Bobster...Thats Hittin the nail on the head....... Nail to Blame for Girl's Chronic Sore Throat ISTANBUL, Turkey (Reuters) - Doctors preparing to remove the tonsils of a seven-year old Turkish girl who had suffered throat pain most of her life discovered a large nail in her neck, the daily Sabah said. Pre-operative X-rays showed the girl, a resident of the northwestern Turkish city of Eskisehir identified only as ''Busra,'' had a 1 1/2-inch nail lodged in her esophagus, the paper said. ``According to her family, Busra began complaining of sharp throat pains around the age of two. It is possible that she swallowed the nail then,'' Sabah quoted her doctor as saying in Sunday's editions. He added that he successfully removed both the nail and her tonsils Saturday.

SIBob, No big deal!!!............We'd kinda like to keep everyone together if we can. Think we can by bending a little here and bending a little there. We just finished bending a short while ago. Thanks for the suggestion and in the future we might use that as a problem solver. Hopefully not........ Thanks, dealie

Now there's an idea worth consideration. Thanks SI Bob for an excellent solution. FWIW, my main problem with the political debate was that it almost always becomes emotionally charged & denigrates into name calling, finger pointing & then it becomes very, very personal (between each other & against the political entities themselves). It usually ends up with hard feelings & no one has changed their original stance. Essentially the only thing accomplished is that good friends are now foes & things are never the same, yet most still vote their original persuasion. I say let the political debate continue here...... but..... if it denigrates again, start "The Political Porch" thread so those so inclined can continue the quarrels over there. Just my 2¢ worth. Ö¿Ö
