Here you go:

Same in my area. No flour or sugar. I have to think twice before making any baking decisions. I understand making a batch of cookies or a loaf of bread, but the shelves have been wiped out for weeks, so this is flour hoarding. I happened to be in Walgreen’s on a restock day, so I managed to buy toilet paper. I usually…

Oh my gosh, I’m sorry you and your parents are going through this.

So next to toilet paper shortages in our local stores... no flour. Everyone suddenly decided to bake. There are lots of baked goods in the store but no flour and almost no sugar.

I feel a bit weird today. Last night my brother told me a family friend was in hospital with covid19 and not expected to live through the night. About midnight my mum called to see if I was awake and okay to chat, and told me that friend has died, with her husband and estranged daughter with her. Friend has been…

Thank you for this!  

Oh, fine - if you’re going to twist my arm, I’ll post a picture of my rescue dogs.

Could you call your doctor’s office and see how they are handling things like this? They might be spacing out appointments to minimise the number of people in the waiting room. If you think you might be risking permanent damage, you might not want to wait.

This cat is just too perfect. When she sits the white fur on her chest and tummy forms a heart.

I am in the greys, but here goes...

Stole this pic off of Reddit r/chicago. This gentleman has apparently had enough of sheltering in place.

My (step)Dad has been in a nursing home for about 15 years (massive stroke), and Mom made it a point to visit nearly every day. (Three times a day on weekends, stayed home if she didn’t feel well.) With the lockdown, she couldn’t do that. And then they turned Dad’s home into a step-down facility and temporarily moved…

Look at that face!!

Sheltie! The cats will get herded. They are adorable dogs.

Agreed! Super adorable on all counts how she finally wore my brother down after trying for nearly a decade.

Adorable! Successful!

I would LOVE to foster pets buuuuut I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. The dogs would adore more friends, the cats would... nnnnnnnnnnot. I cat is cool with whatever, but our youngest cat already has stress issues and HATES CHANGE. If we move his food bowls slightly he gets upset. My dad put his wet food in his dry food bowl…

I only have enough food hoarded for me.  Fido’s gonna have to kick rocks.

I haven’t taken on any foster animals; my parents and I all work in essential occupations (pharmacy for me, probate and real estate law for them), so we’re still too busy to give any animals the attention they need. My niece, however, made a PowerPoint for an online school project called “Why We Need a Puppy,” and it…

Things went sort of off the rails at the end of the week. Someone who has just proved impossible to work with for everyone dropped the ball. Her supervisor retires at the end of the month so maybe her new one will be willing to deal with her behavior issues? Meanwhile we’re all in clean up mode. Thus, work is still…
