    Well said.

    As long as I can get food and cat litter I think we should be ok for now. Probably could use some TP. I knew I should have made the buy 3 packs get a $5 gift card purchase at Target the other week.

    Just found out a super micro local is going to be selling to go beer. They just started to can. I’m going over as soon as they open later this week. The owner is friends with a friend of mine and if a 4 pack or two helps him out I’m good.

    Stay safe and smart

    Enjoy

    Well said, @Todd .....

    Peace out people and stay calm and safe out there.....if anything, we should be hoarding beer (wait, what?), not tp!

    Breathe, stop and smell the flowers, and drink good beer and look out for yourselves and one another - this too shall pass....

    Ohio closed all bars and restaurants last night, so all the locals who will be selling "to go beer" and food, need our support to pull through this crazy time we find ourselves in.....

    Uplifting story today - worth a read....

    Well said, it's going to be a very difficult time for everyone over the next year all around the world.

    I guess I'm not the only one who wished they bought a bidet for their bathroom now ...

    Yes!
    We will get through this even better if, when we speak our mind, we do it with compassion, and remember to be kind

    I went to Total Wine yesterday and found it as you described. On top of that I found a bottle of Thomas Hardy ale just sitting out in the open. I gave it a good deserving home. Will cellar it though!

    Cracked me up, and I shouldn't be laughing as I'm down to my last roll. (Missed out on the hoarding frenzy.)

    But Todd, very well said. Folks tend to come together in emergencies and, maybe, when all is said and done, that's the case here.

    Stocking up on more toilet paper and food than you really need: silly.
    Stocking up on more beer than you really need: very, very wise.
    I saw an article last week about Doomsday Preppers getting their propers now after being laughed at when Y2K rolled through. So does this mean those of us with foolishly large beer cellars should feel justified? :wink:
    JK. Be safe and be kind BA - and crack open some vintage bottles!

    I can’t even look at the internet because of all the doom and gloom out there. This post is the best thing I have read in a while. Thanks BA for being one our happy places. We will survive!

    Maybe if you had been a bit more supportive of the #linelife culture, you would have figured out a way to circumvent that measly allocation by now. :wink:

    As with everything, this could be a teaching (and thus learning) moment.

    Here's one lesson:

    This is the precisely the kind of moment you need to have a government.
    And America doesn't.
