This is just a quick note concerning my most recent post. I’ve made an important correction.
The supermarkets are NOT closing on the weekend; that was my misunderstanding of something Lino said (his fault!). It’s the big commercial shopping centers that are closed on the weekend now — but they are required to keep open the entrance to the supermarket component. So food, yes, but you can’t plan to fritter away Saturday afternoon anymore wandering around looking at shoes and accessories for your phone and lingerie and whatever else people look at in big shopping centers.
Of course you realize that I could have adapted to the lack of a supermarket on Saturday and Sunday, if it should have gone that way; it did not shake the foundations of my universe. But I’m glad to know I was wrong. And how often can I usefully say that?
Supermarkets make me think of lines. Venice makes me think of lines. Not the same lines.

Yes, TP is what the people are going for here in Napa.
Not Pasta not cooking oil but [ butt ] TP .
Am I the only one who finds this funny ?
BTW
I always have a years supply just in case of times like this .
I’m now offering TP for various services, anyone interested ?

Does the Sears catalog still exist? Asking for a friend.
Many (many many) years ago, my friend’s grandparents owned a tiny dark grocery store with an outhouse in the backyard. Next to the wooden seat was always a neat pile of the crinkly tissue paper squares in which oranges came wrapped in those days. They were carefully smoothed out, but nothing could make them absorbent. A Sears catalogue page would have felt luxurious in comparison. (I’m wondering now: when did they stop wrapping individual oranges in tissue paper?)
Crates of oranges here still contain a good number that have been wrapped in tissue paper — pears too. I’ve never understood the purpose of this but I absolutely confirm your opinion on their absorbency. Zero, or less than zero. Thanks, I will never look at those oranges in the same way again.
Please tell your ” friend ” yes, but [ butt] its online, could
be a problem ……… their is another joke in here, somewhere .

And you’ll have something to do to occupy your time and energy, too, when you run out of books to read (as if). Brilliant!
Hilarious follow-up!!!
Love the photos and your astute observation regarding number of socks… you’re brilliant!!
❤️❤️❤️
I must be borderline spectrum or something, but I actually counted them. Or is this one of many signs that I have too much time on my hands?
Thank you, Erla. ❤️ Sending love.
Also running out of tp. May end up (!) using the contents of my “to shred” box (note to self:remove staples).
Thanks so much! And yes: “Note to self: remove staples” indeed!
Glad your sense of humor is intact!
Still laughing at Ken’s last comment….non GMO, etc.
Forgot to add, my homemade TP is fair trade and no animals
were harmed in the making of …… and has the advantage of
not being a target of my Cat Pizmo , who loves twirling
the rolls …….
