41 years is awesome. My hubs and I will have our 14th anniversary in July. Mine calls me honey—usually when we are out somewhere and he is frustrated with me and doesn’t want others to know it. Lol.

Great Post! I share your thoughts regarding hoarding. Stores in my area remain bare of needed cleaning supplies and toilet paper. I had Rice Krispies for breakfast also, but with no fresh milk I had them with frozen yogurt and chocolate sauce. Quite yummy! Stay safe and well.

I think everyone can relate to the phenomenon of supply hoarding which seems to have taken hold globally. Here in the UK the same thing is happening, supermarkets stripped bare of every essential food item and sanitary cleaning products. My local shops have been bare for weeks now and as soon as they get a fresh supply of stock, a few hours later they are empty once again.

Certain people have no self discipline of control when panic sets in; the herd mentality takes over and it’s a case of ‘I’m alright Jack.’ When you consider the terrible death toll which has befallen the people of Italy you would think that the same panic would ensue over there. But no, there has been no panic buying whatsoever and food stocks remain in good supply.

The world should look upon Italy as a model of dignity and self composure that we can all learn by in times of crisis.

good for you.. I do the same thing.. my mom.. she lived some hard times as a kid.. we gleaned and stored.. I needed a couple of things the first week but there was no panic buying.. I have actually been able to clean out the over dated things and have a working list for replenishing the stockpile when it comes available.. it’s easy one thing at a time.. I have a friend once that never let her gas tank fall under 3/4 of a tank.. she said it was easier to keep it full that it was to fill it when it was empty..

In general some good things to get onboard with during these dark times. But out of darkness lightness will come, and I started to smile toward the end of your piece when it turned political. My smile turned into a laugh at your humorous tirade. I don’t know if you meant that last part to be funny, but it made me laugh.

Some very good ideas that you are sharing in this post. My goal is to talk 10,000 steps per day. That is somewhere between 4 and 5 miles. That has the effect of tiring me out and also giving me physical exercise which helps me feel better and get though the day more easily while I am locked down due to the pandemic.

There are also some great memes that I find funny as well as movies both on Amazon Prime and on youtube, believe it or not that I enjoy. I have also discovered tubitv which has some interesting stuff.

And no, the only reason to listen to anything trump says about the medical advice he wants to give, is the humor of realizing that there are people who actually take him seriously and literally on this and other things as well. I decided a long time ago, that if trump suggested, I would know what NOT to try. LOL

Welcome back.
Bringing the Original Thoughts back a bad idea? There is no way it could be a bad idea. We get out of a site what we want. I am grateful Ben brought back a free platform for Bloggers to express themselves and communicate with each other during these trying times.

Someone is gonna read your blog and have a solution to your toilet paper conundrum…..I just know it.

Skip! Hello hello, howdie doodie?

I remember you from years back. Glad to read you’re still surviving.

Welcome back to Thoughts.

I’m also a veteran of the old Thoughts and I’m glad that it’s making a comeback. Maybe I’ll actually write stuff again.
