Anyone that had 3 of 4 wives with the almost same name didn't give fuck. I guess it makes keeping track of the names easier.

Ah probably was not too uncommon for people in my age range I was , in fact, dating multiple girls named Heather at the same time at one point.

I think this year marks when I reach a new pinnacle of old guy...

I'm about to do a day of landscaping at my house, and it's going to be warm, so I'm wearing shorts...

... along with black compression socks that go to the tops of my calves.

The only step past this is to wear this with sandals.

been doing a lot of spring cleaning, tossing crap not used in years. going through medicine cabinet and boxes of lotions, creams and other junk. a lot of it expired over 10 years ago. a few things surprised me.

Does that shit go bad? I'm guessing maybe the Petrolatum might, if it is in any way related to actual petrol. Like, I'd imagine petroleum jelly (Vaseline) breaks down after a certain period of time, but that's just a guess too.

Expiration dates on first aid items are bigger bullshit than expirations on medicines. It's all a fucking cash grab.

most of the ointments that were 10+ years old were pretty firm and turned a dark color. the creams that were in tubes had swelled up like balloons with the cream like a dry paste. some of the lotions had separated. did keep many of the anti-itch/poison ivy products that still looked okay. figured the worse could happen with them, is still have an itch. think eye stuff is only thing i wouldn't use much passed the expiration date.

So you have dehydrated lotions. You just need to add a little water and work it back and forth a few times.

My left foot started swelling on Sunday, by last night I was in screaming pain and couldn't walk. Hobbled to the doc-in-a-box this morning. Gout :(

I agree in general, but I was just wondering if something with petro in the name would go bad just like gas will after a couple of years.
