You Know You Are Old When

I don't remember being sick but that he was going to give me a shot for something.
When I saw him preparing the needle and the size of it I took off.:eek: I remember them trying to corner me.
I was small enough to run under tables etc.
Funny thing is I don't remember if I got that shot or not. Must have but...?
I remember wandering around the pediatrician's office around age 3 or 4, while the doc was giving my younger brother a check-up. I remember it very clearly because, after wandering into an adjacent exam room, a nurse came in and gave me a shot in my rear! I was so upset, thinking I accidentally got someone else's shot, whoever was supposed to be in that room, since I wasn't supposed to be there. :ROFLMAO:

Now I know that it was probably a shot I was due, and the nurse was just sent to find me and administer it. But for at least a year back then, I swore I unfairly got someone else's shot.

Smoking doctors. WTH were they thinking :LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Vicks and Mercurochrome can cure anything.
Lots of Vicks vapor rub, when I was a kid. That and Robitussin were mom's go-to choices.

I was probably in my 30's before I ever tried NyQuil for a bad cold or flu. If your stomach can take the syrup, it's a great way to sleep off a cold! Damn stuff will knock you out for 3-4 hours after each dose. :ROFLMAO:

Military C rations came with cigarettes 5 to a pack.
After the war, the big one WW2, my parents where in displaced persons camps.
They looked forward to Red Cross packages from the USA.
1 LB of Hersey's chocolate.
1 LB coffee.
1 cartoon of Marlboro cigarettes.
Each was used as currency on the black market and according to the old man was good for the attentions of a Arian woman for a weekend.
He was amused by the number of black babies 9-10 months after the war.
During the war both participants would have been shot without question.

I was older than that. You're right it knocks you out, gives you weird dreams too.
