I had something similar happen , I carry an antique calculator around it is called a slide rule , it is just a small 6 inch one , and one day I was in the store using it to calculator the price per unit with it and this teenager asked me what it was and I told him it was what was used before electronic calculators and he replied wow that old

we got our tv the summer of 53 but our neighbors had one my first ball game the NYY won 1-0 in 16 innings

You should have tried something simple like teach him to use the "C and D" scale to divide. It would have scared the heeby jeebies out of him.
Oh yes, those were the days.

Nice country, but I gotta tell you the hottest place I have ever been (and that includes the Florida Swamps) is the east coast of North Carolina.
I am thinking of Tabor City in particular..... a bit west of Wilmington and too far inland for the ocean breezes. God that town is as close to Hell as you can get in the summertime. At least it was the couple of times I was there.

Was down your way many times before going north. Loved Fort Myers, Stump Pass Beach (is it still there?) Edison's home, there used to be a little town called Cape Coral(?) sorta south and west of Ft. Myers if memory serves. Not familiar with 75. We used the Tamiami Trail (US 41). The only highway down yonder way at the time. It went on thru the Everglades to Miami. (Guess that's why they called it the Tamiami Trail, you reckon?) :lol: I had previously written three rather long paragraphs, but hit the 'delete' key instead of the 'send' key. Too disgusted with myself to recapture what I had previously written. Probably best I did. Others on this thread would have been bored anyway. I should have PM'd you. Next time I will.

We'll all be looking forward to your recollections, Salty. I hope to see some fancy foreign lingo thrown in. I can't imagine your ever being boring.
Just be sure to have a story or two in reserve for any possible future dinner engagement.

not exactly I said that would be a good place to look, only two?
I checked online. If my local health food store does not have it, I can order it. I do not believe it will have the same benefits as brewing from the root; however, something is better then nothing.
"Only two?" I did two doses per day for two days and went to one dose per day. It seems to be effective that way. I can go back to two if the need arises.

True enough, my fair lady.
