Making a grocery run with the husband looks a little different these days…
As does his idea of the word essentials.
But the real news of the day?
This:
We found two of the most elusive items in Maine. Flour and toilet paper!!!
Now I can say I know how a crack whore feels after a fix.
Well, maybe not exactly how.
But still…
We found these precious jewels at an out of the way, generic name grocery store in the back country.
And no, I’m not telling you where.
Okay, I lied.
I’m no where near done with these yet.
Is it me or do those look like giant marshmallows ready for toasting?
While I know this is a shocking waste of a precious resource….
They still make me smile.
Toilet paper.
Mankind’s abundant harvest.
Because some things you just can’t get enough of.
This is quite true, at least for me. I’m constantly amazed at the stories on social media of how productive people are being with their forced spare time. Amazed, and a little annoyed.
Stop it over achievers…
You’re making me look bad.
It was all right there…
We just didn’t see it.
If only I had stocked up.
My dream home in Tuscany would be that much closer.
Nothing.
Not a single thing…
(Because we all need to laugh or we’ll kill the spouses we’re locked in the house with.)
This person found an interesting, albeit slightly creepy…. way to re-purpose Amazon boxes.
Imagine putting a leash on that and taking it out for a walk?
Here…. our niece’s son used his spare time to jump on a trampoline with his chicken.
The chicken was unavailable for comment.
I admit I didn’t know about the latest ribbon trend…
But I sure do wish I lived in this fellow’s neighborhood.
Margarita home delivery?
Long live the quarantine!
Due to the nationwide shortage of toilet paper, I feel it’s necessary to share a little history.
As well as a helpful alternative in these troubling times.
You know the old saying, “When in Rome?”
Well……
The Ancient Romans were never bothered by a lack of tripe ply Charmin.
No, sir.
Not when they had their handy tersoriums.
I’ll pause for a moment to let you conjure a mental image of using one the next time you pay a visit.
Got it?
Alright then…. moving on.
Death by lion…. or swallowing a tersorium?
Sorry, but I’m going with the lion every time.
And in case you’re interested?
You should be thanking this man that you’re not outside searching for a stick right now.
Joseph C. Gayetty.
The inventor of modern toilet paper.
Corn cobs?
No thank you.
But if the Covid shortage continues, we’re all going to wish the Sears catalog was still being printed.
And now that I think about it….
Maybe I need to check the husband’s barn for this stuff. If anyone has some, it will be my other half.
Far be it for me to woo my own destruction.
This short and completely ridiculous post is for James , a new blog friend who recently had a birthday and didn’t receive that one special gift he’d been hoping for.
So because his clueless family let him down?
Happy Birthday James.
The gift you never knew you wanted.
Enjoy.
In the time of Corona Virus.
Why is it that 3 weeks on vacation flies like the wind, but 3 weeks staying home feels like 6 months?
I know I shouldn’t complain. We’re blessed my husband can work from home and keep a steady paycheck. But Lord…. what I wouldn’t give for Direct TV to gasp it’s last breath.
My husband is a news hound. Which is mildly annoying any other time… but now?
It feeds the hypochondria he inherited from his mother and his sometimes slightly paranoid nature.
No, I don’t want to hear the new death toll number.
And no, I definitely don’t want to see another Presidential news conference which are anything but.
If only.
In other news, our stores are still out of toilet paper. And people are posting sightings like it’s Bigfoot…. or something hovering over Roswell, New Mexico.
“There’s a dozen packages of Cottonelle on Aisle 6, Hannaford in Westbrook.”
Go!
“A new shipment of Charmin on Aisle 10, Shaws in Rockland?”
Hurry!
It really is ridiculous.
And makes you wonder what we’re going to do if this trend continues.
Uh oh.
I really don’t understand this latest panic, but it’s happening… as witnessed by these pictures sent to me by a friend in Pennsylvania.
Her husband went to Wal Mart and felt like he won the lottery.
Which makes me very glad I took advantage of the sale our local grocery was running a few months ago.
Bring it Covid-19.
We’re ready!
River's world.....
