When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

Billy Bob and Luther were talking one afternoon when Billy Bob tells Luther, "After all of this COVID stuff, I reckon I'm 'bout ready for a vacation. Only this year I'm gonna do it different. The last few years, I took your advice about where to go.

"Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant.

"Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas, and Earlene got pregnant again.

"Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn't get pregnant again."

Luther asks Billy Bob, "So, what you gonna do this year that's different?"

"This year I'm taking Earlene with me."

Do they still make this stuff? LOL

I’d have to say no, I don’t remember having this with my kids, but sure was around when I was a kid

Side note
Remember this did the same as iodine
Iodine was torcherous
The disinfectant of choice if you pissed your mom off that day :)

Boy do I remember that stuff! Between that and Raleigh's Ointment (a greasy, petroleum-type of salve that was sold locally) -- we were indestructible!

When I was about six years old my brother kept a cat. It was a feral cat he rescued from some boys who were throwing rocks at it. So it lived with us, but still had it's feral instincts. The cat is legendary in our family lore.

Anyway one time the cat developed a festering sore near her anus. My parents were mercurochrome parents, so my dad dabbed a swab with mercurochrome and applied it to the sore. In full feral fury the cat wheeled and struck, opening a 4- or 5-inch long gash down the back of my fathers wrist and hand.

And don't forget that nasty BenGay they'd smear on your chest when you had a cold. I hated that stuff. :oops:

Vicks Vaporub was the decongestant goo of choice in our household.

In my house the first aid kit was fully stocked if it had mercurochrome, Vicks Vaporub, some bandages. a bottle of aspirin, and some cough syrup. If you had those, you were ready to take on the world.

For us it was the Vicks Vapo-rub. True, I didn't like it as a kid -- but I must admit some nostalgia to remembering how it smelled (I think it smelled a bit better than BenGay).

Castor Oil was before my time -- although I heard plenty of stories about having to take a spoonful of it (along with walking to school barefoot in the snow uphill -- both to and from)!
