*Mezzo's Toilet Paper Riot (TPR) Report*

I was at the supermarket at 8 am to make sure I got toilet paper.They were out yesterday and I thought: "Shiiiiit!"

finlay2

Well, it was kinda disappointing. To show up in a Carl Douglas Kung Flu outfit..



[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

.. only to find three people there. One I suspected had been laying in front of the door the whole night. I could even sneeze (accidentally) without anyone looking scared or angry.

No one was Kung Flu fighting. Apparently Dutch people nowadays are not willing to riot before 11 am on a Saturday. Where the heck have those days gone?

None of those three were there for toilet paper either. One bought five cases of 24 bottles Heineken and half a loaf of bread. I said: "What the hell do you need all that bread for?" No reply..

Shelves for toilet paper and paper handkerchiefs were still empty, but they were stocking up.I took the opportunity to take two pallets of each off their hands, even though I have no space to store it anywhere in my small appartement.

But I am all set till 2037. Can even use it as barter.

No kidding,,,,it is no wonder women become battle axes having to clean up after and nurture a bunch of slobs, while working a full-time job. And feminist movement only gave them freedom to leave their homes and serve some other demanding boss out there, while navigating an ever-increasing monetary inflation, as governments rode the wave of taxing their wages, falling more and more behind. And pay OTHER WOMEN to see to their child care and housecleaning if they could afford it. Where is the gain? It is a comedy of errors. I have watched the entire development of this over many decades, and women become more and more unhappy. The government looks out there and sees that a man has an entirely tax-free asset, a wife and mother in the home, whose value could be capitalized upon and TAXED if only she could be coaxed to leave her home and convert her value to taxable wage / salary.
Governments couldn't believe their luck with this convoluted message to women that they were being made slaves in their own homes, and that there would be FREEDOM to them to go and be a slave to someone else. AS WELL AS KEEPING UP WITH THE NURTURING IN THEIR HOMES, SO DOUBLE-DUTY. wtf
Because it is in our DNA to want to nurture and keep a home, as God gave Adam a help-mate and made us this way.
Obviously, single or widowed women have always been in the workforce to support themselves.
Don't flame me for being a relic of past happier home-life times; it's just what I have seen.

I know it is bad in a lot of places Angel. It will get much worse over here, even though they say there is enough stuff. I don't worry to much about health, even though I totally feel for everyone who is and will be infected or worse. hf

I worry most about the supply chain. Once we get Italian like situations here in Holland (and they are coming) and people are restricted more, production has trouble keeping up because of sick leave or restrictions, that is when the real shortages begin.

But had to try and put it a bit in perspective and find a smile here and there to break the tension. It is what I try and am best at I guess.

I hope that once the first wave of people stocking up has gone, others will be able to get their stuff as well and also that the elderly are being taken care of in that. I also wondered if you could order online and then pick up at your local grocery store or have it delivered?

Stay safe out there sweetheart. We'll be alright! hugs

One of the things that worries me too, is that with these crowds pushing and shoving are infecting each other as well. I was watching the Yellow Vests demonstrations in Paris this afternoon..

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

and I thought, how can people still be this ignorant. France is one of the current hot zones in Europe and people are there by the thousands, no masks, no protection, nothing. Even the police are without masks.

And that's how it is everywhere. People and governments still have no clue about the seriousness of this virus and laugh it off. I am a positive mind and I believe we will get through this, but I for sure am not looking up crowds like this.

Maybe you can order stuff to be delivered to your home Arnie. Please stay safe. We need you here as well as your family needs you of course. hugs

Amazon Prime has delivery from Whole Foods if you buy at least $35 in groceries,,,they deliver within two hours (wow..), so a good-sized tip would be in order.
I haven't used this service yet, but I have a list going on my Amazon Whole Foods page..

I have enough toilet paper to last for the rest of my days on earth.......I will put a rider in the will for any that is left over.

Have enough brown rice / pastas / sardines / mackerel / tuna and various other things in the basement, so could dig in for several weeks, even feeding the son. And none of this was prepping, just stocking up at Costco and items on sale.

Because, you know, with age, people tend toward hoarding. I save the rubber bands on broccoli too. Never know when you might need a couple hundred of those.

Wow, interesting how things differ. I ran by walmart yesterday for a few things and they had no paper products at all. Nothing. Little water. A few cleaning supplies left but not much. There a lot of other random empty shelves for odd things like the fresh take-n-bake pizzas. Later last night on the news and on twitter I heard many of the grocery stores here were going bare. Of course, you get a limited view and most of it is not the stuff I need so I'm thinking is there actual food left, or is it just the TP, water and cleaning supplies out?? I got my haircut earlier today and the gal who works the desk said she tried buy some ground beef last night and had to go to three stores. She said one of the Aldi's nearby was closed until further notice because they had no food at all.

So, I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to the grocery today. I purposely hit two stores, from the 2 largest chains here. The first store was fully stocked. I didn't notice they were out of a single thing. The 2nd store I went to was completely out bananas, chicken (97% gone), and had a few packages of toilet paper left (other paper products fine). Some of the other meats and produce were a bit picked over, but everything pretty much was available to some degree. LOTS of corned beefs!! lol

It not only varies from state to state, but it seems from store to store. Overall based on my experiences the past few weeks though, I haven't found it too bad here (yet). It sounds a lot worse elsewhere based on peoples' stories here.

Amazon Prime has delivery from Whole Foods if you buy at least $35 in groceries,,,they deliver within two hours (wow..), so a good-sized tip would be in order.
I haven't used this service yet, but I have a list going on my Amazon Whole Foods page..

I have enough toilet paper to last for the rest of my days on earth.......I will put a rider in the will for any that is left over.

Have enough brown rice / pastas / sardines / mackerel / tuna and various other things in the basement, so could dig in for several weeks, even feeding the son. And none of this was prepping, just stocking up at Costco and items on sale.

Because, you know, with age, people tend toward hoarding. I save the rubber bands on broccoli too. Never know when you might need a couple hundred of those.
