If you ask me if my momma is a great cook, I’ll answer, “Yes, she is.”
If you ask if me if mom is fun, I’ll answer, “She’s a hoot.”

The opioid epidemic has led many respected health groups to reconsider the value of a conservative approach to low back pain (the most common condition for which opioids are prescribed). Most notably, the American College of Physicians (ACP), the largest medical-specialty society in the world, updated its low back pain treatment guideline to support a conservative approach to care.

I love to play with words. Hence the word “Sandruff.” Think you know what it means? Let’s find out.
When Sara first started playing softball, her position was in outfield. Eventually, she was moved to the position of catcher, which excited her. I can see why. Infield is where most of the action is. And unfortunately, the sand.

I have been blessed (cursed?) to find humor where others would not even look. Let us consider the difference between “bloops” and “bleeps”.
When I was young, a neighbor of mine once quoted a little poem that my Aunt Lidia found particularly amusing:

Blueberries are best made into a pie or as a sauce for dumplings. I use the frozen ones unless fresh are available. It is worth stirring up a batch of pie dough. I like to serve Blueberry Pie warm.
