Had to go to Home Depot for something else, sold out of hand sanitizer.

Me: Home Depot was out of hand sanitizer too. Maybe we should just make our own. lol.
Husband: I mean it wouldn't be that hard.
Me: Yeah, it's just glycerin and alcohol, right?
Husband: Yeah, think so.

Me: OK, but not today, like later, if things start to get really bad

Funny enough, right when this whole thing was starting to go off a month back I finally got around to doing my earthquake kit stuff.
Water in Seattle is really tasty so I just bought water purification kits instead of bottles of water though. Really don't feel like having 14 gallons of water sitting around.

honestly you might just want to hit up Target instead if its jsut paper towels. they're about teh same price (though shittier quality)

should be a lot less busy. that's usually my "i dont want to deal with costco crowds and just need one item in semi-bulk quantity" option.

If you are hallucinating such comical strawmen you might want to see a doctor.

Not now though, you should let all healthcare facilities focus on doing their jobs probably.

Yo quick tip goons, get some hand lotion too because my hands have been dry as gently caress from frequent washing.

Went to the local indochinese store and they had completely stocked shelves of extremely cheap gigantic bags of rice, cheap canned sardines and dace and crab as far as the eye can see, rice noodles, more spices than you could imagine.

I was the only person there, it was great

The study found that 7 percent of women didn't wash their hands, and of those who did, 79 percent used soap. Another 15 percent of men didn't wash their hands at all, the study found, and only 50 percent of those who did used soap.
