TIL that fentanyl can come in the form 'LOZENGE ON A HANDLE' and that just makes me think of a heroin lollipop.

When I was a child, we had one of those old fashioned family doctors. Old, grumpy, white haired, and smoked like a chimney. I liked going to see him. Years later I asked my older sister what ever happened to him. She said, He died of lung cancer, and oh by the way, you remember those red lollipops you used to love so much, ... they were laced with Secobarbital. Apparently he hated loud children.
@corlin HOLY MEDICAL DISBARRMENT BATMAN
@rpardee
Well it was the 50’s.
@corlin just like the methadone clinic!
@janallmac @corlin I mean, I *may* have dosed my own kids w/pediatric benadryl once or twice on long car rides, but you know--tryna keep 'em off the pipe while they live w/me... 🤣
@rpardee @corlin
I was a very idealistic young mom and I was appalled (god I was annoying...) when the Dr. gently suggested a little Benadryl on car trips would't actually hurt a child.
For some reason, toddler me and toddler my son SCREAMED bloody murder, I mean, non-stop, purple-in-the-face screaming on car rides.
Odd, because I like road trips now.
Anyway, we didn't go to see relatives for about 10 years.

My moms favorite cold remedy was
Small glass, two shots of bourbon, and the rest coke syrup. Get in bed with all the blankets on, and sweat it out.
@corlin @janallmac @rpardee I still swig Blackberry Brandy when I have a sore throat. 🤷♂️
@corlin
Irish flu cure.
Take two bottles of whiskey to bed.
Place your hat on the left bedpost.
Drink until the hat moves to the right bedpost.
@rpardee
Well you only got one.
And the nurse handed it to you.
When you walked into the office.
Then kept an eye out.
I mean maybe twice a year.
