Grandbaby is potty trained, however, being a big girl she wants no supervision during the wiping stage of things. She's in the learning stages of wiping, and thinks she's to use copious amounts of TP. I can't afford her TP habit.

Yea, beach or Lysol wipes 99.99 germs and viruses

. I just wanna k ow when everyone uses all this sanitized stuff and antibiotics all the time hurts you more than not. These drs antibiotics this antibiotics that then when something does break out like the h1n1 or coronavirus its already had time to mutate around all that stuff. It did with the h1n1 I had it twice back to back. Big thing on getting tested and in the end the world was fine. We used all that medication just for the strand to mutate and change to get around all these medications the drs pump us full of. Dont make since to me. I'm not saying it's not bad or not gonna get worse cause it just may but it's not the end of the world tomorrow will still come. Everyone is freaking out and in the end they will have lots of toilet papper as a result..

Funny thing is bread is still widely available in my area (I just got back from the store and walked around to "take inventory"). Almost all fresh foods were well stocked minus some meats (like ground meat was sparse). Ramen and canned soup have been cleaned out. I guess if you don't cook, you're going to struggle, and if you do, there's no shortage of ingredients. Only thing on my list that I didn't get was tissue (they had some but I wanted a 3 pack).

I walked around big lots today, literally everything was there except for powdered dry and canned soup, tp and hand sanitizer.
heaven forbid people stop eating processed foods during this time.
I pet sit for a living, one of my clients is asking me not to go anywhere or come in contact with people for the next 3 months in case I need to cat sit for them, they don't want to get it. they are in their 80s, so understand completely! but I only need to cat sit when they will be gone, they don't and shouldn't need to go anywhere! I know they have plenty of food and pet food, tp and soap.

Some of Germany is 4 kisses to family and friends
Netherlands is 2 or 3 kisses....

I really miss that intimate contact that is not intimate....

In the Netherlands is always 3 with family and dear friends ... or a hug for the inner circle. Relations is a handshake. Going to work is a “hoi“ or goedemorgen”.
Some families or regions may have different ways of greeting in the Netherlands.

The Italians and French kis a lot more as far as I know.

And for now:
No kisses, no handshakes, but a karate greeting or waving a hand.

TP
People here go mad too, buying toilet paper and other useless stuff for this virus.
But if you where to late to buy any TP you can always use water to clean. Use a spray bottle or take an extra shower. Using news papers and magazines will cause problems in a lot of sewer systems.

This was super interesting to me;

I found this one super interesting . If they go for it and it works this corona-panic will end within a few weeks.

Wonder how the french will cope without the four kisses and hand shaking

It's been a long time since I lived in NL... back then it was 2 with a handshake from strangers and 3 with a hug from family and friends...

Here in New Zealand they don't even shake hands...

Antibiotic do not treat viruses. There is not genetic mutation related to antibiotics.

I hadn't been to the store really this week but apparently when it comes to toilet paper it's pretty empty around here. My friend sent me this. He's a goofball. But I just don't understand the obsession with stocking up on toilet paper

And if you need hand soap and can't find any if you can find a foaming pump dispenser you can mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of Castile soap with one cup of water and you can add coconut oil which is an antibacterial tea tree oil which is an antifungal and anti-bacterial and lemon oil which is a disinfectant. Those are things that might be more available at times like this. I keep it premade around my house because that's what I use for hand soap because it's actually cheaper that way and it doesn't break my hands out. Two more bonuses
