Can you command via the internet home delivery system that they be safely delivered to your Pastry Sanctuary?

I'm SO jealous of the people who own any land from the Thousand islands..

some of those islands (according to the guide at the time, and it must be true)
were sold at the time
for literally ONE bottle of wine, from Native American, to the family,

or money, but less than anyone would expect even at the time-- prices..
and now their offspring's offspring etc get to enjoy it..

i was soooo jealous..
when i heard that. i was about 12 at the time, i think...

If only I had made more progress with my remote-controlled pie-capture drone.

Well it finally happened. I went for my weekly shopping trip at the grocery store and they were completely out of toilet paper. However they were not out of water or canned and dry goods etc. Maybe people figure if they don't eat, they won't need to use the toilet paper they have horded.

I was thinking after getting home that if I left half a roll of toilet paper in the car, someone would smash a window to steal it.

I think you’ve just come up with a genius insurance scam... :wink:

I've been pea podding in bed with my Om Noms over the past few days, getting over a cold.

I am worried that there may be pints of ice cream in the neighborhood that are reaching their expiration date with no one to appreciate them.

My mom mentioned yesterday that she left a package of toilet paper from the previous night's shopping (just one package, it was a regular-buy, not a panic-buy) in the car while she was at work and she was kind of surprised that no one tried to break in and get it (I think she was joking).

It is pretty desolate downtown for a friday night judging from all the open parking spaces along the main drag. Of course the three main attractions; the arena, the theater and the big children's museum are likely closed.

I did not stay out long though. Cold, damp and windy.

I just realized it is Friday the 13th. That might have added to people staying home.

I would say at least half joking. The 7-Eleven convenience store I was just at is fully stocked with TP so I guess things are not quite that bad yet.
