I'd say stocking up is a good thing no matter why you do it...I fear for more than one thing...Global warming, higher power bills as of the 1st of Oct....20% they say....Prices climbing on food because of the effects of fuel, labor, etc, etc, etc.....I say tighten your seat belt WORLD , it's gonna be a rough ride ! AND ....Buzz is in the building...well, he was earlier....hubby is chasing him around the neighborhood right now....Oh me, will Papas temper hold out , or will his legs go first ? That's worth a try....sit down and let him come to you out of curiosity , then SNATCH! Pray for us !
