I know I shouldn't feel smug right now b/c I know that feeling can get squashed in a heartbeat. But, I gotta say, I'm feeling like I want to yell from the roof-tops........I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!lil loser
I got calls from family members today. One couldn't get any bread or milk, let alone any TP or lysol. One only had 3 rolls of TP on hand but isn't worried about it. Ummmm k.......note to self.....don't be around him next week. One asked if I would pick up some things as I went out today. I did find what they needed like wipes, bleach, and lysol. They got lucky. My mom said, we'll just come to your house! Thankfully she was kidding, but I let her know I wasn't thrilled with her statement.....even though I would welcome her in. I'm still waiting for others to call, some of which could never understand why I would stock up on canned goods during the fall harvest sale.
I'm not as flush with stock as many on the forum are, but feel pretty confident right now with enough supplies for both of us for a while. I don't have tons of extras to dole out to family members, although I do have some. I really never thought I would have to stay home to keep an eye on things, but I'm getting the feeling that that might be the case. If folks are cooped up for days or weeks, it won't take long for them to go stir crazy, especially if they aren't prepared for it.
Tomorrow I have some organizing to do but I'm feeling good about where we stand right now. We have lots of nuts and beer.....we'll have a hell of a party.drink buddy It just feels really weird that something like this is actually happening. The folks on this board saw it coming many weeks ago and we've discussed this possibility LONG before that. It's just a bit surreal. I wonder where this panic is going and when it will finally end. I'm not concerned so much about the virus, although I'm taking measures to avoid it. However, the sheeple panic is something different entirely. Desperate people do desperate things, even if the situation isn't necessarily desperate. So, what's next? Are the shelves going to be restocked soon to quell the panic?....or not? Are things going to go to the next level? What might that next level look like?
