Memorable Automobiles from The Past:
Today:
It all
started not long after we were married. I was given a simple task, I
have mentioned it before, but here it is again. You will remember L’eggs. Well
my girl asked be to simply pick up a pair for her and quickly told me the name
or description.
I did
not write it down, after all I am a very smart guy. LOL Just knowing by
glancing at the size and name it would ring a bell. YEAH RIGHT! There are 1000 combinations
of names, colors, sizes, types etc. So NO I did not get the stockings for her.
SO here it is Covid time. I do the
shopping, with a list. Ever shop vitamins, supplements and aspirin type things?
Most of us
men have not.
There
is no rhyme nor reason in the display rack. It is not alphabetical nor numeric. I thought when I spotted fish
oil that Cod liver oil would be next to it, HAHA! Hey, there is Vitamin C! But then there is Vitamin C with zinc, There
is vitamin C with xx zz ww (whatever). It even gets worse.
This is a small display!!!
A couple days ago I had to laugh out
loud as an old man (like me) looking up and down at the vitamins and shaking
his head. Even with a mask on I could tell he was gritting his teeth. (ME) Laughing
I tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Hey Brother, I feel your pain!”
I couldn't find a picture of the rack I look thru on the net, these look small!
He just
continued to shake his head; but I know he was smiling when he said, “This is
stupid, a bunch of crap!” I said, “That is why I settle for multi-vitamin, and
even then I am not sure if it is the right one, there are at least 10 versions of
that.”
Sherry
has been good to me lately and writes down the exact name of each item. That
helps but most of it is hard to explain.
Anyway I don’t mind grocery
shopping, but shopping for things that ladies pick, I am LOST!
When I look
at all those supplements and vitamins I can’t believe people take ten to twenty
of these things a day; but I know they do.
I don’t
question it I just know my girl knows what is best for her. She is still pretty and healthy. I NEVER question or suggest meds, supplements
or vitamins to anyone. Personally my only med is a multi-vitamin. Not sure it
helps, but it cannot hurt!

Don't feel bad, Jack ... I recently felt the same way and had to ask the stocker for help to find the Zinc. (She just grinned and admitted, "The only reason I know is, I unpacked the box a little while ago. It's flying off the shelves.")
Unlike Sherry, I've never been good at preventive self care. Some of these pills are so big I'm afraid they're going to get stuck going down. Hope there's still time to get with the program. Like you said, "It can't hurt!"
Shopping isn't easy easy for those of us that are used to doing it. I too take a multi vitamin, like you say it can't hurt. I figure if I'm not eating what I need, it will fill in on what my body needs. You ARE SO GOOD TO DO THE SHOPPING AND I'M SURE SHERRY MAKES SURE YOU GET WHAT SHE NEEEDS. YOU MAKE A GOOD COUPLE FOR SURE !
We dont take medicine. We take Vitamins. I take 4 each morning. Multi vitamins made me sick in the past so I avoid them right now. I find it interesting while looking through a vitamin store. There are so many different kinds of vitamins. I just stick to the basics of the alphabet and take B12, C & D.
Have a good day!
