Better stay in the woods! The hoards have your beautiful town on their radar.
For those that don't know, there is a toilet paper factory in Lionfan's area.
For those that don't know, you're better off with a handful of Basswood leaves than Great Lakes Tissue brand toilet paper.
 
Only the smaller stores in small towns have any TP left.

I bought seven 4-packs today from the pharmacy. They probably have 75 packs left still. We have 7 people in the house so that is roughly a 2 week supply. I could have bought them out but I am not a greedy *******.

You see these people who bought 12 CASES of toilet paper and 1000 bottles of hand sanitizer. Makes you wonder WTH is wrong with them.
 
No. It's British humour.... We don't have the same attitude to a lot of stuff including guns and politics, and are just making a joke about something we think odd.
Glad you clarified LOL.

I have a number of European friends on Facebook and a few of them seem to think they are experts in US political matters...some of the stuff they post make my far left wing friends seem conservative. LOL

Then I got into an argument with my British cousin's wife about logging. She has lived in a suburb of London her entire life and never worked outdoors. She was sharing the most silly clips about how all logging should be stopped.
 
I just started a small coffee table. Going with a river pour View attachment 807405View attachment 807406
Cool. Metal legs? Do you use a casting resin? This current table used the left-overs in two different drums of epoxy resin I found in my sisters shed recently. After some brief testing I realised it would have a yellow colour so I deliberately didn't seal the wood, hoping it would leach another colour so it all kinda worked. Turned out better than I hoped. But I couldn't find a good ratio of hardener to resin that would keep the curing temps/speed reasonable and certainly not in any volume, so I poured about a max of a gallon at a time, left it for about 2hrs to cure up a bit, then poured another lot. Rinse and repeat.

The PVC I used as a mold distorts at about 60°C and one of the pours peaked at about 54°C - cutting it a bit fine :). The PVC is all I had available at the time.

Just yesterday a mate and I were talking about buying a drum of clear casting resin. There are some out there that would allow us to pour huge volumes in one go and they'd stay clear (unless we wanted to add colour). He said he approached a USA bidness but they wouldn't sell to NZ. I'm sure West System here in NZ would sell us something like it but I bet it's very expensive. This coffee table will have used 60L (15.8 gallons) by the time it's all over. the legs have drunk nearly 3 gallons so far. It would be a very expensive exercise if the resin wasn't free.
 
I was just to town. Usually its bumper to bumper traffic as school lets out ECT... An hour ago it was very few cars onesie twosie. As I left town it was picking up slightly.
Which town?

I just ran over to Dollar General for a few more things that the wife texted. It was much busier than this time is normally.
