"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.

I’ll fling a box of rose in your direction. Will that help?

Howdy.
Though I’m not really happy with this...
A car is a vehicle is transportation..and...
One of my neighbors down the street (not in this complex) has a car that needs some “repairs” but she is willing to sell it to me for $250. She says it needs some engine work and so on, but she will gather all her paperwork, including the title, and I can present it to the church elders and see what can be done.
(I wish my son were here!)
It may be a week or so before she has all the stuff together, but we were able to talk today and get some ideas on the board. She’s from MinneSOOOOta!

As long as a rose doesn’t hit me in the nose, it’s all good! I have an arrangement of some kind of purple flower and white daisies on the mantel right now. I bought them on Friday for Asuncion, whose birthday was last week, but it turned out we didn’t have practice Friday night as planned, and I didn’t want to give her “elderly” flowers today, so I got her a nice scented candle at Target to go with the certificate from “Taqueria La Unica,” which a preponderance of local Mexicans - and us - think has the best Mexican food in the area.
I’ll pray about the car. It is, as I keep telling Bill about the Purple Thing, transportation.

Is it OK to forward your message to the Prayer Warriors and to Amy’s? I asked them once and overnight everything was OK.

This car has been on my mind for several months. I walk to the 7/11 and pass it. I saw her (Darcy) today and asked about the green thing in her driveway.
So things are going...as they should...God has His Designs for all of us. I just have to wait and see. Darcy is a gal who cannot lie.
If the Green Thing can get me from here to there, I can live with it1

The Green Thing down the street is a VEHICLE!

I think anything other than your personal feet is a vehicle ;-), and if it’s meant to be your vehicle, it will be.
We will take you to La Unica when you visit. It is gooooooood. And we won’t make you ride with Bill or Tom!

You can forward it to anyone you know who has Prayer Warrior blood! There can never be too many prayers said.
