Dear Amy: I’m a sophomore in college. My girlfriend and I met on campus at the beginning of the school year and have been together for six months (we’re both women). We’re making plans for this summer — we’re both looking into working at a beach resort near our college.Every summer I go to a reunion at my summer camp. This is a camp I went to for most of my childhood and through my teens. I was a counselor there for three years. The reunion week is a time when we former campers go back to camp to perform some maintenance tasks and help to prepare the camp for the summer. I really enjoy doing this work and I like seeing my fellow campers and staff. It’s a really special experience for me.My girlfriend is having a tough time with my decision to take this week away this summer. She says she ...

One sign read “Nasty on the mound!” Another said, “Go Nick!” Chicago White Sox starter Nick Nastrini had several supporters in attendance for his major-league debut Monday against the Kansas City Royals. The right-hander displayed the composure of a veteran, not letting the magnitude of the moment get to him on the mound. “The first couple of innings, it was an out-of-body experience,” Nastrini said. “It was everything I hoped it to be. It was fun. That’s all I can really say about it. I don’t really have a whole lot of words to describe it because there’s not really words I can use to describe it. That’s how fun it was. I had a great time out there.” The No. 8 prospect in the organization according to MLB.com, Nastrini allowed two runs on three hits while striking out five and walking t...

At least 19 women in nine states reportedly became sick after they got Botox, either having gotten the injections from people who were never licensed or trained to give the shots or received them in "non-healthcare settings," including homes or spas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday.Nine of the 19 patients were hospitalized, the CDC said. Four "were treated with botulism antitoxin because of concerns that the botulinum toxin could have spread beyond the injection site."Botox uses a purified form of a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin that prevents muscles from moving for a period of time. The product is often used to prevent or ease facial wrinkles. When the toxin is found in food, it can lead to widespread paralysis and even death.But when it is injected careful...

Fox News Digital spoke with Dr. Arthur L. Jenkins, III, board-certified neurosurgeon and founder of Jenkins NeuroSpine in New York City, about the importance of good posture and how to achieve it.

In a TikTok video that has been watched more than 6 million times, Kati Morton, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Santa Monica, Calif., lists signs that she says can be indicative of “eldest daughter syndrome.”Among them: an intense feeling of familial responsibility, people-pleasing tendencies and resentment toward your siblings and parents.On X, a viral post asks: “are u happy or are u the oldest sibling and also a girl”?Firstborn daughters are having a moment in the spotlight, at least online, with memes and think pieces offering a sense of gratification to responsible, put-upon big sisters everywhere. But even mental health professionals like Ms. Morton — herself the youngest in her family — caution against putting too much stock in the psychology of sibling birth order, and...

Dr. David Egilman, a physician and expert witness who, over a 35-year span, gave testimony in some 600 trials involving corporate malfeasance, resulting in billions of dollars in awards for victims and their survivors, died on April 2 at his home in Foxborough, Mass. He was 71.The cause was cardiac arrest, his son Alex said.Many medical experts make a side business in court, offering their informed opinions on the witness stand and helping to validate or undermine plaintiffs’ claims. But few make it a career-long passion in the way Dr. Egilman did. He taught at Brown University and ran a private practice but spent most of his time consulting and testifying in as many as 15 cases a year.He did more than just opine from the stand. A dogged researcher, he dug up incriminating emails and memo...

When I was a kid, the prospect of a week without bread at Passover was a daunting one. What would my mom make me that I would eat? Matzoh pizza was often the answer.Matzoh is an unleavened bread, essentially a cracker, that is eaten during the Jewish holiday to commemorate the Jews’ exodus from ancient Egypt when they hurriedly left without waiting for their bread to rise. So, the holiday prohibits the consumption of bread made with yeast, as well as many other baked goods. (You can still have flour in the form of matzoh and related products, as long as they are certified kosher for Passover, which is different from everyday kosher guidelines.)Get the recipe: Matzoh PizzaTo satisfy cravings for foods we can’t have during the holiday — “chametz” is the technical term — we often try to re-c...
