Another pandemic hoarder ...[:-][:D]
[:D]

Did you guys face the same phenomenon last year ? Here, in February-March, people went crazy on the toilet paper, supermarkets were emptied as soon as they restocked...[8|]
Indeed. Although here most stores were not completely emptied before they got restocked. This reaction was somewhat surprising because we manufacture lots of paper here. It is one of our major export industries.
Same here - I don't know why they figured TP would be needed in vast quantity during the pandemic or that the supply would be cut off. It's the fresh fruit and vegetables I was worried about but the trucks kept coming after all.

What did run out were the Lysol disinfecting wipes which were snapped up by all the businesses that remained open and had to disinfect after each customer. Fortunately(?), I had a very bad eye infection in December and had bought a Costco 3-pack of those wipes, so I could disinfect everything I touched. When the pandemic broke, I still had two unopened packages which I was able to give to my two local families with kids. Smiles all around. [:)]

Maybe the number of shitty ideas which were running around everywhere, back then (well, still now) ?

I think that the biggest problem was the lack of knowledge. With the shutdowns/lockdowns announced, people did not know what was next so they panicked. Not me, I did not run out of things. [;)]

No luck on the single serving* bottle of Jamiesons whiskey so I might substitute Jack Daniels and Bicardi. [:D] It will be awhile before I can bury him. [:(]

*Single serving for a human, but for a cat?[:'(]

The older I get all my records are falling.

2013: Speeding in a construction zone. 40 in a 25. It was reflex going down that street for 45 years. Oooo! Slow down to late
She saw I was slowing. $80 ticket. When asked about the seat belt I admitted very rarely in town. Highway religiously. She
understood and waived the $20 seat belt violation. 19 year no ticket streak. Busted.

2016: Into the hospital for what they said was kidney failure. An over night stay to rehydrate the kidneys. I told the doc to
knock off with kidney failure crap. He asked well what should we call it? I said how about an undesirable kidney scenario. He
agreed. 34 year streak for a hospital stay. Busted.

2021: Surgery yesterday. Had some tumors in my bladder removed. 38 year no surgery streak. Busted!

However scored a pyrrhic victory. The Richland County maintenance shop in Hankinson destroyed by fire. The very building I fell
off 38 years ago. Karma. My old nemesis is gone.


Oufta!

I've been away from the forums for several days, so I hope your recovery and health are both going well, Marc!

Morning. Harry comes to see me laying down. I hear some running around, then a crash - which I have heard before. I get up a few minutes later, Harry is laying on the floor, unresponsive, still warm but not breathing. [:(]

RIP Harry.

Good Friday afternoon to you as well!

Every day is a Monday until you are off on Friday. [:-]
The nice thing about being retired (or disabled and unable to work) is that every day is FRIDAY! [:D]
The problem with that is there are no PAYDAYS![:(]
