For dining, not blowing my nose! It's not like I make a huge mess when I'm eating so cloth napkins just make sense. Paper towels are a waste and it really *is* getting hard to find paper products right now. No big deal to toss the cloth napkins in the wash. They can also be used, with some creative folding and a couple of elastic bands, be folded into a cloth mask. :) I looked for toilet paper yesterday. I was down to two rolls in each bathroom. Couldn't find TP anywhere. I did manage to buy a few boxes of facial tissues and a very small roll of really cheap paper towels. I'm going to be using the facial tissues as TP. I don't want to think about using the cheap rough paper towels as TP. I think I'd rather look in the "rag bag" in the laundry room. My mother left a bag full of cloth scraps. Alledgely for using as dust rags and polishing rags. As far back as I can remember, Mom always had a "rag bag". :) They've been sitting there for who knows how long. They're clean, but of course I'd wash them first. There was *no* TP at any of the stores and they had limits on how much you could buy of anything paper. Looks like I'm going to have to make due with facial tissue and perhaps rags until there is a re-stocking of TP down here. Seems like the supply chain has been cut off a bit. Or the demand is exhorbitant. Damned Covid-19. I surely never thought I'd find myself in the middle of a toilet paper shortage. Not even when preparing for a hurricane. Or back in west TN when there was the threat of snow and suddenly the stores ran out of milk and toilet paper. This is totally different. People are panicking and the supply chain disrupted. Meanwhile, I see ads on TV from Angel Soft and Northern saying how much they're doing to keep production going and they're donating masks and money to help. Okay, but where is the toilet paper? How come I can't find any? I find it difficult to believe the small population in this area have totally decimated your supply. The good thing is, I won't be running out of food. I always knew having a stand-alone freezer and stocking up the fridge and pantry was a good idea. :) Just have a problem with buying toilet paper right now. This is definitely an interesting time to be alive. Jill |

It will be 16 years next month and I have not had to look for work. I do occasionally watch the news, You Gotta Eat here or Diners Drive-ins and Dives while I have lunch. There was an exceptionally cold spell where were stayed in and binge watched 24 and. Then there was a couple months of recovery from heart surgery where I watched a lot of movies. |

You had better get some kind of container to put it in because you can't flush tissues or paper towels. That will clog up your plumbing. > Just have a problem with buying toilet paper right now. This is > definitely an interesting time to be alive. We usually have a good supply on hand and my wife had picked some up at Costco just after this thing started up. Then I was at Costco and grabbed some just in case. That was more than a month ago and it is still out in the car. |

Ummm. If I'm not getting enough >oxygen, my body will let me know pretty quickly. No, it might not. Most people who go to hospital with Covid symptoms are already in very bad shape. An oxygen meter can tell you a couple of weeks earlier that you need medical help. You might arrive in hospital earlier and in better shape, so they can help you better. ==== Quite so!

These gadgets are completely non-invasive - unless you think that having slight pressure on your fingernail is invasive. They work by shining a light through your finger and measuring absorption levels. It turns out that these cheap devices are quite accurate. I expect a normal oxygen saturation level to be from 99 to 95 percent. If it reads below 90%, you could be in trouble or you have a chronic lung problem. The alarming thing about the covid-19 virus is that you could have a O2 saturation level that's incompatible with sustaining life and still feel fine. How that works is not known. That's God for you - always playing tricks on men. === OK I was just wondering if his was different to mine:) |
