Parrot credited with choking tot rescue
DENVER, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A Denver area babysitter said her pet parrot may have saved the life of a 2-year-old girl by raising a ruckus when the toddler started choking.
The babysitter, who gave her name as Meagan, said she was using the bathroom in her home while babysitting for the 2-year-old, Hannah, when she heard her parrot, Willie, screaming wildly, KCNC-TV, Denver reported Monday.
"Willie started screaming like I'd never heard him scream before and he started flapping his wings," Meagan said. "Then he started saying 'mama baby' over and over and over again until I came out and looked at Hannah and Hannah's face was turning blue because she was choking on her pop tart."
Meagan said she performed the Heimlich maneuver and stopped the young child's choking.
"If (Willie) wouldn't have warned me, I probably wouldn't have come out of the bathroom in time because she was already turning blue, her lips were blue and everything," Meagan said.
Sounds like a mall pretzel! Also yummers.
My Tivo caught reruns of TDS & CR as well, Jesse. I think you're good.
I'm mainlining WW repeats from the Bravo broadcast as well.
... if you tell me you just bought a new pair of clogs, I am going to suspect you've stolen my life.
That mustard sauce sounds awesome. Also, now I want to play approx 1 million rounds of solitaire, but I am weird and prefer the cards. When I was in middle school, I had a solitaire book and learned 20 million different variations of solitaire.
West Wing is awesome. And so is A Few Good Men, which is probably my favorite Tom Cruise movie, as I never really liked Tom Cruise, even in his HeyDay as a teen heartthrob.

Hee! I did not buy clogs, so I think we're OK. Oh, and thanks!

True fact. Man, I haven't seen that movie in years.
I'm going to have to try the mustard & butter topping. That does sound yum.

He's really good in Tropic Thunder. Basically by playing a really really horrible person, but with brio.

It's probably one of the few movies in which I was able to forget that he was Tom Cruise and actually buy him as the character. And damn, how I love watching Jack Nicholson chew scenery in that one.
Remember, kids: Crack is wack!!
