DH laughs at me when I have a pot of tea under the tea cozy (a must-have!) while I'm knitting. He calls me Granny. :(

He thinks it's tea. He doesn't know it's Granny's Rumatiz Medicine.

So that's why Ann always has that funny smirk on her face! I just thought it was indigestion! Especially with two days of eating pizza at NC! I tried tipping a server once. I think I hurt him!

Is that like cow tipping? Or did you try to trip him instead?

And Granny had laudenum to right? Or was that Gunsmoke? Man...we just call it morphine, moonshine, metamusil or something like that!

Not such a good idea, actually.

(Thanks to the good folks over at The Straight Dope.)
 
YEP like Cow Tipping - hey I grew up on a farm so... I just pushed a little to hard! OOPS! Rheumatis medicine for rheumatism is what Granny claimed to have and I assumed that meant arthritis.

Well, rheumatism and arthritis are similar but different. Rheumatism is an autoimmune problem while arthritis is joint deterioration, at least, that's how they were always described to me. For the person suffering, though, that's like saying the difference between a gunshot and a stab wound is that the gunshot wound happened faster. Let's face it, what hurts, hurts.And you're probably right, John, Granny's rheumatiz might very well have been arthritis. STILL

I don't remember, did she brew her own in Beverly Hills or did she import it from back home?
 
She occasionally rigged up a still out by the cement pond.
 
I loved both the tea and coffee and still have a tin and bag. I will have to make it now.
 
Sharisse be careful of the coffee! Most of us who have had them until now have found that they have sort of gone bad. Turns yucky have so many years of sitting!
 
Thanks John! I will beware of that!
