but you can't blow your nose with that.

Today at TJ's I saw they still had their house brand Kleenex. I bought a box, 99 cents, it says 95 tissues. 2 maybe 3 cents per sit down session. Not bad, I might buy a few more boxes. Better yet, I'll go to every TJ's in the area and buy all the boxes. (diabolical laugh)

We had just come back from a couple of months in Florida, so we stocked up on everything at BJs, then, a couple of days later, the shelves emptied.

Living the dream at home. Counting and estimating the value of the returnables.

Out and around for a few things earlier as nobody else is. Not too worried as the wife mentioned. Since the swine flu did not get me. Nothing will.

A lot more stores will close as they are barren of customers. Many have already or are very awkward to use.

Laugh For The Day

Thank you for this ! .

When I was in line to get into Sams Club a nice man was walking the line giving each person two rolls of T.P., I demurred because I know others might really need it and I'm good for now .

engatwork is in Ga., don't they have any corncobs there ? .

(I was a farm boy long long ago) .

Ya ever been camping? Leaves make for a poor substitute 'specially if you're in a pine forest!

I’m trained to poop at work. Use their stuff. Not having tp isn’t the end of the world. Fortunately Ive always kept a Costco sized stock of non perishables on hand. I’m good for about 6 months if need be without batting an eye
