"Stitch & Bitch" they meet weekly for a potluck, sewing or knitting or
something and, presumably, bitching. I thought it rather humorous...

How is Noeline? It's been a long time since she's dropped by.
Give her our best.

It's the very bottom part of your sternum. It's also a great
Scrabble word.

O.k., Val, 'fess up...xyphoid isn't even in our 3200 page international
dictionary...did you make it up?? (Of course, our big dictionary is so old,
it may be a human body part that hadn't been discovered yet at the time of
printing...:-))

In my wanderings on the 'Net, I ran across (figuratively speaking) a few
who claimed to belong to "Dykes on Bikes".

The Xyphoid process is the little bit of bone that sticks down from the
breast bone (which is in between the ribs, men do so have them!). It's
why mothers always stop kids from bouncing on their siblings: if you
break off the xyphoid process, you can pierce the heart.

You've all been misled. The way to a man's heart is *not* through his
stomach. (And from there I leave you to draw your own conclusions.)

This seems to come around often enough that I'm gonna invest in a
Kevlar cooking apron.

It's in there. It's just listed under "xiphoid", for some strange reason. ;-)
The xiphoid process is the little bony thing at the base of the sternum. Should
have a big "in case of no heartbeat, press here" tatoo on it. Or a bullseye
tatoo, according to some of the females here...

Hi Ed,
The xyphoid process is an elongated piece of cartilage,
located in approximately in the center of your chest at the
bottom of where your ribs meet. It is used as a landmark
when doing CPR, and is easily broken whilst doing same.
Therefore one is taught to keep the hand doing compressions
off of the xyphoid.
Lloyd (who knows where the xyphoid is, but has broken a
couple never the less)

I was told it was the liver, not the heart, which you would pierce.

(Knowing these wacky Gen-X kids, liver piercing will probably be the next
big thing.)

Well, I was told heart, but the point they made was that you can die.

I say this reseptfully - If you like real lamb, as in a young animal, not
mutton, lemon enhances the flavor. If you are eating older lamb or mutton
then the mint will cover up the offensive odor and taste of the "lamb."
Then if you like mint jelly that is fine also. I spent time in the near
East where "lamb" as in young and tender and fresh smelling doesn't
require mint to mask the flavor to enjoy. Regards, Leigh.
