Whitefang Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Or you need a jacket out in weather you typically always used to go out in just shirtsleeves. I do since I've been on Coumadin therapy( a very aggressive blood thinner). Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of what I wear these days is much like what I wore in the '70's. Shirts and jeans. I never got into the high waisted "baggies" or the double knit polyester Disco garb. And otherwise.... considered "quaint"and laughable now, I still kinda miss my "rain lamp" Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdgm Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Went for an excellent pub lunch today with one of my oldest friends. But there was intrusive rap music playing on the speaker in the corner above our table and - because I'm old and because the waitress was nice (and seemed very young to me) - I asked if we could hear some 'Dad' music. "I'll see what we've got" she said. What we got was 60s reggae.... Probably all they had but a lot better than rap.

It's still used today as a rodenticide. Yeah, Coumadin is a derivative of Dicoumarol (spelling?) which was used as a major rat control poison for many years. However, doctors found that by itself, Coumadin was an excellent anti-coagulant for human blood. My dad died at 96 ( a month short of 97) and he was on Coumadin for over 30 years. It can be a life-saver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang About a year before I retired, the President announced that ties were no longer required for the executives, (except when dealing with customers in person). I told him I would not change my dress code, and continued to wear a tie in the office until the day I retired.
