Codeine??? Really? I remember Vicks 44 cough drops, but I was born in 1960. Don't ever remember them with codeine. You bought those without an RX? OMG!

They used paregoric for teething when we were kids. YES, it was opium.

i remember...
When you had to go to the county fair and pay admission to see Monster Trucks.
When no one had tattoos or piercings,
When every time I pulled out with my bike, I had to wait for a car. Nowadays, every time I pull out with my bike, I have to wait for a car.
Older kids were getting a dollar an hour working at McDs
