Back from the store, though about to take off to the(oh god) MALL. I checked and the water is halfgone from the shelves, but the TP is still all there, so I guess our town isn't worried about running out of TP. I got lots of cat food. And we have a gas grill. Does it say something about lifestyles if I admit that when you mentioned putting in a supply of books and sitting by the window bundled up, with the outside world shut down, I had a frisson of sheer pleasure at the thought?
I did all my shopping and then I decided to ask at the video section if they had this game for sale that Ammo wants. I left my cart next to a display and when I came back, without the game which of course they didn't have, my cart was gone. I ran around screaming until a manager found it for me. They had thought it was merchandise to be returned to the shelves, only they had added all this other stuff to be put back and I had to go through it all for mine. I COULD have bought a toy dumptruck, or a set of hair scrungees, or an artichoke, but chose not to. I don't know why it was embarrassing to go through it with this man... maybe it was all the toilet paper. So, being me, I felt I had to explain, which made me sound even stranger, a yuppiemom Southlake survivalist and her TP Y2K Headlines: Mom recounts how her family nearly froze to death on Jan. 1 but survived by wrapping their bodies in 50 rolls of CHarmin and using cat food as insulation.
You;ll hear this and say-- oh no...we know her... |
