I wonder if they're still alive?

I remember having paregoric (tinture of opium) for ailments as a child. Made you sleep well. I don't even know if it's made now. We also had a doctor that came to the house and only charged $3.00.

Al,
It's manufacture has beed discontinued. Now considered a class II narcotic. A compounding pharmacy could make it, but you'll need a prescription from a doctor. Good luck with that, as the attitude is that the DEA is hiding behind every tree.

looked it up...

Boy, I wish I was a member of the "Lard Information Council" - I bet those are some exciting board meetings!

"Come on folks, let's get people excited about lard!"

Continuing the theme, I wonder how long these men lived?

Happier, simpler times! What is the saying? Ignorance is bliss??

I am ignorant, but struggling to locate the bliss!

I resemble that.... Simpler times would be a most welcomed blessing....

I bet they all lived happily and turned into grumpy old white guys.
Keith those guys had the right attitude towards women, of course she would love
A Hoover for Christmas. My wife played in a golf tournament sponsored by Panasonic, the men were awarded colour T.V.s radios, etc and Di got a steam iron! She was ecstatic, her acceptance speech was colourful to say the least.
Anyway I blame it on the kiwis, they were the first to give women the vote:laugh:

The younger generation seem to be revolting. I sent this to my favourite future daughter in law and got this reply.

"I think for Christmas if woman received no actual presents but just had their men use the Hoover abit more they would be happier "

Yeah right!!! I can imagine Christmas morning "OK love this year this year I decided not to buy you a present I am going to use the Hoover a bit more to make you happier"

I can also imagine Christmas afternoon with many men attending the local hospital casualty department, for a Hoover extraction

Although a few years ago I did buy some car mats for my wife's Riley Elf, for her Christmas present and she loved them. :thumbsup:

 

[Keith]

Gosh! You're a very brave man Nick.....

Watch your back from now on mate.... :shifty:

 

[Jack]

Gosh, last year I bought my spouse a new carburetor for HER lawn mower!
Got myself a camshaft for an engine I was putting together. Great Christmas for all!

I got my wife a Roomba for Christmas a few years ago.....the modern equivalent to a Hoover in the old days. She wasn't thrilled.
