the thread asked " are you stocking up on STAPLES "
the comment was made on " I use 'paper clips'.. ' - referring to staples as office products.. get it.. it was a humor intended comment..
I must say, that the metal staples came to mind when I first read this, as well. I wonder where you keep your freezers etc. when you fill them with staples. It has been my experience with all the flooding that we have, that the electricity is the first to go - so you need a back - up generator and then everything gets washed away or inundated with mud when the flooding occurs - so it is all ruined anyway, So, no point in stocking up - best to just get out of there and save life.
