You know you’re old when…..you text your wife at noon “hey bunnies bunnies, wanna go out to a nice dinner date tonight and get some good food and maybe some wine?”

You get home from work, shower and put on sweatpants and the TV and done at 730 never to move from the couch until 10pm

If it wasn't that it was BFI powder.

M_Six · 02-05-2022, 07:19 PM

It was always iodine for us. Burned like acid.

translux · 02-10-2022, 10:23 AM

I have so many stories to tell from the misadventures with my dad I should write a book.
Seeing the antiseptic reminds me of the time I helped tar the driveway.
On finishing I was covered up to my elbows.
Since soap and water was out of the question he had me run to the garage to get some paint thinner.
I grabbed the exact tin he had asked for.
I knew something was wrong from the second it touched my skin.
"Dad it feels like my arms are on fire!" "Oh stop it it, may sting a bit but it can't be that bad" as he inspects the tin closer he sees a faded piece of tape with some writing.
"Shit, this is the tin that I put paint stripper in" now it's time for water which is totally useless. " Wait here I'll be back"
He returns with a fresh beer and a bottle of Clorox powder. "This will do the trick"
It sort of worked as the tar was gone but so was a couple layers of skin from my little hands as they were as red as could be and starting to swell.
He stood back and surveyed his brilliance and finished the beer. He could see that the tears were forming as the pain set in so time for some levity.
"Now you can rob a bank and won't get caught because you don't have any fingerprints"
"Ware some of the works gloves for a couple days and don't tell mom"

Continuing on the theme of home remedies ...

I remember having the flu and my dad preparing a cheap bourbon, lemon concoction that would cure me. Needless to say it didn't work but it did help empty my stomach ...

M_Six · 02-11-2022, 01:00 PM

My Mom made us drink tea when we were sick. To this day I still can't drink hot tea without a nagging feeling that I'm not sick, so why am I drinking this.

Esteban · 02-11-2022, 01:52 PM

Was always chicken soup from my mom...
