Out of the 999+ problems I may have...that ain't one.That's why you got the Metamucil.
I need to pour little entry step pads for my greenhouse. Will take 5-7 80 lb. bags.

Good luck! The one by me had full parking lots all weekend. I’m a little shocked they have all their landscaping stuff out. So much for flatting the curve and shutting down non-essentials.
I visited local nursery a couple times riding bike back from workouts before the lockdown but they still didn't have the 6 packs of tomatoes. I prepared the ground a few days ago, am hoping for volunteers! I'm not going out there to hunt down tomatoes in this. A neighbor's supposedly gonna hit Home Depot this week and hopefully look for tomatoes for me.I am calling a local greenhouse and ordering up some hanging baskets, pony paks for window boxes, and tomato starts. It is not home depot, usually really quiet. I'll wait in the truck till I am comfortable with the crowd size. I have no other pressing plans
Governor of CA today announced he was giving away 500 ventilators to agencies outside the state because I guess he figures others need them more. I don't know that we won't need them, but CA is doing much better than many places.The week after peak is just as bad because it you need ICU or a vent you probably won’t get one the week after peak as they will all be full as people tend to stay Icu or a vent for about 7 days.

The landscaping and plant stuff is out because it's spring...and cooped up people want to use their "social distancing" time to an advantage...

Yeah I get it, but it's sort of a good thing/bad thing. I was going to go in for bleach and denatured alcohol Sat, but the store is too small for social distancing and the people I saw going in didn't even know what it meant.
I'll have to let Cuomo know so his attempt to seize upstate NY's ventilators with the national guard will be halted.
It makes sense - the Federal government has decided they didn't want to take a leadership role, so states are seeing that it's in their interest to share resources that they don't currently need. Areas will peak at different times - share what you have now and then get stuff back at peak. There just isn't enough to cover every state's peak, so we may as well do the next best thing to maximize our existing stocks.Governor of CA today announced he was giving away 500 ventilators to agencies outside the state because I guess he figures others need them more.

OK, belay that orderI am calling a local greenhouse and ordering up some hanging baskets, pony paks for window boxes, and tomato starts. It is not home depot, usually really quiet. I'll wait in the truck till I am comfortable with the crowd size. I have no other pressing plans
OK, belay that order
It was 32 again this morning. Every morning it has been right there. I'll leave those plants and tomato starts right there in the greenhouse for now.
Lol, not liking strongman Cuomo? He stole all those masks from my state as well

About a week ago their pantry was down. I guess they are back up.
Yeah, thanks. I always grow Early Girl (hybrid tomatoes). Hard to say with those what they are. 25, 40 seeds aren't a lot. There's one of 150 seeds, produced in China, the reviews make me wonder what they really are. It's getting late, at least for me, maybe I'll buy anyway. By the time the seedlings get going I'd be around 3 months behind where I usually am. Might be worth it, or maybe I'll just hope I get a few volunteers.You could also get them at Amazon
And now most stores (around here anyway) are limiting most purchases to one or two of each item, kind of hard to stock up with limited ability to buy. T paper still almost impossible to find and you'll see Jesus before you'll see any hand sanitizer or wipes. Even with all that if you go after 5 :00 PM most all soups, rice, pasta, sauce are completely gone, where are all these people coming up with all this $$ for 3 weeks going on end?.Like @BoomerD noted: How many American's are prepared to stock 2+ weeks or food, let alone a month. I'm stocking up but still making 1 trip per week. I take necessary precautions while out, but it's not easy.
Credit Cards...there will come a time soon that will run out too.

Some simply don't make enough money to plan ahead and have some savings, I feel for them, and hope they can find the support the need to ride some of this out.And now most stores (around here anyway) are limiting most purchases to one or two of each item, kind of hard to stock up with limited ability to buy.

It's crap. GO!! Support your local businesses.
No one who makes just a "living wage" owns the newest high-end car, I've worked around these people my whole life, if they buy a new car it's something like a KIA Soul, not a BMW.Some simply don't make enough money to plan ahead and have some savings, I feel for them, and hope they can find the support the need to ride some of this out.
There is a huge group of people that have created their own jam. They make a living wage, but feel it is too important to impress others (who really don't give a damn), by having the biggest TV, the newest high-end car, $200 jeans instead of $25 jeans, etc. Wonder how sitting at home in $200 jeans wondering where how you are going to buy groceries tomorrow is working for them.
It's the myth that everyone loves to tell themselves so they can shit on people scraping by.No one who makes just a "living wage" owns the newest high-end car, I've worked around these people my whole life, if they buy a new car it's something like a KIA Soul, not a BMW.
