"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. She put the knife into her mouth and then laughed -- at which point she swallowed the knife.

LOL!
That was my next thought, of course. :o]
Good luck.
(Have you tried Real Salt? It’s Jurassic sea salt from Utah)
Widgets are what computer networks are made of, so they have something to do with his employment.
Sorry your brunch fell through, and I hope your blood pressure gets to doing better soon. I just put a pork roast in the oven, and when Bill finishes grooming, I’ll have him make potato salad. With DP gone, meals for the next week can be of the hot dog sort!
No, but I use sea salt, just because it has so much in it. Living in Utah most of my life, I was able to partake of Bonneville Salt before most people knew the dry lake bed was there. Of course, almost no one realizes that the Great Salt Lake is the remnant of Lake Bonneville.
Table salt is nothing, literally. Less nutritious than sugar. Talk about “empty” calories!
However, I will look for Real Salt. The sea salt I use is from Spain, the Mediterranean coast.
Thanks for the explanation!
Does Bill make good potato salad? If so, I want some when I visit. I mean, I would be very pleased if Bill would be so kind as to make his particular type of potato salad during the time I visit. *kof-kof*
Is there something you would like me to cook when I am there? If you tell me something you like (casseroles, Mexican, family recipes, desserts, etc) I can collect the recipes in advance and we can choose them when I visit. It’s the least I can do to show my appreciation!
I know the visit is still seven or eight months away, but I’m already excited! LOL!
I just asked Lablady how she was feeling: “Blech” I sent her a text hug.
The kids and I used to love when Igor was out of town, because we ate when we felt like it and fixed what we liked!
Igor was the sort who HAD to have meals at certain times, which I hated. If they weren’t in school, we spent the time in our RV at the beach.
I miss the RV and the beach. Are you going on vacation over Labor Day?
I don’t think I’ve asked Bill to make potato salad before, so I don’t know what I’ll get, but he’d better come out of his room soon, or I’ll take his computer away again.
DP generally comes home, eats what I’ve made unless he decides he wants something else, and then goes to the gym or goes in the sunroom until I have the little kids in bed, then turns up on the living room to watch tv ... so, swell as he is in many ways, his absence will have some advantages, including the employer’s paying for his meals for a week.
There are some among us who are aware of such matters.
The Donner Party crossed the Bonneville Salt Flats, taking five days and calling it the "dry drive".
When they got into the pass, and the weather closed around them, their animals began dying. They could have preserved the meat, but they had no salt.
I’ve never given any thought to the soils of the Salt Lake area, although I’ve had the atlas out to help with reading some Louis L’Amour novels set in Utah.
I put salt on fries, but that’s about it.
Having meals per diem is good! :o]
Shall I buy Der Prinz some red wine when I show up?
He seems so in love with you, I don’t really know how to approach him. Food? Wine? Gasoline cards? Boy Scout awards?Fatherhood awards? Music awards?
Sea salt is so much tastier than table salt!
Sea salt is so much tastier than table salt!
DP gets specialty salt sometimes. I don’t appreciate “saltiness” that much, unless it’s fries or chips or pretzels.
Jake is lying on the dragon pictures looking pleased with himself.
He seems so in love with you ...
You think so? I get to feeling like a household appliance.
However, if your church district (ward? stake?) puts out reports on what the Boy Scouts are doing, DP would be interested to see what kind of Eagle Scout projects are done, and any particularly successful ways the LDS scouting units promote character development.
I checked out the site. They sell Real Salt in Target, and I will NOT shop there. They are 1. French owned, 2. Refuse to allow Toys For Tots bins in their stores, and 3. they are subversive to the American life-style. I will NOT allow my money to encourage cowardice.
Sorry, Nully, no sale, here.
We can work on that, fershure!
I will check out the local Wards, and it may be that an Eagle Scout Ceremony will be in the offing. Give me a few days and I will have more information for you.
DP will most assuredly find a lot of fun with the BSA in LDS Wards.
I can hardly wait!
Tarzhay is only one of their outlets. I avoid them as well.
Patience, patience ...
The ideal, in Scouting, is that the Scout Law would be so internalized that the young man, or older man, would never even consider being dishonest, disloyal, unhelpful, unpatriotic, and so on. People are imperfect, of course, but we’re always looking for ways to emphasize character so that the Law becomes “who you are.”
Three things make earth unquiet And four she cannot brook The godly Agur counted them And put them in a book —Those Four Tremendous Curses With which mankind is cursed; But a Servant when He Reigneth Old Agur entered first. An Handmaid that is Mistress We need not call upon. A Fool when he is full of Meat Will fall asleep anon. An Odious Woman Married May bear a babe and mend; But a Servant when He Reigneth Is Confusion to the end.
His feet are swift to tumult, His hands are slow to toil, His ears are deaf to reason, His lips are loud in broil. He knows no use for power Except to show his might. He gives no heed to judgment Unless it prove him right.
Because he served a master Before his Kingship came, And hid in all disaster Behind his master’s name, So, when his Folly opens The unnecessary hells, A Servant when He Reigneth Throws the blame on some one else.
His vows are lightly spoken, His faith is hard to bind, His trust is easy broken, He fears his fellow-kind. The nearest mob will move him To break the pledge he gave —Oh, a Servant when he Reigneth Is more than ever slave!

Kipling understood a lot of things. If everything is going to fall apart, one could do worse than have a lot of his poems memorized.
I was hoping Cleese work write the Olympic closing.
