It was the easiest surgery I've ever had and everything is functioning normally now! <br /><br />Plus...I still have a whole bottle of Demerol that I didn't even need so that's like a bonus.Shannon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096086123820406604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324218.post-72863418772716058862011-01-08T17:50:14.526-06:002011-01-08T17:50:14.526-06:00I do not have OCD, but I am a former grocery store...I do not have OCD, but I am a former grocery store employee and we were taught, all those eons ago, how to bag like items with like items. Baggers these days are not taught that, IMHO. I group my purchases in like catagories so I don't have to cringe when they put the onions (not that I would purchase such a vile product!) with my butter. It's all in the teaching....<br />On another note, I did the South Beach Diet with my son a number of years ago. He lost 80+ pounds and changed his habits. I lost around 20, and still know the basic concept. It doesn't mean I follow it, but I may have to again shortly. My pants don't fit anymore and I am headed to my primary care to probably have the same surgery you did...

I still have nightmares of going to the dollar store with mom and watching her snatch stuff out of the cashier's hand and put in bag she wanted it in. I expected her walk around behind the counter and elbow the girl out of the way so she could ring herself up and do it right.Shannon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096086123820406604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324218.post-23507010857409386852011-01-08T14:18:14.379-06:002011-01-08T14:18:14.379-06:00HA! You totally pulled a mom!! Why didn't you ...HA! You totally pulled a mom!! Why didn't you just tell the checker what items to put in each sack like mom does?! Good grief...any good OCD-er knows that you let the sacker do his/her job and wait till you get to the car to rearrange the items into the bags they should be in...DUH!Maynhttp://shamayn.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324218.post-25741410862670484452011-01-08T14:11:27.408-06:002011-01-08T14:11:27.408-06:00Dad showed up on New Years Day with a bag of shell...Dad showed up on New Years Day with a bag of shelled pistachio's and a jar of Barbara's bread and butter pickles. He tried to convince me to mix the two together for an appetizer. I refused. <br />All you need on that sandwich is a little prosciutto, goat cheese and some purple onion and it will be perfect! Don't forget the salt and vinegar kettle chips to enhance the flavor of the sandwich!Maynhttp://shamayn.blogpot.comnoreply@blogger.com
