Ask Amy: Family tragedy leads to unfounded accusation
Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 16:20:59 GMT
Dear Amy: Two years ago, my family experienced the tragedy of a homicide-suicide by a beloved family member.It was a difficult time for all.The evening of the night it happened, I was there and am believed to be the last person to have seen them alive.I am in therapy now, but I really struggled with this.Last year, we held a beautiful memorial tribute to our deceased family members. Many people came in from out of town, and I opened my home over that week as a place to gather.Over dinner with my husband, my daughter, my cousin, and my sibling’s family, the conversation turned to the timeline of that night.My husband unfortunately drank too much, and my cousin took offense.She began to needle him verbally, and he barked at her.I was furious with him that evening and did my best to smooth it over with her.In my mind, her actions were less wrong; she was grieving and has had a negative experience with someone in her life related to alcohol.I have forgiven my husband. He’s hurting...Antitrust: Commission sends Statement of Objections to Pierre Cardin and its licensee Ahlers over distribution and licensing practices for clothing

My name’s Friday.We got a call about a scam at a Hollywood club. We checked it out. The suspect was still playing. One of his opponents spoke with us.“It was terrible, officer.”“Just the facts, ma’am.”“That man sitting West swindled us out of a slam. At six spades, my partner took the king of diamonds and led a trump to her jack — and West played low without a hitch.”SECOND TRUMPSouth went back to dummy and led a second trump to her ten, and this time West won and returned a trump. South could win only 11 tricks. If West wins the first trump, South can set up her fifth club with two ruffs in dummy.“He’s a con artist. Cuff him!”We let West off. South mismanaged the trumps. She should not try a second finesse but must take the ace and set u...Horoscopes Aug. 2, 2023: Sam Worthington, navigate your way to victory
