I have spent most of the day with my head in a box. Some stuff I have set aside, some stuff is getting worked into my house, and some stuff is finally getting thrown away. (The 2 inch lip pencil from 1970 and the petrified sweet and sour packages.)
But I found an old Vicks Vapor Inhaler. You know these.. They look like an elongated bullet, perfect to put in your purse for a hit when you just can't walk around with a stripe of Vicks under your nose. Mom and I had a secret addition to Vicks, especially the Vicks Inhaler. Not that we didn't love all forms of Vicks: Vicks in the vaporizer, Shower Vicks, Lotion Vicks, Plug in Vicks and the new Vicks Patch, but the Inhaler was our delivery method of choice. [Dr: How did you get this new nose crud fungus virus bacterial infection? I have never seen anything quite like it. I am quite astounded. It defies all explanation. I will need to call the CDC and you will need to be put in strict isolation. Do you have any idea of how you contracted this dreaded nose junk? Me: My Mom and I were doing Vick Inhaler shots. ]
No matter how gross and twisted this may seem, this was one of my better finds in Mom's stuff.
