My oldest son was a prepper and had finally stopped being so fanatic. This has reawakened the urge to prepare. At any rate, if I need TP I know where to go, ha ha!

I just came back from a 12 Step meeting where they pass the basket for contributions towards rent. The man counting the money, sprayed it first with sanitizer. WELCOME TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE…PLEASE DON’T ADJUST YOUR SET. Just your mind. Sigh

I’ve been saying it from the get, it’s the reaction to this virus that will be concerning. And it is. But at least we have a leader in Oval Office who will assuage our fears . . . oh wait, that’s not true.
Pray and wash your hands, amen. And don’t forget to utilize the vampire pose when coughing and sneezing, lest you instigate a mob.

I’m glad my humor hasn’t irritated anyone…so far. I’m waiting for a slam to come my way. New York City gets stranger daily. Just now I went to the corner supermarket and 3 shelves of every type of nut butter…peanut, almond…Skippy, Justin’s Organic…Peter Pan..GONE. Are people building bunkers ya think? I’m a bit nonplussed…add that to the file.

As for the humor, you do what you do. Fuck em if they can’t take a humorista.
And what’s up with all the nuts? People stop having allergies to the stuff when the shit hits the fan?

Think about it. It was going to take something HUGE to unseat him the way things were headed. Did you ever think Biden would take the lead? Things are changing at the speed of light, just not in any way that we expected. My two cents.

I think it’s incumbent on Biden and his people to catalog the President’s current reign of error regarding COVID. In a moment where leadership is most needed, he’s shown what so many of us have known all along. He’s no leader.

That’s putting it neatly.

It was infuriating to watch Trump win in 2016 when any right minded person could see he was a caricature.
I am guilty of having wanted to see him run. Much like Oliver did. And when he neutered Chris Christie in the debates, what wasn’t to love? And then Cruz? Check. But then it kept on going from there and I KNEW when he scored the nomination that this whole experiment had gone too far.
That said, Hilary lost it. The democratic party did as well. And every single person who thought, he didn’t have a chance so what does it matter if I vote? Them too.

To size it up, Donald J. gave being at the right place at the right time, a whole new spin. Hillary haters would have voted for a Smurf before they voted for her.

I love your sense of humor. So far no one in our county has been diagnosed with the virus. County leaders said they won’t close schools unless ordered to by the state or federal government. Life is going on pretty much as normal. I’m finding it hard to whip up a froth of mania in support of the freaked-out doom-sayers.

Indiana, too, is taking precautions. We shouldn’t have quite the same level of worry (we are one of the lowest infected states, still…). We do our own panicking (why is it “panic”, but add a “king” for present progressive? I know it’s that long/short vowel thing.). We are staying in, but many still eating out, going shopping, etc… I will know it’s a true panic if I DO go out and there’s no one. Keep calm and keep clean, Susannah. Can’t lose one of my favorite bloggers/friends.

Great post, Susannah. Definitely people’s panicked reaction to the virus is the biggest danger. Bloody hell folks have gone nuts (while stocking up on them and leaving none behind for others). I admit I went to the grocery store upon my return from my trip on Tuesday to do a small grocery of necessities. There were no empty shelves. I had no idea I should have done a larger grocery – though in all honesty, I didn’t really need anything in particular except a few items. Now? Shit. Good thing I’m an expert at emptying the fridge, freezer and pantry and making something edible. I am officially quarantined until March 23rd (date that marks my two weeks since my return). I think I shall survive. Books, TV and maybe taking the time to organise my shit is in order… Turn this into an additional vacation time. And this way, I can avoid all the schizos out there…
