Posted By: Bristoe Toilet paper expedition - 05/06/20
The toilet paper aisles have been empty around here for weeks. Our supply was getting low and I was bored, so I picked a little town on the map about 50 miles from here and drove there today. I had never been there before.

I located a little grocery and went inside. I had my choice of five or six different brands of toilet paper. The meat shelves were well stocked, also.

The barber shop and a Mexican restaurant was open. In fact, every thing in town seemed open.

It felt like I was in the land that time forgot.

That's the way the whole country should have been from the beginning.

I don't know.

The Kentucky Governor is on TV every day talking about the dangers of COVID-19. But there's been very little arm twisting about it. Early on, a few people got fussed at, but it kind of died out.

You can feel it in the air around here that people are getting tired of the whole thing. The hospital my wife works at is preparing to start doing elective surgery again. The big Toyota plant is getting ready to go back to work,..and even the Governor said that restaurants should start opening up again in a few days.

Plenty of toilet paper down this way, but no hair cuts. I’ve been risking my life letting my wife cut my hair.
Bought some a Walmart yesterday. 4 rolls for 68 cents. Probably had built in ass covid.

I don't know for sure, but I assume the local places have toilet paper if you get there early enough.

Installed a toilet seat bidet about 6 weeks ago, toilet paper use is down 80% or so. Looking back it was a very good move.

LOL. Cool. I guess there are some places that forgot to hunker down.
Why isn't every grocery store cashier dead as a hammer? Every dang one of them must been exposed to 500 covid assymptomatics.

Local grocery store near me has all the TP and meat you want. Wal-Mart out on the main road..................Gotta wait in line to get in.

Yesterday I found the first TP I've seen on shelves since this crap started. Good thing too, I was down to my last 2 rolls. Was about ready to install a kitchen sprayer on the toilet. Best deal at the store was beef tenderloin for $6.99 per pound. Thought there was a meat shortage?

Money poorly spent. You should use the Jim Conrad Montana Bidet method.

You crawl up on your kitchen sink, get the spray hose going and turn on the sink disposal unit and let’er rip.

Frigging woman wont quit her crack cocaine shopping addiction.

I swear ta god we have enough TP to last 18 months.
Posted By: Bristoe Re: Toilet paper expedition - 05/07/20
I appreciate the offer. But we're stocked up well enough now.
Posted By: Bristoe Re: Toilet paper expedition - 05/07/20
My wife likes to grocery shop too.

She bought a bunch of big roasting chickens during one of her recent shopping trips. About once a week she gets bored and hits the kitchen. A couple of days ago she roasted a chicken,..made dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes,..

It's been like Thanksgiving around here.

There's just the two of us here and I'm content just to snack on whatever I find in the fridge and pantry. But when she gets on one of her cooking kicks, she'll fill the table up.

We've got enough leftovers to feed on for the rest of the week right now.

The disposal died years ago.

Garden hose works better. Saves on septic system.

Yeah, my wife went on her semi annual cooking splurge yesterday.
Pot roast and gravy, mashed potatoes[enough for six at least], corn on the cob, huge salad, biscuits, fried apples.

Tonight will probably be A fish stick and 7 french fries.

She sounds a lot like me...

There's a few things that I know how to cook. Mostly things that I consider special treats,..like lasagne or speghetti made from fresh garden tomatoes.

But I've never been much on cooking. I'll stuff a bologna and cheese sandwich in my face and I'm good for most of the day.

In fact, I really like a sandwich made from good bologna with havarti cheese on fresh bread with mayo and mustard.

Also, great northern beans poured over buttery cornbread fresh from the oven is one of my special treats.

I get along pretty good with simple food.
