The Oreo

"Girls are nice, but oh what icing comes in Oreo's, Oreo's are good because they're the very best cookie ever was". No truer statement has ever been made by mankind. So many people today try to ease the stress on their lives by turning to drugs, caffeine or other things, but I think that the best stress reliever we have ever had, or will have, is just a cold glass of milk and a package of Oreo cookies. These littles gems are the best comfort food you can find anywhere. Mankind was in the habit of dunking Oreos into milk long before retailers started crushing them and adding them to icecream, shakes, malts, flurries, sundaes or cakes. People around the world associate America with "Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Cheverolet". But if you take into consideration Scout Camps and Girl's camps then you could definatly add Oreos to this association. So if you have a little stress in your life or you are having a hard night trying to get to sleep, try dunking Oreos into a glass of milk and see what it will do for you. . . . . . . . .

My Morning With The Doctor

This morning was spent at LDS Hospital undergoing an endoscopy proceedure on my Pancreas. Last night was a long night as I didn't get much sleep. I was a little nervous about what was to transpire today. After I finally got to sleep I woke up at at 5:45, got showered and was picked up by my friend Chuck. I arrived at the hospital shortly after 7:00 am and got checked in at the front desk. From there I went to the waiting room until being called to get ready for the proceedure. I underwent my proceedure and was returned to recovery by 9:00 am. I then spent the next three hours in recovery getting the fog out of my head and waiting for Chuck to return. While in recovery I was able to share the secret of the correct way to dunk "Oreo Cookies". (I will discuss this method at a later time). After all this I arrived back home before 1:00 pm. My observatons for today were fun, not too exciting, but fun. The entire staff I was involved with were awesome. They treated, me and the other patients, like we were their best friends. You know, they treated me so good that I had a hard time leaving and going home. The best observation I had today was that I realized just how dependent we are on each other.

New Postings

I have made a renewed committment to myself and to anyone who wants to follow this blog that I will be more faithfull on my follow-thru and continued posting to my blog from here on out!

I will post 2-3 times per week, depending on my situation at the time. I will usally schedule my posts to just before retiring for the evening. I also would appreciate any suggestions you may have to improve my efforts. Until then have a great day and we'll be talking at you soon!

I will share with you a funny thing I noticed today at the Intermountain Medical Hospital, (IMC). As I have been riding the elevators in the hospital the last couple of days I noticed that this new, state of the art hospital, does not have a 13th floor. As a remarked about this to the nurse who was riding the elevator with me she told me that not only do they not have a 13th floor, that none of the floors or the wings have a room 13 on them.

Can you imagine, here we are 10 years into the 21st century, and we are still carrying on some of the old superstitions we've had ever since the " Dark Ages". Makes you wondering what kind of medicine they are really practicing now days.

I wonder if any of those alien spaceships people keep getting kidnapped onto have a 13th level or room on them. Oh well, just something else to ponder. Talk with you soon, Grandpa Randy
