Very important TP PSA

Greetings dear readers and fellow quarantine-ees!  I am coming to you with an extremely important Public Service Announcement about toilet paper, or rather the lack thereof and alternatives to toilet paper. 

If you were not expecting this pandemic to come so soon and hit the TP supply so hard and you were not prepared and are now out of TP and using any number of TP alternatives that you have learned from this blog, DO NOT FLUSH THEM DOWN THE TOILET.

If you flush your newspaper, banana leaf, blank book page, paper towel, wet wipe, etc. you will cause havoc with our sewer system.  DON'T MAKE A BAD SITUATION WORSE BY BACKING UP THE SEWER.  We still have our infrastructure so far, and things are going to get better, so please do your best to keep things moving. 

Rest assured, the lack of TP is temporary and they are working very hard to get it back in stock.  In the meantime, if you have extra, don't be a capitalist and try to cash in on the lack of supply and high demand by price gouging out of the back of your car in a parking lot like this guy.

Until next time!

Well, this is good practice for being a stay-at-home dog mom at least...

Greetings dear readers!
Here we are, Day 5 of the working from home COVID-19 lockdown.  I know they say you are supposed to still "keep a routine" and do things like "get dressed" and "get up at your normal time" but I have been sleeping in until 8 am and working in my jammies all day and LOVING IT. 

The dog is loving it too as he gets multiple long walks per day as I endeavor to keep as much of a routine as I can.  One thing I do recommend though, for all of you working from home, is that you remember when you fed the dog because if you normally feed him at 5 pm and then you ask him at 6 pm if he's hungry, because you can't remember if you fed him or not, he will ALWAYS say you didn't.

Until next time!

So here we are...

Greetings from up North! So much has changed in the few days since Pink Panda and I thought about resurrecting this blog for the current interesting times.  In the 9 years since we've posted, we have moved workplaces but are still Librarians- Pink Panda in the public school administration sector and yours truly in the public library arena.  Currently we are both out of the workplace for at least the next three weeks due to the official recommendations to limit large gatherings and practice social distancing.

I must admit, while we totally called it when we started this blog oh so long ago, I really hoped it wouldn't come to this. Granted, there have been many times throughout history that our societies have faced pandemics, but I guess I was overly optimistic when I thought medical and hygenic advances would be enough to prevent the spread of contagious disease on the scale we are seeing now.

At this point we are in it, people. There is no more "abundance of caution." Now we need to be acting with an abundance of concern. Stay home if you can, cover your cough and wash your hands. I applaud all the libraries that have made the decision to close because this is not business as usual and libraries are perfect environments for spreading contagion.  Yes, one of the biggest drinking days is coming up but do you *really* need to be drinking green beer within inches of people who could be carrying COVID-19?

If you are finding yourself bored, check to see if your local library has the option to use digital resources. Pink Panda and I previously wrote about ebooks back when they were relatively new and now they are quite popular. Even if you don't have a library card yet, your local library may have the ability to remotely register you during this time. I would recommend emailing them to see if you have any options. 

If your library isn't an option, Audible is an audiobook app that costs $14.95/month but lets you have two free books to try it out.

Here is a link to an article about where you can get free ebooks: https://mashable.com/article/free-ebooks/ 

Since Pink Panda's mini-me's are of school age now, she likely has some good resources for keeping the kiddos entertained while schools are closed for an extended period. We will eagerly await her contribution and try not to stress-eat all our quarantine snacks in one go. 😊

Until next time!

Weeeeeeeeee're baaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

Greetings loyal readers!
As you can see, the world didn't end in 2012 as expected yet we seem to be facing another crisis that goes by Corona. No, not the delicious cerveza but a new virus with flu-like symptoms that could pose problems for the elderly or those with compromised immune systems.

Pink Panda and I are now no longer "new professionals" so we have even more reliable sources and funny comments! Follow along for all your preparedness needs!

Talk to you soon!
Happy Yellow Jeep Girl

T-minus less than one year!

Greetings dear readers! Happy Yellow Jeep Girl coming to you from the tiny fortified mountain town of Buena Vista. As you may have noticed, yesterday marked the one year anniversary until the end of the world as we know it. If you have not yet begun to make final preparations for your bomb shelter, now is the time to get a move on. If you will be bringing children into your bomb selter, as many of our friends will be doing, I recommend stocking up on breast milk because you never know what sort of contaminants may be released into the environment and thus absorbed into our bodies.

On a happy note, congratulations to all our bomb shelter friends who will be bringing the next generation intothe new world as we know it and we look forward to meeting your little bundles of joy in June.

Tim Tebow: Harbinger of the End of the World?

Howdy, loyal blog followers! Happy Yellow Jeep Girl here with all the latest news you can use for the end of the world count down! I hope you all are making the final adjustments to your bomb shelters as we are thisclose to the 365 day count down.

As many of you may have heard and or seen, the Denver Broncos football team has a new quarterback: Beloved of Jesus TIM Tebow. For the past week, Beloved of Jesus Tim Tebow, or Tebow for short, has been winning games in the very last possible moments with the closest possible scores allowed in football. After all of his wins, Tebow then drops to one knee and offers prayers of gratitude to the Christian god. Lately, I have been noticing on my friends' Facebook walls that the near-misses have been causing then chest pain and stress. This is a very interesting phenomenon, and one that I think we should all be wary of, as I will explain.

The bible states that at the end of the world, the faithful will be taken up to heaven and the rest of the not as faithful will be left down here to duke it out with Satan and his hoards of demons. Similarly, the World Health Organization states that too much stress can induce heart attacks. Ergo, Beloved of Jesus Tim Tebow's come from behind last minute wins are not the result of "good" football playing and strategy but rather have been designed by Jesus to speed the process of getting the faithful into heaven.

Now, you may ask if I am insinuating that only Denver Bronco fans are worthy of eternal salvation, and the short answer is yes. Few teams fans have suffered more than we have and the bible says those that are last on earth will be first in the kingdom of heaven. Furthermore, in the final book of the Maze Runner trilogy The Death Cure by James Dashner features Denver as the promised land for the people escaping from the bad guys. Most importantly, the Rocky Mountain region is where the capital is located in the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. If.Denver were not the chosen city, then why all these "coincidences"??

In conclusion, dear readers, be glad that you live in Colorado and if you don't, get here as fast as you can because we don't have much time to waste.

Interesting take on 2012 from public television and Peace Jam

http://www.2012thetruemayanprophecy.com/

Greetings, loyal followers! Happy Yellow Jeep Girl here to let you know about a very interesting documentary I just watched on public television. It was produced by Peace Jam and the moral of the movie is that 2012 is not going to be the Armageddon/End of the World as we Know it that Hollywood would have us to believe but rather is going to be he beginning of a new era that has more of a gender duality to it, rather than the male-centered era we are in now. This documentary also featured numerous Nobel Laureates and scientists, and librarians always like to have reliable sources, and sources don't get much more reliable than the Dalai Lama.

I encourage all of you, dear readers, to view this documentary for yourselves. I am very intrigued by the idea that the world is not going to end in 2012, but I am going to keep my bomb shelter stocked just in case.
