What You Can and Can't Find When Grocery Shopping

MARILYN @Marilynda1225 (83220) • United States 27 Mar 20

When it comes to groceries and what's available it can be like playing a game. Today we decided to make our list and have it delivered. Unfortunately the deliveries are booked solid for two weeks. Next choice is pick-up....

Lynn The lack of frozen vegetables doesn't surprise me too much. Frozen foods went out almost as quickly as the canned here, and they haven't been getting enough to keep them in stock for very long. Today was the first time in a few weeks that I've seen the frozen...

I can't stand listening to Donald Trump

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120396) • United States 26 Mar 20

He is speaking at a Coronavirus Task Force press conference. He has the vocabulary of a 1st grader. He speaks so vaguely and never commits to anything. I don't know if he truly doesn't know the information or if he simply...

Lynn My mom made a comment about how well he's handling this crisis when we talked on the phone earlier this week. It took me a while to chase down my eyes after that one.

Coronavirus Update

Vedant Polepally @MarbleGlobe200 (60) 22 Mar 20

I was wondering, do you guys think that grocery stores and other suppliers will close in the near future? Perhaps that's why everyone is stockpiling supplies at their homes. I just went shopping and couldn't find anything left in...

Lynn I don't think they will; they've been classified as essential services in a lot of places, and many of the grocery chains are hiring more temporary workers to help stock the shelves and meet demands. The stores here are getting more shipments in daily. The...

Going to Have to Brave the Grocery Store in a Few Days

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29427) • Sonora, California 21 Mar 20

To get cat food, they have enough for now, but I need to go and get cat food in a few days, and trash bags if I can find them. Jill went to the store yesterday because she was there already and was able to pick up milk, and...

Lynn If Home Depot is still open you might be able to find trash bags there. The grocery stores here are all sold out but Home Depot had several pallets of them right in the entrance.

I'm Done

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29427) • Sonora, California 20 Mar 20

I just can't take the judgement, the criticism on my choices so I'm done here at least for the moment. Most of you are awesome, and I appreciate that, but some are just upsetting me in a situation that is already...

Lynn Some people just have to be right no matter what. I'm sorry that they're adding to the stress you're dealing with right now.

California is now on lockdown

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120396) • United States 19 Mar 20

They've ordered over 40 million people to stay at home starting tomorrow. It was only a matter of time for this to happen. Anyone who has taken algebra or biology knows about exponential growth curves. Sounds like the governor...

Lynn What's really crummy is that the testing situation has ensured that there is a huge discrepancy between the number of reported cases and the number of actual infections. The lockdown orders stink, but it's going to take drastic measures to flatten that growth...

Covid-19 Numbers Today 03/15/20

Jim Bauer @porwest (93197) • United States 15 Mar 20

People are continuing to be in a sheer panic over the Coronavirus, fueled mainly by the media. I still stand by my assertion that this is a major, major overreaction, and as a result of the REACTION many people are needlessly...

Lynn Our kids' school decided to cancel classes on Saturday. I think the governor decided that all schools should be closed as of yesterday. The numbers from South Korea have been the most interesting to me so far. They seem to be doing a lot more extensive...

Hot weather versus corona virus

Alex Socorro @Alexandoy (65308) • Cainta, Philippines 15 Mar 20

There were speculations last month that the corona virus with official name of COVID-19 has no match for the hot sun. There is logic in that because heat can definitely kill organisms. If you had seen one of my posts before,...

Lynn I think some of that speculation may come from the usual patterns we see with influenza. A lot of the spread during winter months is because people tend to spend more time indoors and in close contact with other people, so illnesses can spread more...

The virus

Hanni Harel @Hannihar (130213) • Israel 15 Mar 20

We need a cure for that virus and need someone figure out how to do it. It is not getting better, but, worse. So far supermarkets and banks are open. Some schools will be closed so parents will have to figure out what to do with...

Lynn We got an email tonight telling us that our kids' school is going to be closed at least through the 26th due to the concerns about the virus. I'm really glad that I'm self-employed and we don't have to worry about finding childcare on such short notice. I...

So GLAD Amazon Stopped You

Mary Guice @Elizaby (6902) • Pensacola, Florida 14 Mar 20

I just read a news story online from New York Times where a guy cleared shelves of hand sanitizers, wipes, and masks in 1300 mile radius from where he lived in Tennessee and had begun to sell them on Amazon for much higher prices...

Lynn Good! A true public service in this instance would be buying enough for one's personal use and leaving the rest for others in the immediate area who may need it. What happened was that they got greedy and decided to prey on others' fear during a pandemic,...

And Now We Have Food Hoarders

Sharon @simone10 (54187) • Louisville, Kentucky 14 Mar 20

I am getting really scared. Up until today, I wasn't really worried about anything connected to the coronavirus. I know there was a shortage of toilet paper and sanitizing stuff which made me pay attention. Today that has all...

Lynn We were in Walmart last night trying to do what would basically be our regular weekly grocery shop. It was surreal seeing how many shelves were completely bare. I bought enough broth for one batch of the beef stew recipe I make and took half the available...

Trump is making a statement about coronavirus at 8 pm tonight

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (120396) • United States 11 Mar 20

This should be interesting. He has been in denial and misleading the country for the past month. He keeps saying that his administration is doing a wonderful job. He keeps saying that the coronavirus testing kits are "perfect"...

Lynn I imagine it's going to be very similar to any other speech he's given--we're going to have the biggest vaccines, the best vaccines, fix the vaccines and stop giving the kids autism, MAGA! I really have no desire to watch it live, and the transcript will be...

Do you care that the greatest Dow Jones Industrial Average loss in the history of the world occurred today?

The Horse @TheHorse (220772) • Walnut Creek, California 27 Feb 20

That blasted virus keeps spreading, albeit slowly, and it's affecting various sectors of the stock market. Airline stocks are down. Hotel stocks are down. Industries that support the above industries are down. Chip making stocks...

Lynn I hate watching the numbers in my portfolio drop. At least the solution to that problem is pretty simple--don't watch them drop! We had a bit in Tesla and that plunge was a bit painful but not unexpected. Our general plan is to ride it out as...

Stay The Course

Jim Bauer @porwest (93197) • United States 29 Feb 20

There has been a lot of conversation (mostly outside of here) about what the stock market is doing, and what people should do. I'm a bit known for my bit of knowledge about the markets and money matters and so a lot of people have...

Lynn Oh, I was cringing watching the numbers in my portfolio drop every day this week, and I'm only down about 5% from what I've contributed. I upped my automatic contributions to my Roth IRA and my husband dropped his 401(k) contributions down to just the...

How far does change go?

Amber @AmbiePam (94541) • United States 20 Feb 20

I believe people can change. But do people who do certain things change? You might remember my past discussions about my sister's foster, Baby Dee. I was reading the news article on her bio mom who went to jail for abusing her....

Lynn I think people like that can change, regardless of what they've done. The key factor is that they have to want to change. It's not something that can be forced, because a person has to be committed to making that change and then...
