I’m breathing through my mouth right now, which apparently makes it hard to be witty (and to type something without having to correct it a lot), so no column today. I plan to be back at it next week.
Now debate the etymology of “mouth-breather” as an insult. Go!

As a doctor (albeit a PhD), I prescribe: Hot Toddy.
Be well.

Thanks, Earl!
Can’t do alcohol, but I may do my Zarbee’s (honey, elderberry and melatonin) tonight.

I thought “mouth breather” meant a stupid and unintelligent person. Brenda you seem to be too intelligent, smart, and well-educated to be classified as a so-called “mouth breather”.

Do you need a new nose? UAMS has some surgeons-in-training who would be glad to fix you up with a new nose.
