Dear Friends:
Yesterday we went to do our thrice-weekly food shopping (The "Mrs. Herself" has this thing about getting fresh food!) and low-and-behold, most of the shelves were half-empty, (or completely) and the entire toilet paper section was bare-bones down the entire aisle.
Now we really needed toilet paper because..... we're not hoarding it...... we just plain ran out!
SO, I was perplexed about the reason for "hoarding" since toilet paper should be about the last thing you stock up on...... after stuff like food....... or gas for the car...... or anything else that's more important than TOILET PAPER!
It was later in the day when I heard a psychologist on CNN explain that hoarding is a result of doing something about things you normally have no control over... so you don't feel completely helpless.
But why toilet paper, I asked myself?
Well......, it's because most people are anal-retentive!!!!
The way I see it anyway!
