Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm having an issue at work, and I hope you and your dilemma can help. I got a new job and one of my coworkers is an older gentleman who has worked for the company for like 40 years. He kind of reminds me of my grandfather and I know he doesn’t mean any harm, but he says the most inappropriate things all the time. It makes me a little uncomfortable and I know I’m not the only one. I feel like it’s only a matter of time before he gets himself fired for saying something to a coworker who doesn’t know he’s only kidding. I would love to protect him from that, but I don’t know how to approach the subject. Should I just mind my own business or try and help him see that he has to censor himself if he wants to continue working here? Thanks so much.MaddieWell, I guess I woul...

Ask Amy: A mother yearns for a simple “thumbs up”

Ask Amy: A mother yearns for a simple “thumbs up” Dear Amy: My adult daughter (married, no children) lives a few hundred miles from where I live.We visit several times a year, usually when I head down her way. It’s always enjoyable.That said, text messages are an important lifeline and communal experience.Frankly, I’m getting fed up with her inability to somehow confirm with me that she’s received my texts — even with a “thumbs up” icon.I’ve made an effort over the years to chalk it up to her personal style and to be forgiving of the distractions of life.She doesn’t have a 9-to-5 job and has stretches of time between work projects. I don’t text her daily, so it’s not like I’m inundating her with irritating updates.I’d expect at least a simple response when I text a couple of times a month, and it’s disturbing to me that she never answers.This behavior also extends to any phone messages.When I’m visiting her, she responds quickly to texts or phone calls with friends, so I’d wager it’s not a systemic attitude.We’re on good term...

Bridge: July 10, 2023 “My husband’s an attractive man,” a club player told me, “but I didn’t marry him for his looks — especially the ones he’s been giving me at the bridge table.”She had been today’s West.“My husband was East. Against four hearts I cashed the K-A of spades. My hubby played the deuce and then the ten. His ten looked like a suit-preference signal, showing diamond strength, so I led the jack of diamonds next.”HIGH RUFFS“South took the ace, led a club to the ace and ruffed a club high. He got to dummy with the seven and eight of trumps to ruff two more clubs high and went to the jack of trumps to pitch a diamond on the good fifth club. Making four.

The defense will always get any diamond tricks they have coming — unless South sets up dummy’s long club for a discard. At Trick Three, West must lead a trump, removing a vi...
