We have Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome but with a dash of Idiocracy thrown in. There's also Children of Men and a few Handmaids Tale on the shelf.

In November we hope to staff a future run by science minded adults with a proven track record of getting shit done.

Seems to be a run on that now. I have a dishwasher, but I clean my kitchen with the liquid. Cannot find it anywhere.

I guess my kitchen counters and floors will have to be cleaned with this for the duration.

Why the hell is this a shortage now?

of using dish- washing liquid like I was trying to put out a fire with it. When I suggested that she could wash up after I cook supper, she decided that how much soap I used could be our family secret.

After three or four hours of swinging that thing I would be worn out with line still waiting for personal service.

The ones made in Scotland. I usually get them at World Market which, of course, is closed. I could get them shipped, but then my husband would know I have them and there wouldn’t be anything left for me.

on my safari into the world to forage for food, thought I’d give them a try. LORD, they’re tasty! It’s a good thing I don’t plan to go out again for another three weeks - I’d be hoarding more of those than toilet paper!

Bah! We only go out twice a month, heard it's Egg Benedict day and wanted to make some, but alas, leaving your phone at home is not handy for those last minute things we need (don't need, just want).

and I forgot to order the main staples of solitary confinement. Bread and Catsup. So if you are going, please pick me up a couple of loaves of whole wheat and a couple of big bottles of Heinz. Just drive by my place and throw it over the fence.
