Tiger Balm

yeah and as my son would say you all walked three miles to school in the
snow, uphill both ways. They just can't imagine anything but jumping a car
to go two blocks to buy a sida. Makeing a list for once a week shopping
would tramatize so many. Sorry, just had to add my two cents, ooppss would
be a dollar by now!

The last time I bought a small bottle of Vick's it cost $10.00. It
used
to be ten or fifteen cents. MLB

Yeah, and bread used to be ten cents a loaf, meat fifty cents a pound!
(I think we betray our age!)


Don't forget.....it used to cost 10 bucks to spay a cat.

And my starting salary, when I left school, was $180 a MONTH! (All my
friends considered me fortunate - most of them started at only $160.)
Like they say, everything is relative.

My parents paid $75 a month for the apartment we lived in when I was born.
I think the placegoes for a couple thousand now.

Ha. The way things have been going, we can tell our kids, "When I was
young, we rode a bus to school, and it had heat, and we had hot lunches
every day, and everyone had books and pencils and paper, and we had music
and art and phys ed classes..." and they will be amazed. (OK, the buses
didn't have heat - poetic license.)

I think the next generation will be the one to tell us that *they* are
walking uphill both ways in the snow. And don't forget barefoot!

I applied some Tiger balm not then knowing of its medicinal properties

longer after this!) BF that the scent had aphrodisiac properties when applied
to certain parts of the male anatomy

I leave the rest to your imagination

The thought brings tears to my eyes, and there was me thinking in your
previous post you were talking about certain parts of the female anatomy.

I see. That would be OK then, eh? :P

Sorry I have participated so little lately. Life's been insane lately
and on top of it all I've been sick. So purrs for everyone who needs
them!
I started out having the flu and now it's progressed to an annoying
cough. Last night I decided to try that supposedly sure-fire night-time
cough remedy where you put a thick layer of Vick's Vapo Rub on the soles
of your feet at bedtime. Unfortunately I didn't have any Vick's, but I
did have Tiger Balm. I figured it must be close to the same thing so I
tried it.
I got on the bed and oped the jar of Tiger Balm. Vino jumped up on the
bed and approached me. I held out the jar for him to sniff and it was
like he hit an invisible force field that prevented him from getting any
closer. It was so funny the way he instantly stopped dead in his tracks
and jerked his head back a bit. And this from a distance of probably a
foot from the jar!
Anyway, I coated the soles of my feet and put some socks on. Then I
went to bed. I was lying in bed reading when suddenly Vino jumped up
and attacked my feet under the doona! Wow, I thought, he's sure playful
tonight, he hasn't done "bedmice" for ages! But it just went on, and
on, and on! He was burrowing my thick winter doona like crazy, trying
to dig through to my feet. I finally realized that it was the (by now
much fainter) smell of the Tiger Balm that was driving him crazy. It
got to the point where I had to push him away a couple of times, I was
afraid for my doona cover. But he just kept returning, glazed look in
his eyes, purring non-stop. Finally he must have had his fill and he
sacked out in a catnip-high type trance and went to sleep.
As for the cough remedy, I didn't cough all night and had a great sleep,
so it must have worked. I will try it again tonight. We'll see if Vino
has the same reaction again!

Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness
overflow.

Britta,
I'm sorry you're not feeling well, I hope by now you're feeling a
little better. Purrs and gentle headbutts on the way to you. Special
chin scritches to Vino who says he's only trying to make you feel
better and if you think the route to feeling better is through your
feet then he'll rub your feet.

Well, if things went well that evening, some of it most likely *did*
get applied to parts of the female anatomy... ouch!

Given the way the world's governments are ignoring global
warming, the "outsourcing" of American jobs, and the rapid
melting away of America's "middle class", you may well be
right, alas!
