After dragging your butt on the ground like a dog or twerking on a tree...
Today people can scrape it off with their iPhone instead of a stone.

When going green watch out for leaflets three.

Yes they work well! Shower hose ok, but more towels and time needed.

I won't need any toilet paper. I can't even get groceries. I placed a pickup order at Wal-Mart as soon as I saw a spot available yesterday. Just got the substitutions and out of stock list. 37 items. Pretty much the whole order and I didn't even attempt to order TP, soap, sanitizer, etc... Basically all meats, are out of stock there, fresh or frozen... at least anything that I tried to get. No eggs or milk. Tried getting 2 kinds of each thinking maybe 1 would be in stock. Pretty much all that's left of the order was some shaving cream, condiments, sodas, chips and some vegetables. Guess I'm converting to vegetarian if this goes on for long.
I'm not even trying to stock up. I only shop every 2 weeks because I don't enjoy grocery stores that much, so I always get a lot at once. I kinda figured if I shopped closer to normal then it would make it easier on everyone. Turns out I'm just the sucker that leaves more for someone else to hoard. Hopefully people calm down at some point and realize we'd all be fine if everyone just shopped like normal. I don't have enough faith in humanity to believe that's gonna happen soon, but I can dream.

Same problem over here with ass wipes etc. Why toilet rolls though dont make sense. People and businesses are taking the initive are pulling together locally though shops are only letting the elderly in till 9.00am and the vulnerable due to the virus then the free for all begins but they are limiting what you can have so thats good. Local hotel son is a chef in has layed off all its staff bar him and a few others and doing a drive through style to order your meal and take it home with you, also quite a few other bakers and others are doing home delivery to for those who cannot go out. I was told late the other night not to do the schools anymore till after easter even my manager said could be longer. But she fought for us zero hour staff to be paid for the work ahead we have already booked, dont think the main bosses liked it in the ivory towers they inhabit in Aberystwyth. I am very lucky as I book mine through in September so I know what I am doing till July. Even got bookings for the next school year after August. Yes times will be hard as not all schools book early but I have suffered hardship before and this will be easier at least I will have something coming in. I feel for those who have no work and no money, hopefully they will be looked after.
At present we are isolating as Yolanda is ill and do not want risk passing everything on.

I shop like Brent. I am worried about food and breakdowns in the supply chain. I also worry about basic systems, water, sewer, gasoline, gas, electricity, hoarders, and human animals, etc. Our economic systems are fragile. I probably won't survive this chaos. I am in a very high risk group due to age and health. I also know enough biology to know we are doomed. It was only a matter of time until this or other things happened. This virus, mutations, and chaos will be around for years.

I got a bidet, dont knock it till you try it! I second that sir. Truly a game changer and honestly, much more sanitary. Dragging dry (or wet) paper across our dirty butts with bare hands is exactly as gross as it sounds. |

In my area, things have calmed down quite a bit. I'm able to get most things or was a few days ago at least. If anyone is in absolute need of any items and does not have access, let me know and maybe I can help.

FrankenMech maybe on to something we are very close to rioting in some places over toilet paper and groceries .
A little secret for bigger families call your local restaraunt and ask them to order a few cases of rice/beans noodles/foods/ frozen steaks frozen hamburgers canned vegetables etc instutional sizes are being over looked for food stuff .
They will be thrilled for any business .
