Hmm did not think about that LOL. Buy those freeze dried foods instead they last forever and ever. Hydrate with water, that is if water is not contaminated. Oh well I think I will just rely on my wits. Or maybe the guy who has a freezer full of food that is going to go bad anyway if there is no electricity.. Maybe they will share.

It was difficult since I do love my wine, husband loves his rum. 😁

Did you prepare by getting vaccinated as well? At least your neighbors know where to stop in if they run short. And when you get past fear please donate what you will not use to the food banks . Stay safe.

Why are you telling us this? What happens when the electric goes out? I certainly hope you have a backup generator?

I hear ya.

A few months back I stopped at Lowe's for some food-grade plastic tubing. The guy who waited on me asked why it had to be food grade. I told him I use it in wine making.

His reply: "I've never sold things for winemaking. But people come in here pretty often for things to build moonshine stills."

Don't know if he was joking or not.

The company would not confirm the reason for the closing, which is taking place during the Florida sales tax holiday, which continues through Monday. Stores like Walmart regularly post huge sales during back-to-school shopping sprees fueled by the tax free holiday.

However, employees told **************.com that COVID-19 was the reason for the store’s closing”

IMO I hope they spray for roaches also. IMO that’s bigger threat to my well being. I can wear glove’s, respirator, and wash what I buy, but I can’t stop roaches inside boxes, sacks, and vegetables. Walmart not only store that got this problem IMO.

Why would he be joking? If you can make whine, why can’t they make whiskey for themselves?

I roll my eyes when I hear people talking about lockdowns and hoarding. The entire country of Panama is under a mask mandate and a curfew from 10 pm to 4 am. When the pandemic first started in Panama, no businesses were open except hospitals, gas stations, grocery stores and pharmacies. Airports were closed, no flights in or out of Panama. No buses or taxis were allowed out. No beer or liquor sales were allowed. Women could get out for grocery shopping and pharmacies on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for 2 hours only, time women could get out for 2 hours was based on passport or ID number. My time was 11 am to 1 pm. Men could get out for their 2 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My husband's time was 11 am to 1 pm. No one could get out after their time allotted or on the weekends, not even to walk. There were checkpoints set up to make sure people were not out when it was not their designated time. The police have the authority to fine or arrest anyone if they refused to be in their home if it was not their designated day and time, this also included refusing to wear a mask.

There was no hoarding going on. There was always food, toilet paper, etc available for everyone. People were respectful of leaving products on the store shelves for others.

Businesses are now all open. Everyone must wear a mask when out of the house. You can be fined or arrested if you refuse to wear a mask. The majority of the country has been vaccinated including myself and my husband. The Minister of Health and a committee makes the covid restrictions, they are all doctors. The politicians do not make the restrictions. The entire country is under the same mask mandates and curfew. No fighting or lawsuits among the towns and cities.

So please before complaining about Walmart being closed for a few hours, it could be much worse. Being in a different country during the pandemic has been difficult at times but it was for the health of the population. We are moving back to the United States because of family members that are ill.

Hola amiga. Me alegra saber que otro hispano se mudará a The Villages. Esto hace dos. Es una broma. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de los Americanos no comprenden o no han visto las tiendas de comestibles sin comida. Bienvenidos.

As you stated...unbelievable..because it is. The CDC has made a recall of the Innova rapid antigen covid test on June 10,2021. The PCR test was never invented for this purpose. They give false positives. Dr Kary B Mullis. is the inventor and repeated that his test is not for SAR-COVID.Do you trust your government.

Bet there's a lot of people who don't know or can't remember what these are called!

How many of us even know how to open a can without and electric can opener? How to use that hook thing on your boy-scout knife, if you can remember where the knife is?

May we never discover what will happen if....................

I'm waiting for all the hoarders to rent my can opener. Please don't tell them to buy one. If they do there goes that plan, and I'll start having to hoard them too.
