    Went to the grocery store this morning. Everything I needed was in stock. In fact everything looked normal.

    Around 1:00 the FED announced a 500B liquidity injection (aka Repo) volume spiked and the downward trend reversed. Didn't last long as the selling resumes and those that bought the news got their faces ripped off.

    Unless you are of the top 20% that own 84% of the market all you get is, left holding the bag.

    I wonder if school is going to be canceled this year. It seems many are being closed until the end of March, but the virus is just taking off. By the end of March there will be at least twice as many cases as now.

    The veracity of the cancelation was not in dispute, darling. 💋

    Funny how you had to edit your original post so that it made it appear you meant something different. Face it Sally, I'm smarter than you.....😛

    Well, well, well, it appears I struck gold after a trip to two Walmarts, a Hy-Vee, Costco, with no luck finding toilet paper (we actually needed some) I found 1 6 pack of double Charmin last one says 6 rolls = 24 rolls not sure how unless I limit it to 1 square per s..t🤣 I found it at the hippie health food store of all places they had 2 12 packs of some organic unbleached toilet paper at $ 13.99 a pop which I figured the money is on the 6 rolls that equals 24 rolls of Charmin.

    I figured since it is unbleached it might add some extra protection in the nether regions. The rest of this stash is stuff I found that might come in handy from each of the other stores. I cant wait to bust into the spam but will hold off until it's necessary. The wife was surprised I splurged for the Charmin, I was quick to tell her dont get used to it once this scare passes it's back to the Great Value single ply TP. The freezer is full of Venison a couple of Turkeys and lots of Crappie and Walleye filets, plus we got a huge bag of rice we got from Costco a while back that were still working on. As far as I'm Concerned the Gudnoyez"s are Riding The Storm Out good luck to you all.

    Spam, Twinkies and canned tuna shelf life will probably outlast the rest of my life that's for sure. Makes sense if your gonna stock up in something, make it something with a long shelf life.

    March break for us is next week. We just heard that Ontario has decided to close all publicly funded schools for 2 weeks after. Kids won't be returning until April 5.
