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! "Kreisleriana" drtmuiratearthlink.net wrote in message ...

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. |

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! Joyce |

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! -- Britta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow. Check out pictures of Vino at:http://picasaweb.google.com/badwilson 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.
