- Go to Remember ads for Doan's Pills?
Take a couple of Doan's Pills Pat, you will be jumping all over the place. It sounds like you are getting a touch of the Autumn Blues. Or perhaps you have had to keep going at top gear this last few weeks, what with the renovations and your other commitments. Time to recharge the batteries and pamper yourself a little.

I'm learning not to stress myself out
over things I "have to" do. When you think about it, few things fall into that category

It is interesting to read of commercials from back in the day...As a big fan of trash trucks, I am jealous.

Re: Nautikos... "little extra bed rest"
Hah! What I've done is mix up a nutri-blast and make myself go to a boring meeting at the Main Street Center, put on by our local state congressman, featured speaker was from the Attorney General's Office. Sometimes ya just gotta fake it!

I remember Doan's Pills, but not the commercial
When I feel lethargic, when my muscles don't seem to want to move, I take a little extra potassium. Because I also take a water-retention pill, extra potassium is called for, as it washes out of the body with water.

Liver pills
I remember Sloans but don't remember what my parents used it for. There was an ad about Dr So-and So's pink little liver pills. I remember the word pink. As for energy, try Siberian Ginseng. Cod liver oil I still take in the form of Omega-3 capsules. However, when you belch, you can still taste the nasty codliver oil in your mouth.

I actually don't remember Doan's little liver pills; but then we all have days where we might want some, just for the placebo effect, which is probably the only one they're good for, LOL.
When I was a kid I remember there were days when I just didn't wanna go to school and faked symptoms, especially a bad cough, which often worked but had the unpleasant side effect that Mom would administer very unpleasant cough syrups and an extra dose of that bane of my childhood - cod liver oil!
Anyway, I hope that a little extra bed rest will restore you completely...
