She also had a phrase "You've got more (fill in the blank) than Carter's got pills!" That one flew over my head too. Sherry |

For those of you too young to remember:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9FGC68YcwM Anna Belle On Tue, 3 Aug 2010 09:53:20 -0700 (PDT), John wrote: You know you are getting old, when you survey all the different medicines you are taking, along with the dietary supplements, and over the counter products, and have them come tumbling out of a storage space when you open the door to access them. This scenario was what prompted the solution that came from my workshop and life is much more organized and placid. The three entities in our house; My wife Lois, Our dog Maggie, and myself, each take an escalating and bewildering number of items which are attempting to stave off the effects of aging. Knowing full well, that the only thing that will truly stave off aging is death, the preferable alternative of various items of a pharmacological nature would seem to be the better choice, if they could just be contained. So down to the workshop and a few days later, the attached picture is what has come to pass. I call it an Apothecary Chest, as was popular in the 18th and 19th century, and used by doctors and other medical practitioners. This is a rather dedicated and therefore smaller and more compact version, but it fits the space within the cabinet that housed all of the various potions and tonics, and whatnots that make up the contents. The dimensions are 12" H x 22" L x 11" D and it is made out of Pine. Bingo! Problem solved. http://picasaweb.google.com/ljtaylor...21250089146402 John |

I used to have a t-shirt with a similar sentiment: "I may grow older, but I REFUSE to grow up." I wore it to threads. Yeah, yeah, go ahead and titter how appropriate - that was the point!
