Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:52:59 GMT

The Angel of Hope memorial in Woodbury won’t be formally dedicated until later this month, but grieving families have already been stopping by the site near Woodbury City Hall to remember and honor their children.“We feel the peace of the children and cherish the majesty of the angel within the garden, surrounded by our children,” said Julie Rageth, who helped lead the effort for the new memorial.

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Is it okay to wear a sports bra while mowing the lawn?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:52:59 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's TRY Social dilemma came from Howard. It's about how you mow the lawn. Here's his email: Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I'm having an issue in my neighborhood and I'm hoping you'll use this as a dilemma because I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. I live in a very nice neighborhood. Most of the people here are great. But there is a couple that lives two houses down. They're middle aged, and very nice, but I'm not thrilled with something that the wife does. First off, she's the one who mows the lawn, not her husband. I don't understand why, but that's okay. But she mows the lawn in what looks like a bathing suit top, or a sports bra. I think that is so wrong. There are kids in this neighborhood. What if they see her dressed that way. If you're going to mow the lawn, cover-up. Put on a T-shirt at least. Don't you agree? Thanks for your help Jaime. Have a good day.HowardWow, is...

Dear Amy: My husband has gone skiing with seven of his male peers for 17 years.One of these friends, “Patrick,” is an alcoholic whose out-of-control behavior during previous ski trips has been difficult for them to tolerate.Last year, Patrick was so offensive and unruly during a ski trip that it was the last straw, so the guys will not be inviting him to join them again.My husband has blocked him on his phone.Although all agreed that this shunning was justified, the loss of this friend caused my husband great emotional pain.I am from a family who has suffered from generations of alcoholism. I have a low tolerance for the pain caused by that sad addiction.As a result, the shunning is not a problem for me.However, I am friends with Patrick’s wife, who knows he has been banned from the ski group for his frightening behaviors.She is choosing to continue to support him and his painful, risky lifestyle, trusting that he will recover.Although none of us share her trust in him, she is askin...

Making today’s contract looks as impossible as kissing your elbow. South is off the A-K of trumps and a spade, and when West leads the queen of clubs, the defense is on the way to winning a club trick before South can draw trumps and pitch a club from dummy on a high spade.Would you then back the defense? (By now, you may have tried unsuccessfully to kiss your elbow.)The actual South battled on. He took the king of clubs and led a spade to his queen. West won and led another club to dummy. South then came to his ace of spades and led the jack. If West ruffed with the ace of trumps, dummy would pitch a club. So West ruffed low, and dummy overruffed.FIFTH SPADESouth next led a diamond to his ace, ruffed a spade, ruffed a diamond and led the good fifth spade. Again, West couldn’t gain by ruffing. He discarded, dummy threw the last club and East ruffed.South ruffed the diamond return and led a trump. When the A-K clashed, South was home. Easier than kissing your elbow.DAILY ...

Hacked Records Corroborate Claims in Hydroxychloroquine Wrongful Death Suit

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 10:52:59 GMT

In August 2021, Jeremy Parker had a telehealth appointment through the anti-vaccine group America’s Frontline Doctors. Parker wanted hydroxychloroquine, a drug that he falsely believed could prevent or treat Covid-19, though he didn’t have any symptoms at the time. According to a lawsuit filed by Parker’s family, he spoke with Dr. Medina Culver, who wrote him a prescription. In early February 2022, Parker began having cold-like symptoms and took the drug, and the next morning, he was found dead. The cause, according to his death certificate, was “sudden death in the setting of therapeutic use of hydroxychloroquine.”Parker’s wife, Jelena Hatfield, and their three children sued AFLDS and Culver a year after his death, claiming that it “was caused by the negligence of Dr. Culver and by falsehoods spread by America’s Frontline Doctors.” The wrongful death lawsuit claims that Culver never performed a physical examination of Parker, then 52 years old, nor did she run any diagnostic tests ...
