Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 7-6-2007(60): Nick XXX needs a heart transplant quick. He goes to a meeting of butchers where one of them is about to chop up an ideal heart. Nick snatches away the heart from under the butcher’s knife – just in the nick of time. (note: replace XXX with a Nick you know).

2) [astridtops] 26-11-2006(28): The guy who had a heart attack at the butcher's meeting was saved in the nick of time.

3) [gavmck] 6-3-2010(16): To ensure healing 癒 , you must banish the sickness 疒 in the nick of time.

4) [mikemorr] 2-1-2010(6): Depending on the font you're using, the top part of this kanji is either 兪 or 俞. 俞 (Yú) is a Chinese family name. If "butcher's meeting" doesn't help you remember 俞 in transport (#289 輸), rebuke (#352 諭), pleasure (#628 愉), healing (#2037 癒), and in the nick of time (#2433 愈), think of a specific person with that name instead, such as 俞晴 (actress/singer Yu Qing), 俞琤 (HK radio personality Winnie Yu Ching), 俞逊发 (flutist Yu Xunfa), 俞飞鸿 (actress Faye Yu / Yu Feihong), or 俞鴻鈞 (fmr. ROC premier Yu Hung-Chun).

5) [cameron_en] 21-11-2008(5): A guy at the butcher's conference has a heart attack, we called the ambulance just in the nick of time.
