How to use bone in a sentence?

  1. Bobby Elesky:

    There were times when the air quality was so bad that you would just drop to your knees and throw up, we made jokes at the time because we had no idea how serious it was.’ But Elesky says he found out when he returned home in 2005 and was told during a checkup that he had nearly 20 parasites in his body. More than a decade after his return, Elskey has suffered from myriad health issues, including plasmacytoma -- a condition where rare tumors attack soft tissue in the nasal cavity or bone marrow. He is grateful for the treatment he has received from the VA, but said the bureaucracy was difficult to deal with. Elesky said he was initially denied enrollment into the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs’ Burn Pit Registry -- which was created to research and examine the potential threats from burn pit exposure.

  2. Melissa Brunning:

    I think the shark was in shock as much as I was ... the only way I can describe it is this immense pressure and it felt like it was shredding it off the bone, i came up and I was like, ‘I’ve lost my finger, my finger’s gone.’.

  3. Patricio Gargollo:

    The easiest way to picture it is like an open book; the bladder is the pages. To close that book up so you don’t see the pages, you sew it back together and put all the muscle and skin on top of that. The backbone of the book is the pelvic bone.

  4. Dione Davis -LRB- @dionemdavis -RRB-:

    I love a classic trench in a beautiful bone color as a functional covering — rain or shine — that feels a bit more special, i’d wear this over a white merino wool sweater and cream wool trousers with a sharp black shoe. There’s always something striking but approachable about wearing all shades of cream when they are basics.

  5. Guillermo Ameer:

    The engineered ligament is biocompatible and can stabilize the knee, allowing the animal to function, most importantly, we may have found a way to integrate an artificial ligament with native bone.
