Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 17:02:59 GMT
Dear Amy: I’m a 53-year-old woman. Because of a stressful job I’ve had for the last 20 years, I have some friends, but making new ones can be a struggle when I’ve had to work 14- to 17-hour days.More recently, I’ve tried to reach out to two women I’ve known for a while. Sadly, they both have kept their distance — one actually waited until the day after I asked her to lunch, apologizing for “missing my text.”I was stung by the brush-off, but tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and waited to see if she might reciprocate the invitation. She didn’t.I finally decided that I needed to change my lifestyle, sold my old house and am buying a small place in a very sunny popular tourist town I’ve always loved.My friends have been congratulatory and supportive, including the two women who have been brushing me off.They’ve both reached out (separately, they’re not friends with one another) with sincere questions about when I can host them and their families for a visit.Amy, I haven’...NextGenerationEU: Commission receives first payment request from Ireland for €323.8 million under the Recovery and Resilience Facility

Dobbins for the rest of the season

BALTIMORE (AP) — With J.K. Dobbins lost for the season because of a torn Achilles tendon, the Baltimore Ravens are again facing some major questions about their backfield.That injury did not prevent them from opening the season with a double-digit win.Justice Hill scored twice in the second half after Dobbins’ exit, and the Ravens pulled away for a 25-9 victory over Houston on Sunday. Baltimore managed only 265 total yards and Lamar Jackson turned the ball over twice, but the Ravens’ defense kept C.J. Stroud and the Texans out of the end zone.“There’s so many things that we need to work on and get better at, and that’s what we’ll do starting on Monday,” coach John Harbaugh said. “I’m excited with the win. I’m proud of the way the guys played.”Dobbins ran for an early touchdown before leaving with his injury, which Harbaugh said after the game would cost him the rest of the season. He had 22 yards on eight carries. Jac...China está considerando prohibir la ropa que “hiera los sentimientos” de la nación

(CNN) — El cuerpo legislativo de China propuso cambios a una ley que, de ser aprobada, permitiría a las autoridades multar y detener a personas que vistan ropa que “hiriera los sentimientos de la nación”, lo que generó nuevas preocupaciones sobre la libertad de expresión en el país.El Comité Permanente del Congreso Nacional del Pueblo, que dio a conocer la propuesta en su sitio web a principios de septiembre de 2023, busca prohibir prendas y símbolos considerados “perjudiciales para el espíritu de la nación china” (frase utilizada a menudo para denotar patriotismo o falta de él).La redacción del proyecto de enmienda recuerda el lenguaje utilizado por Beijing para frenar la libertad de expresión en el país o para contraatacar los desaires percibidos por parte de países y empresas extranjeras.Esto le sigue a una serie de medidas drásticas contra el estilo personal en los últimos años, incluidas regulaciones de transmisión destinadas a desterrar a los artistas con “estilos afemin...Latest news
