Me too! I have ladders and step stools hidden all over the house!

I have ladders from a step stool to a 5 step painting ladder at the ready myself! Ya gotta!

Look, you can't get any face masks these days. Walmart can't help with that. I like shopping at Walmart, the people are very nice, Walmart is a great place. No one can get face masks, I'm just trying to help, and don't appreciate your comment.

Bravo to you, I'm sure those employees will appreciate your loving gift!

I cannot imagine needing step stools and ladders to reach my cabinets.

I can even reach the one above the fridge.

Though I do have to stand on my top toes

Don't rub it in. I have to ask strangers to reach items for me at the store, like, every visit!

In your case the best advice I can give you it`s to stay home, isolate yourself from the rest of your family but by saying isolate I don´t mean to stop having contact with your family.FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SUPPORTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.Here in Portugal we learned the worst way with the terrible examples of Italian and Spanish people,it`s not only old people who die,all ages are affected but elderly people are more affected for all the reasons.

Confinement is the best way to keep save.My parents are both 80 years old and we don´t contact them physically for about one month.We talk every day and they need anything they ask us or one of the marvelous neighbors they have (I leave about 300 km from them and my other brothers live about 200 km from them) with the restrictions of travelling we can only go there on weekends and one at the time, we see them from the window but never touching them (we Portuguese people love to kiss and hug all the people and now that`s not possible).Thanks to God my parents are perfectly independent persons otherwise these horrid times will be much difficult to pass.Elderly people also must not contact with children- for some reason they are not much affected by the virus but children are one of the most important transmitters.Wash frequently your hands with soap (that`s enough , when you can´t wash your hands than use hand sanitizer/rubbing alcool) .Coming out wear a mask at all the times(chinese approach) (don´t forget to change it every two hours and washing the hands)if you don´t have masks you can learn online how to make different kinds of masks.I hope it all goes well and things will be better for sure -don´t minimize; don´t exaggerate use sense and sensibility

You mean you don't choose 2 sturdy cans and stand on them? Or grab something long and thin and sturdy and use it to dislodge cans and thing so they fall 6" or 8" into your hands?

People are always offering me help but I figure it's my job to figure out how to cope.

Our curve is starting to flatten a little too.

This isolation is making me buy things I've been non stop shopping on Amazon and eBay

Let's not spoil her too much.

Good idea!! She might start demanding more payment

I have the opposite problem. I have people asking me to help them get things. Not very often but occasionally. I don’t mind.

Sorry.
