* NEW RULE *

Today I went into a conventional grocery store with a three-item list. I knew the location of one item, but I had to hunt for the other two, and it did not go well, even though I was wearing my respirator and it had new filters. Today's experience has resulted in the creation of a new rule:

If I am to enter any large store known to carry toxic products, I must already know the location of everything on my list.

Penalty for violation: living up to the crazy-MCS-person stereotype at the cash register, except I did manage to use the words 'getting really sick.'
