Litiquette VI

[hotwords229_A]

LOL. Liking that new AV, tinman.


Non-name brand toilet paper!?

*tries not to think about Hotwords potty situation*

I don't need the teddy bear kind. There's plenty of moss in the woods.

 

[The_gladiator]

Yeah, it's still in stores here-at least the non-brand name stuff is. It's good to know that people in a panic still have standards.

this made me laugh.

I will be telecommuting for probably the next couple months until they tell me I can go back to the office. seems a tad excessive, but yeah. If it gets really bad I have enough toiletpaper, but not really a stockpile of food, and I have to move in like a month on top of everything else.

Ugh. I cannot imagine having to move in the midst of all this chaos.

yep, but the lease is up and found a new place, but yeah kind of a nightmare.

No doubt. *shudders*

I actually have a trip scheduled in the next couple of months. To the PNW, of all places. Eesh. I hate to cancel. We'll just have to see how things go….

 

[Lord Pmann]

I’m personally pretty low. I give myself a 3. I do think it’s a severe issue with it spreading. But I’m not freaking out. Now, I have a fuckton of toilet paper and cleaning supplies because I already bought my supply for the year.

Which leads me to ask... why the toilet paper hoarding? WTF is wrong with people? What’s the reason? Is the virus scared of mummies? Are people dressing up like mummies in an effort to scare the hell out of the virus?

And all you and your name brand toilet paper... you and your coddled anuses. Anuses? Anii? Not sure the plural there.

Anyway, I’m not too worried. But so far I’m still scheduled to work and all. I’m “essential” though, so I pretty much work that whole time. If they call an emergency, then pmann gets premium, double time pay. Come on emergency!!!

I suspect you'll know far sooner than that whether the trips a go or not.

Well there's an downright lie if ever I've read one

I’m essentially an ass.

I've seen your face. This is not a lie.

I don’t have assface, fucker!!!

 

[Dribble]

I don’t have assface, fucker!!!

Sounds like a mental health issue

 

[LurkingPhoenix]

I'm around a 6, if only because I have those in my life who are extremely-high risk. I'm staying away from them for the foreseeable future.

Otherwise, because I live and work in a part of our state that seems to be a hotspot right now (though I expect that the rest of PA will soon catch up because testing is finally being done)...I've been inundated with information that I'm consuming rapidly as a news junkie.

I wish I could work from home, but that's not an option...so I'm just using as much common sense as possible and going nowhere unnecessarily. I'm a scientist...so I'm listening to scientists, not buffoonery.

 

[blade_rocknut]

The Rocknut household is pretty well set, and right in the middle of the serious spectrum. I'm a 3-4; my wife is a solid 7-8 because she's asthmatic.
We tend to prep for hurricanes when most do not, and we generally have a fuckton of food on hand. For this situation, we just bought some extra non perishables so we can minimize trips to the store when cases inevitably start popping up in our area. We've two chest freezers loaded with venison, besides probably more pork, beef and chicken than most would consider keeping. Pantry's full of canned veggies, rice, grits, coffee, and other such.
On general principle, I have what the mainstream media would deem an extraordinary "cache" of ammunition, because panicked humans are dangerously fickle creatures.

And I'm a plumbing contractor...my master bath has a bidet, and both showers have hand held units besides the fixed heads. There isn't a TP crisis here.

 

[Suz_anne]

I'm probably around a 5. I think it is pretty serious, but all of the steps being taken to shut down schools and minimize large gatherings should definitely help with the spread. And I want Dr. Anthony Fauci to be the one to give all of the updates going forward. He's my voice of reason in all of this.

As I've detailed before, I have done a fair amount of prepping and feel comfortable that Mr. Suz and I could ride this out for a few months, if need be. I don't think the need will be, but it calms my mentally ill brain to prepare for it.

We purchased a chest freezer a few months ago because he shot his first buck (he's new to the hunting game) and we needed the extra freezer space for all that venison. I also used it to stockpile some free range chickens, pastured pork, etc. when they went on sale, so that freezer has come in handy.

I do have a large supply of toilet paper on hand. And I really need to look into getting a bidet...

 

[The_gladiator]

I don't get why toiletpaper.

I've lived places where if it was threatened to snow you couldn't find a loaf of bread in the store, but why tp? this is a lung infection, not a stomach virus...

 

[Lord Pmann]

You people and your bum guns... France is infecting us one bidet at a time.

Supposedly a few of the people who came down with the coronavirus have had diarrhea. But I lean towards people thinking...virus...so they load up on TP...just in case.

 

[Suz_anne]

I said this somewhere else, but my stockpiling of certain items (toilet paper and cleaning supplies) came after a friend who works for a large manufacturer said he was concerned that they would not be able to keep up with public demand, their factories weren't set up to ramp up quickly to meet demands, they had concerns about workers getting sick, etc..

They were having troubles with it about six weeks ago, so that made me grab some extras every time I went to the store. I didn't want to be without if manufacturing slows.

A lot of your post seemed sexual to me. Then I started removing words and look what I found. Subliminal messaging?

Suz_anne, you're the total prepper hottie, aren't you?

Uh, it's round and hairy... And fucker ain't no insult. Yes, yes- I get laid ass face

 

[numeniusa]

I've just come home from northern Italy (although not the locked down bit), so my man and I are self-isolating for a fortnight, just in case. I'm not worried about having it, I'm sure I'd survive, I'm not in any of the risk groups. But I don't want to risk passing it on to anyone who is at risk. Or anyone at all, really. My neighbours have been brilliant, loads of help, deliveries, checking in etc. I'm quite enjoying it so far, a great excuse to slob about on the sofa and watch TV, read, sort out admin I've been putting off. In between marathon sex sessions, of course.

I don't work now, so that's not an issue for me. I can't imagine how people who can't work remotely are coping, and how people with kids in closed schools are dealing with childcare issues.

You people and your bum guns... France is infecting us one bidet at a time.

I spent about six weeks in France last summer, and I can report that there were hardly any bidets. Which was weird. Maybe they've exported them all. There were also hardly any cafetieres, also known as french presses, and a higher proportion of overweight people. I don't know if there is any cause and effect going on there. People weren't rude. Nowhere smelled of wee. What is that country coming to?

 

[Fermina_Daza]

We have basically been socially distancing since December and J’s surgery. The first month, everyone who came to our house had to take precautions including washing hands before coming into the room, limiting touch, and not coming over if there was any hint of illness. Then we could ease up those restrictions but he still had to limit his exposure to others. We had just reached the stage where I was back in the office and not telecommuting and he could endure short trips outside the home when all this started. So really our lives aren’t changing much. The hoarding is irritating. I can’t plan for what he will be able to eat that far in advance and he gets sick of things after a while and refuses them (just gave a coworker half a box of those Premier protein shakes he subsided off initially.).

I am amazed by my local community. Neighbors we’ve never met have reached out to help us with anything we need so to minimize exposure, and I see posts on the Next Door app with offers to help anyone in need. It has restored my faith in humanity....to 60%.
