Ahhh it vouldnt hurt” When I was in pharmacy school they told us of an old time remedy for a cold. Go home, stop on the way and buy some whisky. Get home, hang your hat on the bedpost, drink whisky until you see two hats, and go to bed. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Adams was angry! The parents of a baby that he was treating gave the baby some of this stuff and it turns out it had opium in it. Not illegal but dangerous if you took too much. The baby almost died. Another 80 yr old patient of Doc's took some and it made him feel so good he got up from his bedrest (which Doc prescribed) and started working in the field and had a heart attack and died. Matt finally convinced the doctor to scram out of town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 yes sir - you are right about that , they have held office till they became so entitled that they thought they were above all of us , i was trying to keep a civil tone about what i really was thinking , trying to be MN nice if you will , but YES , they are in office on the one end of our society and robbing our houses and carjacking us on the other end , the top feeds the bottom , as i see it , adjusting our laws to suite themselves , we that live within their restrictions get punished every time by those in power on top there is an offence by those on the bottom ...........neither of those folks ever loose their rights or freedom or anything else , we loose ours and our family members and it NEVER CHANGES no matter what the promise , at 73 i do know what has been promised and what we have lost , they get rich , we get crime , the criminals get whatever they want and get to walk away , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
