Woman laughs, accidentally swallows knife
Los Angeles Times ^ | August 3, 2012 | Rosie Mestel

"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.

Thanks! I call myself “Tax-chick” here, but actually, that identity was overtaken by events years ago. I could more accurately call myself “Spell-chick.”

It has a certain Harry-Potterish cachet, don’t you think?

Apropos of nothing, I’m putting a little something in the mail to you today. I’ll drop it at the PO, since I also have to mail Bill’s note to old Miz McGuinness today.

It will be 108 here today. The moisture has finally backed off a bit, so I feel almost human!

You pray for the rain, I’ll pray for the cheesecake! ;o]

I can call you Spell-Chick...you can check the spells for proper usage. We don’t want any inadvertent “critters” running around here using our names.

I know how you feel. I lived in Texas for 13 years and in Oklahoma for 7. And some of those years we couldn’t even afford cheesecake.

Anoreth, I’m sure, remembers the rice-and-beans years and toast for supper. Good preparation for meals on the cutter, perhaps.

108? You guys are pikers.

:^)

My weather thang sez 111 at least for the rest of the week. My Weatherbug has been blaring a warning about “excessive Heat” since Saturday. Excessive heat? This is Phoenix. I don’t consider 115 excessive. We did get close to that yesterday....

” Try as you might, you cannot beat ‘Face’s inadvertent typo humor.

Has she pinged her lust at you yet? “

I didn’t even get a handshake : )

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!
