Ask Amy: This dispute over her dogs is threatening our friendship

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

Dear Amy: I’ve been friends with “Carol” since third grade.She has a condo in Florida, and I try to visit her once a year. Her husband died a year ago, so she’s been alone.Before this year’s visit, she told me that she had a man in her life and that he would “be around” while I was there.Well, he was around, constantly, always calling, always wanting to be with us.The first night I was there, she went and stayed overnight with him, leaving me with her two irritating dogs, who barked and whined all night long.I told her in the morning, and she apologized, but still stayed at his place every night I was there, leaving me with the dogs.I am happy for my friend that she found a new guy. I didn’t mind her staying at his place at night. My problem is that she couldn’t go five days without him being around constantly, so I could enjoy my vacation with my friend.And she left me with her dogs every night while they barked constantly.This has caused a problem with our friendship.She seems mad...

El poderoso huracán Lee creará condiciones peligrosas a lo largo de la costa este, independientemente de su incierta trayectoria final

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

(CNN) — El huracán Lee permanece a cientos de kilómetros al este del Caribe este sábado por la noche, pero los meteorólogos dicen que los efectos del huracán podrían tener un impacto en la costa atlántica de Estados Unidos ya este fin de semana.Lee estaba a 458 kilómeros al noreste del norte de las Islas de Sotavento a las 11 p.m. hora del este de EE.UU. de este sábado, provocando vientos máximos sostenidos de 169 km/h, según el Centro Nacional de Huracanes. Se espera que el huracán de categoría 2, que anteriormente alcanzó la categoría 5, mantenga su fuerza este sábado y se fortalezca durante el fin de semana.Todavía es demasiado pronto para determinar si el núcleo de la tormenta impactará directamente el territorio continental de EE.UU., pero se espera que Lee genere corrientes y grandes olas en la mayor parte de la costa este de los Estados Unidos este domingo y este lunes y empeore a lo largo de la semana, dijo el centro de huracanes.“Se espera que se desarrollen con...

Dental partnership puts free smiles on Montgomery Co. and DC seniors’ faces

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

When 64-year-old Gale Williams’ dentist would no longer take her insurance two years ago, she switched her dental care to the Mary’s Center — a community clinic located in D.C. and Montgomery County, Maryland.“I got the basic dental care, cleanings twice a year and fillings,” Williams told WTOP.But a few months ago, she needed a partial lower denture, which required five visits filled with X-rays, molds and a payment plan.“At the end of the last appointment, they said ‘You know you don’t have to pay,'” Williams said, of her $800 copay. “No pay. I couldn’t believe it.”The Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Delta Dental of California insurance company, picked up the tab. Dentists at the Mary’s Center and Howard University College of Dentistry completed the work. The three organizations have teamed up on a five-year pilot partnership designed to offer free or low-cost dental care to people 6...

Daily Showers and Storms and High Humidity this Week

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

Well Saturday sure reminded us that we are still in the midst of rainy season with the daily downpours back in the forecast.That will be the story this week with that risk for sea-breeze-driven, scattered showers and storms possible each and every day this week. Rain chances will hold at a 30-50% into next weekend as a result of more moisture in place.For our Sunday, I don’t see it being as wet as it was on Saturday. Expect morning sunshine and mostly dry conditions, then the risk for afternoon storms, especially across Broward County and inland areas of mainland South Florida. High temperatures this Sunday will be a degree or two warmer into the low to mid 90s due to more of a delayed start to the storms.Highs the rest of this new week will remain on the hot side, reaching 94F in Miami on Wednesday and Thursday before it drops back down to the low 90s by next weekend. With the high humidity in place, it will feel closer to the triple-digits — if not warmer!For the start...

Musk biographer tries to ‘clarify’ details on Starlink in Ukraine after outcry

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

Elon Musk biographer Walter Isaacson took to social media to try to “clarify” an excerpt in his upcoming book that detailed how Musk purportedly thwarted a planned Ukrainian drone strike.The extract, which describes how Musk told his engineers to disable Starlink satellite communications near Russian-occupied Crimea last year to frustrate an attack on Russian warships, had faced fierce backlash since being published on Thursday.“The Ukrainians THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not,” Isaacson said in a post on Saturday. Instead, he said, military officials asked the billionaire entrepreneur to enable coverage for the drone attack. “Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war,” the author added.But the original excerpt published in the Washington Post said that Musk “secretly told his engineers to turn off coverage within 100 kilometers of the Crimean coast...

Sunday stays warm and humid with storms

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

Good morning! We have areas of fog and some mist this morning. As previous mornings, you’ll be able to feel the humidity as you step outside. The morning is the best time to target “drier” hours with shower and storm chances increasing this afternoon and evening.A stationary front is still draped across New England. It has retrograded, but as it moves south through the day it’ll continue to bring the threat of storms. Some thick fog developed overnight. As we increase the space between our temperatures and dew points, visibility will improve. We’ll still have other layers of clouds, so today we’ll see more clouds than sun. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s/near 80. The chance for showers and storms increases early afternoon and lingers through the evening. With the strongest parts of the storms, there could be downpours, frequent cloud to ground lightning and strong wind. If you hear thunder, that’s your cue to get inside and seek shelte...

Ladies once had their day at Chicago’s ballparks

Published Tue, 25 Feb 2025 22:03:13 GMT

In 1919, three years after National League officials stepped in to stop the Chicago Cubs’ plans for a Ladies Day promotion, the team ran an advertisement over the signature of the club’s president asking:“When your husband comes home in the evening in a laughing jovial mood and tells you he was out at Cubs Park and saw those same Cubs whale this or that team, did you ever attempt to picture in your own mind just what scenes he has witnessed?“Well don’t try. Come out on Friday afternoon as the guest of the Cubs and see with your own eyes the scenes that have such a fascination for your husbands, your brothers, your sons, your sweethearts.”Ladies Day promotions once had been common. Charles Weeghman used Ladies Day to promote the Chicago Whales, his team in the Federal League, an upstart rival to the National and American Leagues that lasted only a couple of years in the early 20th century.When the league failed in 1915, Weeghman bought the Chicago ...
