Reserve 8 blackberries from 1 pint. Cook the rest of the berries with 2 tablespoons sugar in a saucepan over high heat until berries are just starting to break down.

Chiropractors use a variety of techniques to treat spinal stenosis, including:
• Spinal adjustments: these adjustments aim to improve spinal alignment and reduce pressure on the nerves.

"AHA!"

My parents where smarter than I gave them credit for when I was child. Why? Because they bought me plastic Easter Eggs. You see, they quickly discovered how much I loved hunting for and finding them. With the plastic ones, I could search for them year-round. That kept me happy and occupied, which kept my parents happy as well. Whenever I found one, I would yell: “AHA!” Of course, this led me to hunt for other things as well. While I was good at it, there was and still is something that I struggle to find.
