That should get through a couple of weeks so will have to keep an eye out again in the mean time I am standing down to Yellow Alert.

At last! Yay! Good on ya.

I think we're ok here, but like someone else said, I'm not putting down my AR.... because TEXAS!

Relating to TP and ammo.... I think we may have enough.

Otherwise, I'm really happy to see that some of the big stores seem to be rationing. The greed and hoarding I've seen with my own eyes is shocking. I'm sure I'm not saying anything new so far.

That being said, in Neal's own hometown, I've also seen some of the best humanity has to offer.

Try to remember to check on your neighbors. Someday it will be our turn to need help.

Only 4 rolls left in the house, hoping to get some today but looks grim, seems to be worse here in the country.

Might have to wash and reuse rags/hand towels.

Currently we have 3 rolls which I have reinforced with a couple big boxes of flushable (not really) wipes and a small garbage can to put them in. I also ordered another 10 online with an eta of beginning of April. We'll get by.

Hey Todd, you are still an EMT, correct? Please stay safe out there and check in, mate.

In a week or so there will be TP on pallets everywhere, more than anyone can possibly use, so hang in there.

Yeah, they may say flushable but you are right, don't

The non-preppers are missing out on an investment opportunity. Start buying cases of Axe body spray. Think it about it for one minute.. See where I'm going?

If TP does indeed become extinct, your friends may want to smell less gamey (if they want to stay friends). You could become rich in a very short odor, uh, order.

You could also make new labels that read "ASSK" instead of AXE.

ET2SN · 03-18-20, 08:24 PM

Wow, tough crowd.

But think it, imagine if the local and state gov't forced everyone to take a free roll of TP when the panic first started.

"WHAT THE #@%^!! AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS? I'M WORRIED ABOUT A FLU!!"

Exactly....

I made Paramedic shortly after you and I met right after Hurricane Ike. (2008 I think it was?)

I've been medically retired since May of last year due to injuries after 17 years on the streets.

Recovering from another surgery now. Wish I could have made it to 20 years, but it wasn't in the cards. I really miss some things about being out there, but it is nice in some ways to sit out the latest crisis. Awesome Mrs. Lehmann though, is mostly glad I'm not out in the middle of it all anymore.

On occasion she asks me to go play in the freeway.

At any rate, I think we'll be okay.... if not, we'll die side by side fightin' ta save the ship!

Shipmate, I really hope you and yours fair well.

Yeah even if they don't clog the plumbing they will fill up my septic tank too fast. We normally use one ply.

magic452 · 03-18-20, 11:25 PM

I've got about 14 rolls and it's just me so I'm good for a long time.
I found part of a 12 pack that I didn't know I had, stuffed into the bottom of a
linen closet. Pleasant surprise.

Also good to go on sanitizers as well.

It's an old and proven method even if the sand kinda scratches.

My Wife is a Manager at a Dollar Tree. She unloads the incoming trucks.
So guess who gets 1st chance to buy stuff?
I'm also 61 so I get to go in the stores early!

Thinking of starting a side line business.
Ask younger people what they need, Go buy it, then get a higher price from them for my troubles!
