As far as I can tell, everyone is in a panic about how to live through this pandemic. I hope sharing my practical list can help others see a way through. Start with water. Buy a case of bottled if you can. ...

I wonder if the seed companies will still be shipping? I may need to grow my veggies this year the way things are going irt resupply.

I was able to get to my local library an hour before it closed indefinitely last Friday. I stocked up on 3,199 pages worth of fiction (spread out between five books, see below). I also have a Kindle that my bro...

If any of you have elementary school.aged kids, I pulled some parental brilliance out of my backside completely by accident yesterday. I have twin toddlers and an 8 year old that's already stircrazy. I was talk...

@coyote I have always loved to read.. and.. as convenient as Kindles etc are? Nothing beats the opening the book and turning the pages sinking slowly in to a different reality!!!

By JourneyWi... 6 years ago
@journeywithme2 I couldn't agree with you more: paper books > e-readers. That's why my Kindle is reserved for nonfiction titles that I'd have a hard time finding in print.

@coyote @journeywithme2 I have a bookmark that says "A book is the gift that keeps on giving!" I love that so much because its absolutely spot on! We give books as part of all of our grandchildren's gif...

I was at Walmart at the right time, and was able to buy TP, which I can now share with my H. man. I found out from my daughter, the reason I can't find canned cat food is because they aren't delivering it to ...

@journeywithme2 Holy God, is your son OK? Prayers for him!

By Luminata 6 years ago
How's everyone holding up? Remember, a large part of the reason for stocking up in the first place is to avoid encountering large crowds at the store now. Take the time to thank your store clerks for thei...

Chewy.com is still able to deliver, if that helps

Did you know that Walmart has an order online and pick up (special parking spots usually) at your store? @elaineg for your pet food. Links later below. You place your order online, pay with PayPal or a credit...

Thought I would share this incredible 110 year old man's secret for staying young and healthy! Garlic, Cinnamon, Honey, Olive oil and CHOCOLATE!! and he eats organic fresh fruit and veggies!

@triciact Love it!!!!!

By JourneyWi... 6 years ago
SO very true. When I last went to the store, I also thanked the cashier. I told him how appreciated and vital they were and hopped he knew that. I am thinking of writing a thank you card and giving it to the...

In our area, Uber Eats and GrubHub are waiving delivery fees, and most local restaurants we frequent have sent out emails saying that either they can do curbside pickup, deliver themselves, or to use one of the...

And so it has begun. A high School friend of mine on social media has had her first barter. 2 jars of Mayo for To Go Wipes and disinfectant. Let the bartering begin. I knew this would start happening.

By Lovendure... 6 years ago
@lovendures I'm probably repeating myself, but this week so far I bartered: 3 lemons off my tree for a box of gluten free pancake mix a jar of my homemade chicken stock for a large fresh onion

By LalaBella 6 years ago
@lauraf. I missed that post. Wow! I have an whole lemon tree still holding about 40 unpicked lemons. I am planning on making lemonade this weekend. We certainly have holes in our stores, sometimes big o...

@journeywithme2 I'm digesting everything in this forum (at the same time working) and I just wanted to say I'm praying for your son! Light surrounding him in swirls I just pictured.

By TriciaCT 6 years ago
@triciact Thank you ! Thank everyone who has been praying.. he is finally starting to turn the corner after 7 days of being really really sick.

By JourneyWi... 6 years ago
"Twitler when the toilet is flushed." @laura-f And let's face it, there's a whole lot of flushing going on. Too much fecal material spraying out of a lot of supposedly intelligent leaders mouths (ok well ou...

By Michele 6 years ago
@journeywithme2 I will keep you both in my prayers. It is not easy being a parent in normal times when our children get sick. Now it is even more difficult. May he continue his road to recovery.
