America....

It's always something...lol..Hi Jen!😉 Q
 
Hi Q,
I have missed you. When are you coming up here? I am sure the farm needs tending. LOL 😉 😛 :devil:

Jen
 
The farm..sigh

They sold it over a year ago and screwed about half the family out of their share..lol...speaking of "only in America!". It doesn't really bother me from a financial standpoint, but I would have liked a chance to buy everyone else out and keep it in the family somewhere, so I'm a bit pissed off...but nothing compared to a lot of other cousins.... Q
 
Sorry I am from England

But I have never been able to understand what a drug store is, in films it appears to be a place where you buy something to unblock the u bend on your toilet and get a beer at the same time, is this true?

Think APOTHECARY, Big Indian!😀 It is where we Americans go to purchase the Prescription (as opposed to over-the-counter) Medication that is too controlled to buy without first getting it approved by a licensed medical professional. Now, if only we could fix our health insurance system! Insurance is what makes it SO darn expensive! 😡

Red, a 1943 magazine I found in my grandmother's attic had this toon:

An American soldier in a British apothecary shop says to the proprietor, "No magazines, no cigarettes, no razor blades... what kind of drugstore IS this, anyway?"

Red I believe they call drug stores Chemist stores in the U.K. I was stationed over there nov87 to nov90 at RAF Lakenheath,so my American-UK translation may be off
