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.

Was always chicken soup from my mom...

Ice cube, then 7-up, then a piece of plain toast, in that order.

Do you mind if I ask what you did with the ice cube?

My German grandma would give us teaspoons of Jägermeister for everything from toothache to the flu.
When really sick add in Vicks rubdown from your neck to your stomach and a white undershirt at bedtime.
When I smell either it brings back memories, mostly good I think

Yep, I remember Vicks Vaporub. My mom would also give me an aspirin, and when I was really little she would crush the aspirin in a spoon with some sugar and water, like Mary Poppins: "a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down." lol

Yes, but you wear a uniform and drive a Porsche, so there's that!

Seriously, let us know when you have 5 that aren't gray and you then get promoted to newbie in this prestigious club of actual old guys.

I normally shave everything. It's the ex-physique competitor in me. I only see the 5 grays I do have when I let it grow.

Thanks for sharing. Usually I'd respond with "Photos or it didn't happen" but I think this time we should give you a pass and just believe you.

After telling someone your 1st car had an un-synchronized 1st gear...you're given that look.
