Beth was scrolling through Instagram this summer, getting more and more annoyed. Besides the fascination everyone has with photographing their dinner plates, one of the more ubiquitous photos circulating on social media is a photo of freshly manicured feet overlooking a swimming pool! (more…)
“Toughen up! You’re too thin-skinned!”

Recently, one of my sons shared a story about his girlfriend’s dog, Flynn. Now, if you look at his picture above, little Flynn may not look as intimidating as he thinks he is. But he tirelessly stands guard against squirrels and other equally fearsome creatures. (more…)
It’s summer! It’s hot! It’s REALLY hot!
I raised three boys. I know that when the weather gets hot, kids gravitate to the water — any water. It doesn’t matter if it’s an overcrowded swimming pool, a seaweed-laden ocean or a murky river. Heck, even mud puddles look attractive to kids when the temperature is roasting.

The medical name for this condition is cercarial dermatitis, but you’ll often hear it referred to as swimmer’s itch.

Some joints are easy to ignore — until they cause problems. That's true in plumbing, and it’s certainly true in our bodies. (more…)
Oh.
My.
Gosh.
The pain from facial or trigeminal neuralgia can be horrendous. It certainly must be a curse on humanity! It can be so bad, in fact, that many sufferers resort to daily ingestion of synthetic drugs, even for years. And you know how I feel about those. (more…)
