"The doorstop" is what we called them at the dealership where I wrenched on them. The 1975-76 cars were pretty fragile but they beefed up the drivetrain substantially in 1977 and put a stronger 5-speed gearbox in place of 4-speed. I was never fond of the looks but they were fun to toss around.

I'd love to find a survivor, but like everything British Leyland made in the 1970's they are now only crumbs of rust in a dust pan.....

You remember being given Castor Oil for stomachaches, or at other times whether it was need or not.🤢

17 minutes of colorized footage of 1896. Several cities during the "Belle Époque".
128 years ago, so all the pictured people have perished in the meantime. 5 minutes of colorized footage of New York in 1945:

Or when you wake up in the morning and see you still have a half hour to snooze before the alarm, but...you have to pee.

...or when you're taking massive quantities of diuretics (aka: vitamin pee), and don't even make it back to the bed before you have to turn around for another drivers' lounge visit.....

You can’t: drive 3 hours with 7000’ elevation change without the ortho sending you to ER to check for blood clot
Negative, but wife says this is a soccer career ending injury

Years ago my doctor prescribed a low-dose aspirin regimen. Had to stop taking it. Made me bleed from my stomach and cough up blood.
Took weeks to find out why I was bleeding. Then someone asked are you taking aspirin? I said yes. They said stop. So I stopped. And the bleeding stopped. |
