Glenn Beck needs to add the 'stock up on TP' to his list of things he tells folks to stock up on. Having gone hungry because of my ex's mismanagment of his Army paycheck (in the 60's) we had to go hungry for several days on more than one occasion. I vowed never again. And I make sure my cupboards are well stocked with staples and long term store items, and rotate them every week.
