I replenished the condom supply.
At least you’ll keep your hands clean. ;-)I replenished the condom supply.
You can even use that for some of our MDS threads, eh?Preparation H
My wife wanted to go to Walmart this morning to get a box of diapers for a baby shower this afternoon. Fallston Walmart had restocked a lot last night but can tuna, chicken, rice, dry beans were still in short supply.
I picked up Kleenex, Dawn dish soap, a couple bottles of hydrogen peroxide, and found some purina one for the dogs. There was no tp but there were a few bundles of paper towels on the shelf so I asked her if we needed any. " no I have one left" .
OMG woman what part of pushing a cart up and down aisles of depleted and empty shelves are you not understanding.
And yet when I'm gone for days at a time her friends ask her doesn't she worry? Her answer is oh Dan's had us prepared with firewood on the porch, food in the fridge and gas for the generator. I thought SOME of this was rubbing off.
I bought a gallon of 2% Chlorhexidine at Tractor Supply today. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier. It is a hand sanitizer with residual protection for several hours.
Thus, SARS-CoV-2 belongs to the betaCoVs category. It has round or elliptic and often pleomorphic form, and a diameter of approximately 60–140 nm. Like other CoVs, it is sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat. Furthermore, these viruses can be effectively inactivated by lipid solvents including ether (75%), ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peroxyacetic acid and chloroform except for chlorhexidine.
I did 95% of my long-term prep in late February when it became clear that this was going to be a serious, months-long problem for the USA. We are strategically grabbing more as opportunities present, but we'd survive if the grocery stores shut down tomorrow. That said, I like eggs and milk as much as the next guy, so I'm hoping that doesn't happen.
My big concern right now, supplies-wise, is Passover. We were not planning to be at home for it this year, but I don't think I can ethically subject my (older) parents to my family in the middle of a pandemic. We grabbed some stuff as a last ditch prep for that eventuality early on (like, matzah and some canned food), but doing this right is going to require a bit more. (I was trying to procure kosher for Passover MREs, but they don't seem to be for sale presently.)
My wife was thanked by co-worker last week for the heads up on stocking up. A few weeks ago my wife mentioned to this woman that we were stocking up on food and supplies in case the supply chain breaks over the pandemic. This woman apparently decided to do the same and had a few week head start over the other crazies.
The local hippie food store had a sale on cucumbers so I made 12 quarts of pickles. I found some meats at a local grocery store this morning and canned four pounds of ground beef, two pounds of Italian sausage, a pound of breakfast sausage, and a 3 1/2 pound roast that was marked down to half price.
I really like to pressure can the meats because they last longer this way than frozen, taste better than frozen, and don't spoil when the power goes out like frozen will.
At least you’ll keep your hands clean. ;-)
I suspect there are going to be a LOT of December babies.
