That’s similar wood paneling to what was in my childhood home’s family room. And on our station wagon. ---

As did I I can’t remember when U-100 came along …… It must have been around the same time? Just checked ….

I wasn’t a diabetic back then and I was a teen. But it immediately brought back memories of smells of the old small time pharmacies. ---

> [@T1Allison](#): > > That’s similar wood paneling to what was in my childhood home’s family room. Mine too!! I started on U40 Lente only in 1965. It was mid 80s before switching to multiple injections of NPH and Regular. Later to human insulin. For years they said I could not donate blood, due to risk of mad cow disease, even after switch to human insulins.

David Godlis: > **[The big picture: David Godlis photographs a fading Jewish Disneyland](https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/nov/14/the-big-picture-david-godlis-photographs-a-fading-jewish-disneyland-miami)** > > Miami’s sunshine, palm trees and Yiddish vaudeville were the hard-earned retirement dream of mid-century Jewish US immigrants Quoting the grauniad: > This picture, of a woman outside a drugstore, is typical of those photographs, which are collected in a new book, _Godlis Miami_ . The woman in her Jackie O shades inhabits both the confected glamour of the place that Godlis had known as a child, and the harsher day-to-day – discount insulin and cartons of smokes – of how it was turning out. I think we can all rely on the grauniad to turn a good phrase. My wife stiff smokes the modern menthols, no lemon though, just a short sharp shock as thatcher used to say. Search for Godlis and make your own mind. ---

The insulin price is obvious, even more so the cigarette price! Though I’m a non-smoker, isn’t the cost of a carton upwards of $60-70 these days? ---

I think $60 is the minimum, if you live on the east coast packs are over $10 each so I am guessing cartons would be $150+, glad I don’t smoke. ---

I noticed the price of the cigarettes too. I smoked as a teen and they used to be $3-5 carton. Wow $10 a pack now??? That’s a really expensive habit to have now! I would hope that would stop youth from smoking but I bet it doesn’t. ---

I started on U-40 (1970) and remember that U-100 coming out was a big deal. I never knew how much my parents paid for insulin or what was covered (my dad worked for US Government so expect we had top health care, heck when I was diagnosed in 1970 I was admitted to the hospital for 10 days!). Yes, the prices of both insulin and cigarettes jumped out. I was trying though to squint in to the names on the concert poster, Sarah and Brian? FerMe? ---

Some Venezuelan socialism…at least according to those who claim insulin should be “value priced” ([Alex Azar - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Azar)) in a way that doesn’t value peoples’ lives, or their financial well-being.
