I think you will find most things in a large market Val

Not here.  People are buying everything off the shelves, not just toilet paper.   The store I go to is changing their hours so they can clean and restock.  I'm not kidding... there's no pasta, canned goods, paper goods, or frozen goods.  People are literally buying out the entire store.

  I stopped and bought cat food and litter today.  there was plenty of that, so people apparently aren't stocking up for their pets.

You're lucky, then.  All the stores here are madhouses.  I'm planning on getting up early tomorrow and am hoping it's not going to be too nuts then.

I got flour so I could bake bread Or I could make pasta

It’s been ages since I made my own pasta. Tastes so good

Poppy seed pasta and beetroot pasta are my favourite

Hey young Albert

fresh bread and homemade pasta both sound really good. Definitely dropping by for a feed

I will.   My son just informed me he wasn't going to come for the next few weeks... he's coming home tonight, though... I guess to pack some stuff. He and his girlfriend deal with customers on a regular basis, and he's worried about giving me the virus. I tried to argue with him, but apparently the other three have been freaking out because there was a case closer to here. He said they've been messaging for days about it, so he's going to stay at his sister's and his girlfriend's house. It sucks but I understand they worry... so it's just me and Cookie.  I hope he changes his mind, but I doubt he will. 

While it sucks you'll be alone it's good to know they're taking your health seriously. I've decided to reschedule my doc appt in Phila until June. I am scheduled for the Tues after Easter but the idea of two day long train trips with potentially ill folks and then bringing it here to mum decided the matter. Like you mum has a cardiac issue and at 84+ is doubly at risk. It's just not worth it.

I love pasta from scratch You would just love my white clam sauce

That's not a bad idea. Not sure if I have any honey... or cinnamon sticks. Nope... just checked... I don't. Have lemons and whiskey, though. Time to do some shopping.

Same here.    There was going to be a sale of old DVDs and music albums at the library tomorrow, but yesterday, they announced that it was cancelled. Today, it was upgraded to a complete closure of all branch libraries in the county, until further notice.

Most stores are now imposing limits on how much of an item is allowed per customer.

That seems to be what most folks I know are asking. Guess when the world seems to be going to crap people naturally think of tp.
