Dr. Mom is Tracy's New Doctor
Dr. Mom Opens New Clinic At Tracy Hospital
Tracy, MN Sept. 21, 2000

They call her "Dr. Mom".  Delores Syverson has been associated with the Tracy Hospital for a number of years now.  But she has recently taken on a new role.
Supervising the Housekeeping and Laundry at the hospital just didn't satsify anymore.  She decided that she wanted to be a doctor. 

Truth is that she has been treating patients with her special "Clean-o-pathic" medication for some time.  She had long been developing secret mixtures that she would add to her cleaning products as she cleaned patients rooms at the hospital.  She discovered that by combining cleaning products with her secret recipes she would see patients recover quicker than they would under normal circumstances.  She thought, "If just the aroma from my special Zipadeedoodah Cleaning Solution has such a beneficial effect what would happen if patients could take the product orally or even through an IV?

Early tests of the product were ineffective when the product was taken orally.

Dr. Mom adds secret ingredients to her Zipadeedoodah Cleaning Solution / Medication

Dr. Mom adds another secret ingredient.
Then Dr. Mom came across a secret ingredient that she hadn't thought of before, St. Theodore's Basilica Gel.  She had heard of its miracle properties before, but how would the substance react with her special Zipdeedoodah Cleaning Solution?

The first batch was a little too strong and had serious side effects not limited to dry mouth, dementia, and an unusual craving for Lutefisk.  Most who took the substance orally also experienced cramping and felt an unusual desire to play Jingle Bells on the Tuba.  They also tended toward a paranoid sense that everything that was going on around them was a crisis.  Some of those involved in the testing also were heard to sing "deep in my heart there's a gladness", but each time they got to gladness, they would burp.

This just wouldn't do. So Dr. Mom started adding other substances to find just the right combination.  It was determined that a large can of Campbell's Tomato  Soup was the perfect counterbalance to the side effects.

Further testing has determined that the special Zipadeedoodah Cleaning Solution will cure just about anything and Dr. Mom is now setting up a special clinic at the Tracy Hospital to administer the miracle medicine herself.
 

Late Breaking News:

Hard Times Crisis Management Seminar Cancelled this Week.

In an related story.  Roy Syverson was unable to hold his weekely crisis Management Seminars at Hard TImes Farms Inc.  He has been experiencing unusual symptoms including dry mouth, dementia, and an unusual craving for Lutefisk.  He has also been experiencing cramping and has felt an unusual desire to play Jingle Bells on the Tuba which has brought on a sense of depression since he no longer has a tuba to play. He was also heard singing "deep in my heart there's a gladness", but each time he got to gladness, he would burp.   The symptoms seemed similar to the side effects of Dr. Mom's early experiments.  However Roys's sense of paranoia regarding the crises all around him did not appear to be heightened above the normal level.   Send get well cards to: Roy Syverson

Tasha Meets Winnie the Pooh
 

Tasha visits Winnie the Pooh
Tashaville

Tasha was watching TV one morning and hit a special button on the remote control that she had never pushed before.  All at once she was inside the TV standing right next to Winnie the Pooh.  She asked if she could eat some of his honey. 

But Winnie the Pooh was so busy eating the honey that he wasn't listening to her.  So she asked again.  But by that time Pooh had eaten all the honey.  Pooh apologized and said he wished that he had some more honey to give her but he just didn't have any more.  To which Tasha said, "Go down seven". to which Pooh said, "You go down seven". To which Tasha said, "You go down seven million." At which point, Pooh gave up...and wished that he had studied his math harder when he was in school so he could think of a number bigger than seven million.  But being a bear of very little brain, he couldn't think of a thing so he decided to seek out Owl for some advice. 

But before Pooh could get back, Tasha's sisters came to her rescue and the three of them road home on a baby mastedon.
