Getting “Extra” Ready

[sigstroker]

Thanks for the info.

Wow, somewhat surprising. I guess I just didn't think eggs would be a panic buy. I haven't been out much for awhile cuz we're stocked, but I thought eggs would be available after I run out. Hmmm.

Get some chickens.

I clean my firearms in the back yard 10-20 at a time. Not now since it has been raining for days. I have food/water but am running low on diet coke for my rum. I rarely have a need for eggs but do wish I had some milk.

I am starting an exchange program. Depending on what it is and the condition I will trade 1-3 rolls of Tp for your firearm. No AR type wanted.

I was pretty well stocked up anyway, food, water, gasoline, 1st aid supplies. Not doing anything special with guns as of yet, I don't think I'll need to, who knows?

How do you manage that? My store says "the script says 30 days worth" and that's all I get.

Tell the pharmacy or doctor that you lost them. They will Rx another batch.
If you are on long-term meds, always refill at earliest date; over time you will have way more that a thirty day supply.

It has ALREADY been proven - for DECADES, with OLD magazines (newer silicon/alloy springs are EVEN better!) - that LOADED mags do NOT lose their "springiness."

Ergo, NOW is the time (if you didn't do it YEARS ago) LOAD ALL YOUR MAGS!!!

When the BOOGAFLU starts, you DON'T want to be yelling at your wingman, "LOAD me some more mags!!!" You WANT to say, "Pass me ANOTHER (loaded) mag, please!"

or tell them you are traveling overseas. although this might not work with all the travel bans.

i guess you can tell them you are self isolating so you want some extras just in case.

"always refill at earliest date; over time you will have way more that a thirty day supply. "

Too late right now - but I've managed to acquire a 9 month supply using this method.

We call it being prepared.

My scripts don't have an "earliest date". It's a 30 day supply. If I refill much before 25 days they'll probably figure something is up. I know they use an algorithm to establish a window, because if I go more than 33-35 days, I get an automated reminder call.

I'd probably have to get the doctor to do it, not the pharmacy. They'll probably make me come in so they can read my bp, etc, not to mention charge me, and it will be at least a month until I get an appointment. If I'm lucky.

Usually it's 7 days for walk in and 10 days for mail
Not included are schedule 2 meds narcotics etc

And given whats going on - just asking may work, say an extra month - if you can afford the cost and as I said not schedule 2

I'm in a small town in the middle of nowhere. There had been no panics up till now, shelves full of water and tp. Until tonight. I had to go to Wally's for a prescription refill, and it was like a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie. Zero left in the lunch meat cooler. No water. Canned and frozen foods 99.5% gone. zero bread on the shelves. Employees were moving cases into position to re-stock and people were tearing those open.

Is that all they're buying mostly? I guess it's one time that people would actually want the 48 pack of Spaghettios.
