A bar of Hand soap? anyone?

 Photo of the day:

 


So for today:

Thank the Lord as far as I know I have no medical issues except my hearing. I can hear, mostly one on one, but background noise still eats at my nerves.  Most likely, if you wear hearing aids, you probably know what I am talking about.  I have lived with the saying for years from my sons, ‘Dad hears what he wants to hear!’  I hate to admit it, but I guess in reality that is a fair statement. Meaning, I can ensure I heard correctly by repeating it to the speaker.  I just do not think Of it at the time.

I am sorta dogmatic in my approach to health.  Since I have no med issues, I figure if I eat well with reasonable portions, I will remain healthy.  I do not take supplements to boost any particular facet of my body. Sherry gives me ONE pill, a one a day vitamin (for seniors). I am sarcastic I know, but what is the big deal about senior vitamins NOT just old simple, ‘ONE-A-DAY VITAMIN, that I have heard of all my life;

One thing most folks know about me, I DO not give medical advice because my doctor once said to me after I dropped my Cholesterol pill he had prescribed., “YOU ARE NO DOCTA!!  Most of the time he likes to see me because he can just visit and he works on his other patients on the computer as me talk, methinks.  But he did agree with me about the pill I stopped and said keep eating that oatmeal you seem to be doing swell w/o the meds.

In my childhood I looked forward to hog killing time. LOL I grew up with Grandmas lye soap, remember that?

Lyrics for Grandma’s Lye soap, will be tomorrows blog…

However I do give those advertisers credit for boosting the sale of supplements even  in the bathing products area, DO NOT USE SOAP but  keep that old body YOUNG (HA) with this-------, methinks I am probably the only person who still buys Dial and uses hand soap. 

Take care and have a good evening….

You are on no pills? That is wonderful Jack. Keep doing what you are doing. Did you know Dial is the only antibacterial soap on the market - when you go in for surgery you are supposed to wash
with it all over!

I remember some of those soaps you feature here. Do you remember carbolic soap? Or Sunlight soap? I wonder ... who invented soap? In the olden days we used to find a photo of a movie star inside the soap packet. We collected quite a few. I remember photos of Ava Gardner and Johnny Weissmuller. I wonder where they are now ... the photos. We also had a Pears Encyclopaedia - it was sponsored by the soap company.

God bless.

I haven't used a bar of soap in years, I use liquid soap washing my hands and body wash in the shower. I remember my mom saying my grandmother had only lye soap for them to use when she was growing up. It washed everything including clothes.
