Ask Amy: This lack of gratitude has a disturbing past

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 20:50:09 GMT

Dear Amy: I have three children, ages 38, 41, and 52.The two youngest have children under the age of 10.Every year I give the children thousands of dollars. I give my oldest three times as much because she has been ill for several years, even though she refuses to see a traditional doctor.None of my children acknowledge my gifts. The middle child will thank me if I ask if the money has shown up in the children’s accounts.This is complicated by a car accident when my eldest, while she was high on drugs, killed a woman and her baby.She went to jail for four years. I visited her on weekends, taking away time from the other two. We had to move to another city to avoid death threats to our family, mostly to the children.The youngest two still don’t speak to her.Now my oldest isn’t speaking to me because I “favor her siblings.”I don’t expect gratitude, but an acknowledgment would be nice.I have had years of therapy, but my children refuse to get any.Do I have any options, aside from stopp...

Bridge: July 24, 2023

“The meaning of life is to find your gift; the purpose of life is to give it away.” — Picasso“Some people are born with the gift of ‘card sense,'” a club player told me. “They can visualize and manipulate card arrays. I can’t do it.”“Card sense can be developed,” I said.My friend played at today’s 3NT. West led a spade in response to East’s light overcall.“I played dummy’s queen, and East played the ten. I started the diamonds next, and West won and led another spade, forcing out my ace. When East took the ace of diamonds, he took three spades. My partner says I have the card sense of a carrot.”FIRST SPADEIt’s a tough deal. On the first spade, South must play low from both hands. If East continues spades, South wins and starts the diamonds, and since East has only one entry, he can’t use his long spades.If East shifts to a club at Trick Two, South must guess to duck in both ha...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 20:50:09 GMT

Caicedo already had made her debut for Colombian professional team América de Cali and the Colombian senior women’s national team.With this news, though, her soccer career seemed over.“I remember I was going into surgery one day and I was feeling really bad,” Caicedo said, “because I thought that I was not going to be able to play top-level football again.”The Colombian women’s team head coach, Nelson Abadía, provided words of encouragement over the phone.“He said, ‘No, just relax,’” Caicedo recalled. “‘You’re going to come back.’”She’s now one of the best young players in the world.The 18-year-old Caicedo is expected to make her Women’s World Cup debut in Colombia’s opener against South Korea on Tuesday at the Sydney Football Stadium.To those battling cancer, Caicedo has a message: “I am an example that you can get out of that a...

ANÁLISIS | Así es cómo Trump manipula a sus rivales republicanos con una posición tortuosa sobre sus batallas legales

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 20:50:09 GMT

(CNN) — Incluso si el expresidente Donald Trump es acusado por tercera vez, es poco probable que su dominio de la carrera republicana por la Casa Blanca se vea afectado debido a sus años de destruir la confianza de sus votantes en las instituciones que desafían su poder.El principal candidato republicano ha maniobrado a sus principales rivales en una posición imposible: un tortuoso acto de equilibrio entre tratar de aprovechar las responsabilidades de Trump sin alejar a sus devotos seguidores en las primarias.Si no critican sus múltiples desventuras, ignoran un factor que podría socavar al posible candidato a las elecciones generales de su partido. Pero hasta ahora no hay señales de que los al menos dos y posiblemente más juicios que se ciernen sobre Trump convenzan a la mayoría de los votantes de las primarias republicanas de que es demasiado arriesgado para postularlo a la presidencia de EE.UU.La habilidad del expresidente para convertir la batalla de las primarias republica...
