Ah Tab....going with my mother to the laundromat before I was old enough for school and begging to get that awful (as I "discovered" later in life) tasting soda. This reminds me of our parents forbidding diet soda, so we of course assumed it must be delicious. We were on a flight once and the flight attendant asked what we wanted to drink. My cousin and I both requested the forbidden nectar known as Diet Coke. To say we were disappointed is an understatement.

We dropped our ballots off today in an official drop box. No stickers, though.

That’s so they can track them down and kill them later. Joking.

Not quite an RIP, bit Coca-Cola is retiring their original diet cola-Tab. Tab just brings back 70s memories for me, but in the 80s I had a boss at one of my high school jobs who only drank Tab and coffee. I tried Tab a few times, but never liked the taste. The second generation of diet colas were better, but still lacking. My favorite was the third generation-Coke Zero, but I haven't drank soda of any sort since 2017-gave it up when I was recovering form my surgery and never went back. -M Coke should have been fined massively for that ad, under the truth-in-advertising statutes! Bleccch! Diet Coke was way better, down the road; though it still took adjusting to it. Tab had an aftertaste that was like licking a battery terminal.

My Dad has an enlarged prostate, fairly normal for older men, but it had gotten to an extreme and they will have to do surgery to reduce the problem. No infection but three-four days of anti-biotics hasn't done any harm, and the scan of his kidneys yesterday show they are totally fine. He came home and I am mostly just cooking stuff for him. Picked up the prostate drug this morning. It'll be a two or three week wait for the surgery. He says he's completely without the pain he had been getting, so no need to try any pain meds. Everything takes a bit longer and doing some stuff is more difficult because of the pandemic, but other things less so as you can do some doctor appointments virtually. I still have four more Spider-Girls on hand to read, and a Fantastic Four annual. Some people call them well-wishes, positive vibes, karmic energy, good-luck thoughts, etc.
I call 'em prayers.
Whatever you might choose to call them, I'm sending them in the direction of your father and the rest of the family.

Didn't know Tab was still around. It tasted awful.

Thanks, appreciate the sentiment! You make that decision to have parents and it's a lifetime responsibility.
