Originally Posted By broken_reticle: Boomers got stitches, Gen X got Bactine and a chance to STFU or have dad scrub it out. View Quote LofuckingL!! Our medicine chest was stocked with bandaids, bactine, and A&D ointment. Bactine was this magical medicine that could heal all wounds. One time, after watching a movie where the bad guy busted the bottom off a bottle and threatened the good guy with it, I thought “self, you should try that!” So next day, down at the neighborhood pond, I picked up a bottle and smashed it against a rock, whereupon it immediately shattered in my hand. I walked a half mile home, blood dripping down my arm. Neighbors driving by stopped and asked if I needed help. “Nah, I live just up the street” Get home, dad’s in his lounger, enjoying a quiet Sunday. “Dad, I cut my hand up on a broken bottle!” “Well, wash it off, get the glass out, and try not to bleed on the carpet” Dad was a doctor. His main treatment was giving injuries a tincture of time. He subscribed to the philosophy that if the kid was crying and wailing, they were probably ok. It’s when they were quiet that he’d get concerned. |

I could have had that meal anywhere in the US. For lunch, we went to a pub which served hamburgers with decent beer. I did have a really nice carvery/pub next to my hotel. That was at least somewhat non-American experience food. Exception being a full English Breakfast, though I can do without the black pudding. I got a big 'ol dollop of what I thought was chocolate pudding at a luau in Maui. The 1st mouthful was . . . memorable. Those who know, know. Yuck! |

Poi? I don't remember it being dark though. I didn't think it was bad. Just flavorless and kinda icky texture. But I also just sampled it, not shoved a spoonful in my mouth expecting something else.

Argentina flag on the outside German flag on the inside. A lot Germans moved to Argentina. Many right after the war including some not nice people.
Still more Italians by population between the wars. Something like 30 percent of the people now are of Italian descent. So I was told when I was there. |
