I'm glad the Sunday newspaper is larger than the weekly ones. Then I know it is a new week! & a new set of pills.

Jerry, I remember that Wednesdays were pink and Fridays were white. As you may recall, those were the nights you worked late.

In the dark color doesn't really matter, does it??

I have a friend who is a pharmacist who told me once that it used to be that especially men lived til 45 or 50 and died from something. They started giving pills for what would kill you and they would live for 2-3 more years and something else would fail. Another pill and 3-5 years more. By the time they got to 65-70, they were taking 20-30 pills a day and he wasn't sure that was the quality of life he wanted to spend

Not to disparage your friend, but it's actually a great misunderstanding and misuse of statistics. While 300 years ago the AVERAGE life span may have been 45 years - that was because so many infants and children died of infectious diseases. If you lived to adulthood, your chances of living to a ripe old age were only a little less than today - I mean, look at George Washington, Ben Franklin, etc.

You've probably noticed that most retired people take daily medication of some kind, myself included. If I didn't have these pills to take every day, I wouldn't know what day it was. I reach for my pill box and say, "Wow, it's Thursday already!"

Sounds like you are on one a day Cialis. :-D

Story time (true) again: I was explaining to an elderly patient that his Viagra was going to cost him about $18 a pill. "Well", he mused, "that's cheaper than dinner and a movie".

I looked him in the eye and answered: "What the HELL makes you think you are getting out of dinner and a movie"?

Re Prairie's comment about changing underwear in Vietnam, I recall when the sergeant called us together one day and announced we'd be changing underwear that day. After all the surprised smiles began to die down; he then went on to say something like, "Jones, you change with Jackson; Smitty, you change with Rusty, . . . "

ok, now that is funny!!! :lol: :lol:
