"Unexpected Swallowing of a Knife" -- that's a grabbier title than most ones you see in medical journals.

The short item, a clinical image in this week's New England Journal of Medicine, explains that a 30-year-old woman with a history of bulimia had been bragging to friends that she no longer had a gag reflex.

We’re not out of the woods, yet. We hit 117 in May, 115 in June and the highest since July first has been 112.

Monsoon season is almost over, so we will be getting the heat again come September.

“Excessive heat” is for the benefit of the newbies to the Valley of the Sun...just like flash flood warnings.

I couldn’t think of anything appropriate that wouldn’t turn the entire thread a bright shade of turquoise blue for at least a week! LOL!

Years ago, I asked one of my brothers if he wanted a bargain on entertainment. When he said, “Yes,” I told him to start serving up the drinks!

Oh well...I don’t need much of an audience...

” If you think she’s a hoot online, imagine her with a large box of cheap pink wine, a bag of pretzels, and NO Diet 7-up!”

Careful....that might be a felony.

At least her impression of a dog is extremely good. But I guess it also explains why she never takes her coat off.

Half a dozen fresh figs, if you please, M’Lady!

LOL!

I could never seem to like figs any way but in a Newton. I especially liked the little bit of orange zest in the filling. It doesn’t seem to be there, now.

And I haven’t found any decent marmalade in a long time, either.

But thanks for the recipe!
