Popping some ibuprofen today, I said aloud “I’d really hate to live in a world without ibuprofen.”
And without blinking or looking up from her phone where she’s watching netflix, my 60 year old co worker says “Before that you could buy syrup with cocaine and heroin and get some morphine at the drugstore. My granny used to swear up down and sideways that those were the best things for cramps or headaches she ever used.”
