Dear Amy:
My brother and I are both in our 70s. We’ve only spoken once in the last three years.
We lived miles apart for much of our lives, but still kept in touch.
After our father passed, our mother sold their home. My father had previously told my brother that when they sold the house, he wanted to give a certain amount of money to each of us.
Our mother did not honor our father’s wishes, but did give us each a smaller amount. Years later she deposited a good sum of money into his account but asked him not to tell me. (I wouldn’t have cared at all.)
Mom later called the bank and asked for t ..read more

Living life is a journey that can be challenging at times; understanding it can be pretty mind-boggling. It requires belief and faith to guide us through the ups and downs of reality, especially in the worst times. To truly understand, we must first have a belief system that allows us to see the bigger picture and its deeper meaning. Instead of just relying on logic, reasoning, and Intelligence Quotient (IQ), we must have faith in something greater than ourselves to guide our actions and decisions. This way, we can live in profound truth and use and experience Spiritual Quotient (SQ).

Dear Amy:
I have a neighbor who was previously convicted of a sexual offense involving a “child.” He served time in jail.
I don’t know the exact circumstances, but I do understand that the term “child” may include a person as young as an infant and as old as a teenager.
The sexual offender is married with two young children.
I know that he and his wife want to keep his history private.
However, the other neighbors around where I live are not aware of the situation and their kids play and interact with the sexual offender’s family.
Do I need to inform the unknowing neighbors about his status as ..read more

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s tough week showed as well as any to date why he is facing a new and unprecedented reality as a presidential candidate — as he ping-ponged among a dizzying array of court appearances, judicial rulings, competing allegations and subsequent grievances.
By Thursday, he was complaining about the overlap in his busy legal schedule, railing that Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is presiding over his hush-money case in New York, wouldn’t let him leave that trial to attend a Supreme Court hearing in Washington, D.C ..read more

In Humphreys County, Mississippi — about 70 miles north of the state capital, in the heart of the fertile Delta region — a third of the residents live in poverty. In Belzoni, the county seat, there are just a handful of health care clinics. The town’s only major hospital closed more than a decade ago, around the same time its catfish industry collapsed.
Jobs in the area are scarce, said Wardell Walton, who was mayor of Belzoni from 2005 to 2013. But even if there were jobs, he said, a lot of Belzoni residents wouldn’t be able to get to them — they don’t own c ..read more
