Most of us don't really think about how fragile our access to medication really is until something goes wrong. A closed pharmacy, a backorder, a storm that you know cuts off a town for a week. When you and your family depend on certain medication, that gap isn't just inconvenient, it can become dangerous. Jace Medical was built to close that gap. They quite created the Jace cases. A doctor prepared emergency supply of commonly prescribed antibiotics and critical medications that you can keep on hand before you need them. And it's not about panic, it's about being responsible in a world where supply chains and systems break down more often than we'd like to admit. And the process is really super simple. You fill out a short online consultation, a licensed medical professional review it, and your emergency supply arrives at your door labeled, explained and ready for the moment.

You know, last night after the Super Bowl, I started thinking about watching the super bowl with my dad and my family at the house and, and what it was like and, and. However, everything was just simpler back then. I mean, I want to talk to you about culture and, and, and. And childhood. Not childhood is an idea, but what. What it actually felt like. And it doesn't matter what language you speak or, you know, where you're from. The culture we all should be striving for is the one that doesn't expose, you know, children to grinding and songs about, push it in, push it in, push it in. When. When did we stop saying, this is not appropriate. When did we stop saying, let kids be kids? You know, in the 1980s, when I was growing up, 70s and 80s, you got up in the morning and you walked to school alone, maybe more with your sister or brother. And it could be a mile, I think. I think my walk was about two miles. I don't know, maybe it was only a mile. But you didn't think twice about it. This is the way it was. When you got old enough, you took your bike, but you didn't need to take your lock for your bike. You didn't need a lock. You lean it against the rack or a fence or, you know, a tree, and it was still there when you came back because the culture was different in the summer. You'd. You'd wake up early, you'd pour yourself a bowl of cereal, you'd dig around for the prize at the bottom of the box. That mattered by the way. You got dressed fast, not because anybody told you to, but because the day was waiting. You walked to your friend's house. You didn't call first. You just didn't, you know, you just knocked. Hey, can you come out and play today? I'm not even sure what we did all day. I don't even remember what we did all day in the summer. Every day. I honestly don't know. But we were out every day. Sometimes we walked around, sometimes we would play ball, sometimes Frisbee, but nothing organized. There were never any adults hovering. There was no schedule. Nobody was driving us. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, so it rained a lot there. But on rainy Saturdays, I remember, if we were lucky, we'd turn on channel 13. Not that there were actually 13 channels kids. But, you know, there was four. Channel 4, channel 5, channel 7 and 13. Okay. Channel 13 was the odd man out. Wasn't one of the networks, so it didn't have any new shows. But once in a while on a Saturday, they would run like a Twilight Zone marathon or a Godzilla marathon. And all of my friends would come over and we'd all, you know, sit on the floo or, you know, it's raining outside, and we'd eat snacks. And honestly, the snacks that I think we probably bought ourselves, I mean, we could get cookies, but, you know, snacks. I mean, not that we were poor, I don't think, but, you know, our moms didn't buy chips and soda. That was something special like, say, for super bowl days. Okay, but today's. By today's standards, I think maybe we were poor. But I didn't know it. I don't. I mean, I don't know. Everybody felt the same back then. You know, I had friends whose dad. One. One friend. His dad was a lawyer, later a judge. He drove a Cadillac. I had another friend whose dad was a doctor. Their houses were bigger than ours, but not. Not entirely. It didn't have different lives. You know, I guess the difference was they took vacations to exotic places like California, where we didn't take vacations. You know, summer vacation with my family growing up. My grandparents farm where you worked, you know, but even there, after you worked, I mean, we were allowed to play. And, you know, on days we could play, we would just leave the house and wouldn't come home until the street lights were on. That was the. That was the thing. That was the agreement. When the street lights come on, be at home. That was the rule. And maybe it's because we didn't stress over so much. I mean, kids talk about global warming today and the stress. You don't know what the stress is. Like, global warming. I don't even know if we can have families when we grow up. What are you talking about? I mean, I understand that feeling. We. We had nuclear war. Okay, Let me tell you about the global warming that we were worried about as kids. Not a temperature rising a fraction of a degree over a century, but the temperature rising 10,000 degrees in 12 minutes. Okay? Terrified of nuclear war. And we go to war, we'd go to school and we'd practice drills, and, you know, we'd hear about it on the news. We lived in the quiet knowledge that the world could end before dinner time, before the streetlights came on. But that just was, you know, and we weren't brought into it. Yes, our schools did drills, but the adults dealt with this. We weren't trained to march in the streets against nuclear war. It wasn't brought up to us as kids every day because we would have freaked out. Kind of like our kids are freaking out now. We concentrated on the little things, like the sound of the screen door slamming shut as we were running off the porch to start the day. And I don't want to sound, you know, like an old guy, but I am an old guy. Things were simpler then. We didn't have phones with us all the time. We didn't have social media all the time. I mean, it sounds boring when you say it out loud, but we were never bored. And I mean, partly because if you ever said, I'm bored out loud, your parents or an adult would immediately find work for you to do. Oh, you're bored? Here, Come on. You'll be like, I'm not bored. What do you. And. But they never suggested activities. They would just say, go outside. We didn't have organized sports. No one drove us everywhere. We made the games. We were the players. We were the refs. We were the crowd. We. That was it. And I don't remember getting bored. I remember when we got cable tv and we thought, wow, we're gonna have so many channels. Something will always be on now. Now, now didn't change. I had a phone, mainly because of my sisters. We had one in our hallway that had a really, really long curly cord that was so stretched out because it wasn't far enough away from the family for my sister. So they would stretch it all the way around the corner and sit in a closet, and they would talk. I remember a friend of mine in high school got her own phone line in her own bedroom. Wow. What? Thought that was incredible. And I'd call her, and we'd talk for hours. And sometimes we'd be on the phone, but we wouldn't be talking. Silence wasn't awkward. It was normal. And we didn't send pictures of ourselves. We didn't talk about sex the way kids talk about it now. We weren't distracted. There was silence. Wasn't because we were distracted. There was nothing demanding our attention every five seconds. Silence was part of being together. And then things started to speed up. Overnight delivery, fax machines. Who needs paperwork overnight?
