Last week we went to take my mother-in-law to lunch for her 80th birthday. I managed to get a whole mess of stuffed flounder and lettuce packed down in my throat and could not get it out. Fortunately we were in a Charlie Brown's restaurant in South Jersey which has a large retired population and experience with this kind of thing - because I stopped breathing for only 2-3 minutes before the rescue squad got the plug out. I did have to spend 5 days in the hospital's ICU because I had a fever from aspirating some of the flounder. Not one of my most outstanding actions. It really was not a whole lot of fun knowing that you have scared the bejesus out of everyone. Just be careful., folks. It doesn't take more than a momentary lapse in judgment to kill you. I am fairly certain I owe e-mail responses to a couple of you, but I'm afraid it's been long enough where I've lost track of who. Please resend your messages. THANKS! BBA
