My DGD gives my great grand a teaspoon of coke syrup for colic. Works like a charm. Beats the heck out of chemicals.

This is very true. I hate it when I see commercials with mom, a couple of kids, a dog, and NO dad. I also hate commercials that make men/husbands look stupid, and wives like snarky know-it-alls.

Thank goodness it was before my time. Good riddance.

Interesting. Glad most of those times are gone, at least in most of the US. I am sure there are some women out there (not on out quiltboard, of course) who think some of this is par for the course. LOL

Amen!

And yet, black GI's came back from WW2 and still had to sit in the back of the bus and could not vote, in some states. And Japanese-American citizens came back from internment camps, where they had been sent with no due process, to find their homes, farms, and businesses belonged to someone else now.

I for one am glad those days are in the past.
