Even worse. Doctors used to use antibiotics (that sometimes cured bacteria-caused illnesses) to try to cure virus-caused illnesses. The dog may be ahead of his time.
In those days when antibiotics were too new to have been overused, and seemed miraculous, there were very few problems with that approach.
Yes, you could treat for bacteria, and maybe miss viruses, but there was no cure for viruses anyway, and there were no antibiotic resistant bacteria yet.
It did help create those, but it took a while. When they came along, it became necessary to stop throwing around antibiotics and antibacterial medications.
At this point it was still more of a waste than a medical problem.
I think if I were the M.D. in this scenario, I would 1) want the dog taken off the bed at a minimum, preferably in another room, and 2) tell the lady to “put the lime in the coconut and [have him] drink it all up.”
This is actually a house in the village of Monsanto, in Portugal, that had not, as I’d assumed, been nearly destroyed by a giant boulder, like a farm we saw in another image months(?) ago.
No, Monsanto was built in and around, and out of, rocks and boulders, from pebbles to giant stones, that were already present!
This house has stone walls, made from local stone, and was purposely built underneath that huge boulder, which serves as part of the roof.
I’d say it requires a lot of faith to live in it, or really, anywhere in the village, and assume that there will never be an earthquake, and everything will just stay put.
But apparently it’s been working since Medieval times.
Wow. Double wow. That’s a big-assed [horde of locusts] surrounding the people in that one tent. The guy in the other tent looks calm, like he thinks he has control of the situation, but even the dog looks concerned. I bet he’s sticking to the MIC like they were velcroed.
A momentary slight mystery… I was trying to find out the location, but it was elusive. I did read that this was the line for the first screening of Star Wars…
But it says June 24th on the sign. Star Wars opened on May 25th.
Finally found it… The May 25th date was for a limited release. 33 theaters, all in the US.
A month later it went into full distribution.
This was the opening at the Vogue Theatre, on Theatre Row, in Vancouver, June 24th, 1977.
Washington Avenue looking West from 9th St, St. Louis, Missouri.
Actually you can see “Wash Ave.” and maybe “9th” in white ink, and what looks like the name of the photographer, but that magnifier or search symbol covers it up.
Wait… I found it on yet another site: “Washington Avenue west from Ninth Street. Photograph by Emil Boehl, ca. 1903.”
I guess the white ink says “F (meaning from) 9 W”.
Well, as I am a 6’2″ blonde 35 year old body builder, no, it’s not me. That’s the short old balding dude who lives in my mirror and mocks me every morning.

Vaccination? Are you making a political comment, Nighthawks?

In some cases bacterial pneumonia can take advantage of a virus-ravaged person; the antibiotics are effective against that.
They used to do the same for my then-chronic bronchitis….
Antibiotics “just in case” it wasn’t completely viral.
Then they stopped using antibiotics, and discovered that it was completely bacterial all along, cos it would go on for weeks instead of days…
But they still refused to give me antibiotics.
It slowly disappeared…. no idea what approach was right, but somehow I haven’t had it in 15 or 20 years.
who?me?

Why is there a bottle that looks like gin on the floor?
Am I missing something? It wouldn’t be the first time.
Maybe the kid’s name is Rocky Raccoon…

The Hollywood Stars Tour?
That would make perfect sense.
Yes!
According to a Lucy fan site on Instagram, this was an episode called “The Tour”, from May 30, 1955.
“(Benny) Rubin played the driver of the tour bus that takes Lucy and Ethel to the home of Richard Widmark – then leaves them there!”
I remember the Hollywood story arc. Especially Lucy having to give John Wayne a massage…

Architecture by F. Flintstone…
I was going to say not architect but renovation specialist…
Until I searched the image, and found out you might be right.
Yes, sir, I can see that your roof is broken, and I think I see why.
This is actually a house in the village of Monsanto, in Portugal, that had not, as I’d assumed, been nearly destroyed by a giant boulder, like a farm we saw in another image months(?) ago.

It was never that easy when I was collecting bugs!
It’s only easy when you don’t want them.
Law of the universe, I’m afraid.
Black fly?
I was thinking (like Liverlips) maybe locust, but now you’ve got me thinking mosquitoes? (Shudder!)
Wow. Double wow. That’s a big-assed [horde of locusts] surrounding the people in that one tent. The guy in the other tent looks calm, like he thinks he has control of the situation, but even the dog looks concerned. I bet he’s sticking to the MIC like they were velcroed.

I can’t tell — is he hanging ten?
I’d be hanging 20.
I’d be hanging out at the bar down the road. My momma didn’t raise no fool!
I was about to say almost the same.
I’d be hanging more than ten.
.
I’d be hanging out elsewhere.

Which one is you, Steve?
Took it a while to get to the drive-in in the village of Idabel, OK.
I didn’t even recognize theatre row! I think I might have first watched it in the Columbia Theatre in downtown New Westminster
.,.
Who would want to go to that?
🙄 🤩 🤔
$18!!
Wow, what a rip!
I thought it was going to be free!
1903…city?
Definitely.
Certainly not rural.

London, 1941?
All I found was Britain or UK, during WWII.
Most likely London.

Yes I can!
I may and I can!
Got it!
Of course I had to start looking as far away as possible… Now I’m dizzy!
Same here! 😀

The fish saw him coming. Amazing video.

Forget the kids – get the chickin’!

Not much need for a spoiler box when it’s all right there in the photo…
But in case you can’t make some of it out…
This is Dean Martin, in a wardrobe check for the 1958 film, “The Young Lions”.
The model…
Great picture!
Kitty wants the mjölk.
Ok, she wants the cheese… but I like that this keyboard will let me type “mjölk” 🙂
And then Google will tell me that’s Swedish for “milk”.
30-ish years and a bit on (for me), the Internet still amazes me.
Our Swedish friend had a good laugh when I sent him that picture yesterday.
“Oh; it’s Swedish!”
First ever AT-6/SNJ Race at Roswell.
So the flying saucers never showed up?
They’re all over main street. It’s a really cute town.
They turned this one into a McDonalds:
Is that you?
(You don’t have to say if you don’t want to.)
Well, as I am a 6’2″ blonde 35 year old body builder, no, it’s not me. That’s the short old balding dude who lives in my mirror and mocks me every morning.
Hey! There’s somebody like that in my mirror too!
I know I’m a tall slender princess with long auburn rope curls… but this woman is shorter, silver-haired and a bit round.
Where do these aliens come from?
