Were ok here I loaded up with more Hershey chocolate bars (symphony my favorite)the large ones. I like to dip the pieces in peanut butter, our sons love the almond bars and my wife just likes plain Hershey, but my wife will break into symphony or almond if no plain Hershey chocolate.
I took the boys to the gym yesterday our sons and their friend. And then we hit Red Robins they love cheeseburgers. Oh and stopped at store for dryer sheets they were in stock and fabric softener were not barbaric.

(54,379 posts)There are hoards of foreigners, rude, refusing to learn the local language, speaking only their own, acting like they own the place when most of them haven't spent ten days here cumulatively. I can understand why the locals here don't often have a high opinion of these Americans, and you find them literally all over the place during tourist season. I end up doing a lot of damage control.

(1,821 posts)I live in the Philly Suburbs. It seems to be a tradition to wipe out the local grocery store of milk, eggs and bread when bad weather is predicted.
I suppose the same rule applies to a Fake National Emergency.
A friendly tip, use pecan bread.

(11,086 posts)If the caravans somehow get past Donald Trump's magic wall, we have our back-up: walls of snow. Plenty of hamberders available nearby in case of short rations--McDonald's, Wendy's, Berder King. If desperate, we could go to IHOP. Wait, just been informed the I in IHOP stands for "International." Presume during emergency, our dear leader will force them to become "American Only" House of Pancakes. I guess the Belgian waffles are out of the question.
Oh, no! There's a TACO BELL just down the street! They got in! They. Got. In.

(4,079 posts)Day two of the "Marauding Hispanic mothers and children" emergency, and our country may never be the same! Crops are being harvested and planted...get this--on schedule; there's not an unclean hotel room to be found anywhere; delicious restaurants are popping up everywhere we look; and most shocking--defenseless American children are learning (gasp!) foreign languages, and even exotic cultures other than their own ancient, revered Amurkin culture.
Why, just yesterday I spotted a horde...well, a group...okay, okay, a couple...of these lawless immigrants crossing the street. They were SO devious! They were using the crosswalk just to trick us, but I know for a fact (because you can always tell with "illegals" ) that they were on their way to a secret MS13 meeting. The woman probably wasn't even really pregnant; in fact she probably had a pillow stuffed with "big" drugs under her shirt. And the guy with her probably wasn't even her son; I'm certain the binky and pull-ups were just part of a clever disguise...just like the stroller.
But they don't fool me. Did you know they use midgets to pass as children? It's true! I saw it on the news. And I always watch the news. In fact I usually just keep it on while I do other stuff, you know? Like while I make dinner, and while I do laundry, and ...and ...and ...
They are tricky

Im well stocked on toilet paper, split pea soup, coffee, and beer and wine.
I am keeping watch out the front window for the hoardes of furriners who will be roaming down our street and camping in our front yard according to Dumpy and Fox News. I have water balloons I can throw on them.
Anything else I need to do?

(3,208 posts)scratchy throat and fever like aches, but I vow to remain strong for the country. I guess the cold my grandsons and daughter had is being passed on to me. I won't hold it against them because they obviously got it from another source that is trying to bring everyone down.
Tomorrow though my daughter does have an appointment at Planned Parenthood for birth control. I guess she will be on the list of subversives.
Our family remains strong. We stocked up on macaroni and cheese yesterday because they were on sale, so we will have for provisions to last for a while.

(22,656 posts)Being in hurricane land there's always an ample supply of water, batteries, flashlights, easily prepared food, drinks, ice and in this case extra blankets, just in case the power goes out. Prepped battery pack for the mobile and extra food for the fur babies. Manual can opener. Full tank of gas, oil lamps, oil, candles. Just as a bonus I decided to cook a roast with lots of good veggies and have adult beverages at the ready, just in case. So as with most states of emergency, I'm good. If it gets too rough I may have to bake cookies, though.
Almost unflappable. Worst case scenario, I'll take a nap.
Hopefully you and yours will make it through. Hang in there!

(3,370 posts)My area of PA is about 2100 miles from the extremely dangerous city of El Paso, TX. I *know* that my cold came directly from the hoards of immigrants waiting to invade there. No fear, though. I took some good I took some American elderberry syrup and I am on the mend.
I'm going to Panera later. If I am going to defend myself and my country from this National Emergency, it's going to be with a belly full of broccoli cheddar soup, steak and white cheddar panini, and enough carbs to fuel all of 'Murica. Somebody please cover me.
Note: I will need to watch my DVR'd stock of Goldbergs and American Housewife episodes before I fight. Then we can go back to our National Emergency.

(32,083 posts)I figured all the Latin music and dances will help me better understand the perpetrators of this emergency. I will be headed back to the gym shortly, to practice my water skills, and listen to a Stephanie Miller Happy Hour pod cast while I swim my laps. I will be honing my skills for keeping my self from drowning because of laughing so hard with my face in the water. They may come in handy somehow in this emergency. Then I will come back and spend the afternoon watching hockey. The real emergency there is that I really don't like either team that is playing, but I will suffer through it, because I like watching hockey.

(2,199 posts)I love white russians too your wife knows what's good! So yeah a decent Americana band entertained us outside on the patio. We relaxed and played with a kitty who pestered us for french fries. It was kind of a chilly night but they had column heaters going. Pretty darn near perfect.

(17,441 posts)They have a placard saying NO and TOW on them and other writing I can't quite read from my bunker. They have deployed on both sides of the street and have spaced themselves out evenly.
We are under siege. Send reinforcements, but carpool or ride the bus, as parking is in short supply.
