Now I can breathe a sigh of relief

Getting the hiccups is a frequent occurrence if you're me. I get them at the most random of times in the most inappropriate places - like the library for instance! And when I get the hiccups they tend to last for too long. My main method of ending them is by holding my breath, but that hardly ever works.

That's why my husband rocks. If I get the hiccups when he's around, I won't have them for long. All he has to do is hide around a corner, wait for me to come by and jump out at me. Sadly, that's usually all it takes to scare me. Sometimes when he's feeling lazy or if I get them while we're lounging on the couch, all he has to do is shout, "HEY!!" and they're gone. Even sadder still, this technique is just as effective as the previous one.

So it's a good thing I'm as jumpy as I am, else wise I'd have the hiccups all year long.

Did You Know...

Your spinal cord stops growing when you're about 4 years old?? That means it's shorter than your vertebral column! (it stops at the L1 vertebrae, just below your rib cage)

Did you also know... 

Sometimes when I'm studying I'll have my earphones in but I won't actually be listening to anything because 

a) I can't pick something I want to listen to that won't distract me

or b) I just don't want to be bothered. 

Now you know. :)
