let it all go..all of it. (saying this to myself).
I understand and realize there are some who weren’t set up for something like this both financially and emotionally.

But some of the mood swings and pearl clutching are off the charts.

And truck drivers! While pro athletes and Hollywood sit at home making nothing. Well at least I tell myself that, most are probably still making more than I do just off of royalties.

When people know they will be at home for 3 months, they will need TP
It's the idiots who can't plan ahead, and keep shopping (and getting exposed to a virus) each week since they can't plan ahead.
If you buy 50 rolls, every last roll will be used, unless you die.
Funny how people can't understand such basic ****.

Ah hell, I've hit a refrigerator so hard I left my knuckle prints in the door. Where is this girl? Maybe we could start a group on FB.

Dad bought a case of 52oz popcorn salt jugs for gifts and his own football ritual.
Then again, a game required at least half a grocery bag of the pop.

Hope this virus attacks people that exhibit this behavior, zero integrity. Hope this is the "A-Hole" disease we need one Badly?

I guess we know who hoarded TP and water.
Last week I ordered TP from Amazon and it was delivered Thursday. I saw TP at Home Depot and Raleys this week. So you bought a bunch of TP for nothing. We never hoarded and never ran out.

And do you not have running water in your moms basement?

I have to say, the people working at Home Depot, Supermarket and some of the other places have been nothing but nice.

Wife does the Target drive up ordering, I go to the car wash, text that I'm coming by and they bring it out with a smile (at least I think they're smiling behind the mask). This could be a new business model for some places. We have restaurants selling "prepare at home" kits of their big sellers.

I really have to give it up to the frontliners , truckers and support industries. They're keeping it moving.
