Stocked up on water a few weeks ago. Last year--a whole week without running water. I have no stored up reserves of patience for a repeat of last year, however. Oh, and BTW, it's Howard E. Butt. (Went to high school with his son, Howard, Jr. Nice family and valuable members of the community.)

Howard! I kept thinking that didn't sound right. Thank you for the intel!

I thought Nutty Buddy was the frozen ice cream cone with the delicious chocolate in the bottom of the cone. Google tells me they're also another name those Little Debbie things. One of the few Little Debbie things I do not like.

100% remember the Nutty Buddy as the ice cream cone with hard chocolate and nuts! It was a dessert at my elementary school and quite a hot commodity. Guess they lost the trademark and Little Debbie went for the power grab.

Getting the fireplace into working condition was a priority. It cost more than the estimate, but it was completed last month. Since the pandemic, I've kept most items -- within reason-- on hand. I came back from NOLA right as everyone was headed inside and there wasn't much available. Since then I've kept canned items and paper products over stocked. Sam's and Costco memberships have been good for this.
