GOT HICCUPS?

  1. Hiccups will often vanish if you swallow a tablespoon of lemon juice.
  2. Here's one I hadn't heard:  Press softly on your eyelids.
  3. Breathe in and out into a paper bag.
  4. Swallow a teaspoon of honey.
  5. Swallow a teaspoon of vinegar.
  6. Swallow a teaspoon of sugar.
  7. The old stand-by:  hold your breath as long as possible, then exhale slowly.
  8. Or try to drink a glass of ice water from the opposite side of the glass.
  9. And last, for now:  The bartender's cure:  Drizzle a few drops of bitters on a wedge of lemon or lime before you eat it.

THE ARRIVAL OF WEASLEY

My Grandsons, Jason and Josh, decided that "we" needed a kitten.  So he arrived here on July first.  We named him Weasley.  And here he is a few days later with Great Granddaughter, Kyra:
He fell instantly in love with my dog Chloe, so we have to make sure that she doesn't get too rough with him.
