   George,   
      
    GP> I've learned to always check the order the doc writes and insist he   
    GP> add "PRN" to every night time med, especially sleeping pills.   
      
     The strongest thing I have for pain is Ibuprofen (400 or 800 milligrams).   
   I don't have any sleeping pills, per se.   
      
    GP> I'd say, simply, "All right; you first, though. . ."   
      
     That's like country-western star Bobby Bear (the first country singer,   
   who would really be a swinger, and streak through the Opryland Park (that   
   was actually a song years ago)) noted when he was to get the physical   
   before getting inducted into the military. When the doctor said "Take off   
   all your clothes", he replied "You first".    
      
    GP> Classic! I heard it as "It looks a bit cloudy" & he says, "No problem,   
    GP> I'll filter it through again," & guzzle guzzle gulp. . .   
      
     I would've loved to been a fly on the wall when that happened.    
      
    GP> I can see that happening. . . I've been in those cold wards!   
      
     When I was in the Emergency Room, when I was initially diagnosed with   
   atrial flutter...and then finally moved to a room, the air conditioning   
   wasn't working in either one. I was soaked with sweat in that hospital   
   gown...so, one of the female nurses gave me a nice bath. That nice warm   
   water sure felt good.    
      
    GP> I have a lot of days like this these days. .  or I'd eye her up & down   
    GP> & then ask what kind of soup is it?   
      
     My favorite was vegetable beef...although I haven't had soup in a long   
   time. I had stayed away from corn, as it aggravated my diverticulitis. I   
   did have corn with a couple of meals in the hospital, and amazingly, it   
   didn't give my colon fits.    
      
     Before I started having trouble with it (neither corn or gum will digest,    
   but "go right on through"), corn and I were the best of friends. Whether    
   whole kernel, creamed, fried, or on the cob; just sit me down with a side    
   of butter, and plenty of napkins, and I was happy as a pig in slop. :P   
      
    GP> It's like the old lady in a home, who got bored, tied a towel around   
    GP> her neck, like a cape and ran around yelling "Super sex" 9/10 of the   
    GP> gents on the ward asked for the soup!  The 10th was a relative of   
    GP> Little Johnny & answered reflexively to the only word he heard.   
      
     Little Johnny Know It All.    
      
    GP> Guess we should leave these for the FUNNY echo, eh? We're in MEMORIES   
    GP> currently.   
      
     Some of the bloopers or deals on the old time TV and radio shows are an   
   absolute hoot.   
      
     It sounded like Edgar Bergen and his dummy Charlie McCarthy were always   
   at odds with W.C. Fields...but it was all part of the routine. In one   
   routine, Charlie was just berating Fields, and Edgar admonished him that   
   "Charlie!! Mr. Fields is not a well man". Fields replies "That's right,   
   Edgar. I've been a fragile thing of beauty, ever since I was born". To   
   which, Charlie retorts, "Why, you weren't born!! You were squeezed out   
   of a bar rag!!".
