* Y'all got it bad there , around here it's pretty much business as
usual - with masks on a lot of folks . We haven't had shortages for a
while now , last week there was quite a bit of TP on the WM shelves -
even the cheap stuff . My wife grew up dirt poor in a single parent
(mostly , except for the perv stepdad) and they often wondered where the
next meal was coming from . She refuses to live like that , and that's
fine with me . And so we keep a pretty good supply of basic ingredients
on hand . Not much in the way of prepared stuff , we prefer to build
from scratch .
