I do feel sorry for her. Like you, we keep a good store and freezers
full always. We are fairly remote, with no shops nearby so I don't like to
take chances. I suppose anyone living near shops who can normally get out
easily don't need to worry so much. Times like these are not really
expected I suppose.

I can see that in the future, more people will keep stocks the way we
do.

This pandemic could change views on many things.

I was able to get a little fresh meat today, but mostly more frozen/prepared
food.

I normally keep a good stock but we've been on lockdown longer than most.
We're only allowed one trip to the store every two weeks and things are
being rationed. I did get paper towels today but there was a limit of one
package. So 6 rolls as that was the only kind they had.

How do they know? Are they issuing "grocery store trip" rationing cards?

* 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 .

The county she's in doesn't say anything about limits on grocery store trips:

Yup, she is lying (AS PER HER USUAL), never heard of "rationing" grocery trips...or food rationing - although stores may limit quantities...

WWJD during a real crisis that required real rationing, say World War II...the mind boogles, lol...bet she'd be out there hamstering on the black market...

I swear I am baffled by these shortages I'm reading about. What the
heck goes on in American grocery stores, anyway!?!

I went grocery shopping this morning at 11:30. The produce section was
well-stocked and the quality of everything was fine. Lots of various
kinds of meats. Lots of paper products, including toilet paper. The
shelves of cleaning products (lysol, bleach, etc) were full. Breads
and other baked stuff was plentiful. There was flour, though not a lot
of different brands. (I usually buy the no-name stuff, and there was
lots of that.)

Beans? Check. Canned and frozen vegetables? Check. Dairy? Check.

The only thing I noticed that was in short supply was Haagen-Dazs ice
cream. There were only a few different types. I wanted the caramel
cone explosion flavour, but had to settle for either vanilla, coffee,
or chocolate peanut butter. Waaaah! I don't LIKE those kinds!

ALL of the grocery stores I go to are like that, including Costco. I
never go to WalMart because it's too crowded. There are very few
line-ups where I shop.

There is one particular thing that is in short supply here in Alberta.
Cats. I wanted to get a cat when we got home from our vacation last
month, but all the shelters are out of them. Apparently EVERYONE
decided to get a cat to keep them company during the lock-down. No
cats to be found.

I think the problem is that we can only shop every two weeks. We are not
allowed to go just for eggs or milk. So we try to think of everything we
might need until we get to the store again.

This is not a Bothell thing. It's Washington state.

And once again, I don't *live* inn the city of Bothell. I'm in
unincorporated Snohomish county. I do have a Bothell address. The city of
Bothell is in King county.

Of course I've heard of food and other rationing. I used to have somew old
ration tokens. Not sure where they came from. My dad gave them to me.

What we have here is not government rationing but stores limiting what we
can buy. Not all of the stores are doing it but the ones around here are. We
are supposed to stay within a mile of our house. There are no grocery stores
that close to me. I did go about 6-7 miles away to shop. The prices are much
cheaper there.

Thanks! Angela and I will work together now. We will each shop at a
different store. That way if one store is out of something, the other person
might be able to get it at their store. Winco did have paper towels but her
car isn't very big and took her friend shopping because she has no car.

It's Ju-Ju and her incessant lying. To read that garbage she posts you'd
think the folks there are on the verge of turning cannibalistic. If she
is having trouble finding food it's because she can't get her lazy ass out
of the bed and go early in the day when shelves are pretty much stocked.

And that blatant LIE, yes a plain old lie, that they're only 'allowed' to
shop every two weeks and they're not 'allowed' to just go for milk or eggs
is just a bald-faced lie.

Who the heck is keeping track of how many times you go to the grocery
store? I'd like to know how they're doing that.

There may be rules like that because Washington, specifically Seattle,
was hit so hard with Covid-19. They may be working to cut down on the
transfer of virus to communities farther away from Seattle proper.

N.o.b.o.d.y., it's just another of her incessant lies. And she'll not
answer you as there is no answer unless it's another lie.

I lived there in tacoma (83rd st?) and also later in tillicum WA,
just over the I5 overpass to madigan army hospital, where I worked
as a us army medic.

We saw a few psychotics there, but not many. It was long ago, so
,maybe the nut jobs are increasing now.

Feel free to provide a cite for that. I searched and cannot find anything.

I think it is just another Julieism. I searched for something official
for Washington state and got nothing. Given Julie's record if
credibility issues, I am going to have to assume it was just more
Bothell BS.

* We're doing that too , Julie . Our next trip to town is scheduled for
when Max and I run out of milk for our morning coffee . Of course we'll
also be making a stop at the hardware store for a few things (aluminum
flashing for bee hive equipment) , and we'll probably pick up something
to bring home for lunch . What has saved us is that we were stocked up
before there was even a hint of this virus - which is just the way we
always do things .

If you have a pencil, and a sheet of paper, you could make a list.
That way, after weeks of waiting to shop, you wouldn't have to rely
on memory.

I've been doing this pencil trick for 50 years.

I used to live in WA state, and live quite nearby still, with many
friends in that state. NONE OF THEM REPORT THIS. But then, none of
them are Droolie the Bovine.

Droolie is an idiot, plain and simple. There is no restriction on
going to the store "every two weeks." There isn't even a restriction
on which stores one can go to - the convenience shop nearby, a
QFC or Safeway in the area, Trader Joe's, Costco, or down to the
Asian supermarkets in Seattle's International District. With the
reduced traffic on the freeways, going from Bothell into Seattle
for that kind of thing is a snap.

I also live in one of the Pacific Northwest's larger cities, and have
no problem getting what I like to have in the fridge and pantry. But
then, I'm not Droolie the Bovine Idiot.

We're not talking about World War II.

We are talking the USA, in the year 2020. In your case, that's metro
Seattle.

In some cases, stores limit amounts, but that's about it. You can't buy
nine boxes of facial tissue (maybe).

As far as staying within a mile of home, or going out to the store(s)
only every couple of weeks:

There is no such limitation. You are allowed to go just about anywhere
in metro Seattle to get groceries at a shop of your choosing. Nobody
will stop you.

You're not only an idiot, you're a misinformed lying idiot.

Do you have Alzheimers? You know that pencils and paper are not available

There aren't. People are strongly encouraged to stay home, and
reduce the number of times they go out for groceries, drugs,
and whatever else is allowed. But no, there's no "we can only shop
every two weeks" rule. That's a lie, and Droolie lies a lot.

She doesn't understand the meaning of having a well stocked kitchen. I
