not really. just wanted to catch your attention.
This is not really an article just a clarification because I was curious, and Nathan listed as one of his many topics. I chose this one instead of "Swedish combined arms tactics in the 30 years war." It was a tough choice.
The uvula hangs down in the back of your throat, like a tear drop, and flaps up when you swallow to prevent food from going down the breathing passage incorrectly. Fascinated yet?
More relevantly, it is credited for helping singers produce vibrato. So Margaret's lovely voice would sound quite different without that uvula- you are pretty indebted to that uvula of yours Marge, so no hating.
The uvula is also blamed for snoring and sleep apnea. There is actually a a surgery called uvulopalatopharyngoplasty to remove the uvula and strengthen the muscles around it and open up more of an air passage. We got dad and granny scheduled for one next week. No no not really. Mom and dad's room wouldn't be complete without the finishing touch of dad's oxygen/gas mask snore machine.
I've never said the word uvula so much in my entire life.

hello world wide web, i'm holly
So I got sucked in too.
I am always very hesitant for people to read what I write.....I figured out that that mindset would not work if i wanted to be a writer. So I'm going out of my comfort zone. This will be such a good training tool, and I have already received many creative topics. I won't do many of them justice. I find that when there is a certain subject that I am wanting to write about I get overzealous and over-think something. Then when I write it out, it just looks like I am either trying rally hard to be deep on a level that no one can reach or I just do not know what I'm talking about.
I will try to write as often as I can, but school is pretty pressing right now. My English teachers (are off their rocker, which some of you can relate to) think that their class is reasonable. All of the topics presented to me are ones that I want to explore, and it will take me some time to formulate good essays/ articles/ whatnot.
I hope that through this blog, maturation can be seen through my writings- some of it will most likely sound like a 17-year-old seeing as, surprise!, I'm 17. I'm putting myself out there and, even though it's only to my family, it's still a little intimidating.
There's this quote by Joseph Heller (I've never read Catch 22) and he says: "Every writer I know has trouble writing."
I'm planning on having trouble, but that's why I'm depending on my excellent 17 person judges panel to steer me right.
