Ask Amy: Is it petty of me to feel like I’m being used?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:57:57 GMT

Dear Amy: On several occasions I have lent my former co-worker “Cal” a portable oxygen concentrator that was used by my deceased husband.Cal’s wife, whom I have never met, requires nearly full-time oxygen use, and the concentrator makes her frequent trips out of state to visit family much easier than hauling canisters, which is the only alternative her insurance provides.The concentrator also enables her to fly on these trips, as canisters are mostly prohibited by airlines.The last time he borrowed it was six months ago. I had forgotten I gave it to him, but I texted him a couple of months ago to check in.Before I could mention it, he apologized for not contacting me and asked if his wife could use it one more time in the following week, and then he would bring it back. I said of course.That was the last time I heard from him.Related ArticlesAdvice | Ask Amy: He sends my wife distressing letters, and the lawyer says there’s nothing we can do Advice | ...

ASK IRA: Are Heat in need of a steadying influence?

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:57:57 GMT

Q: How can you be the Sun Sentinel basketball expert with expert opinions like Kyle Lowry is going to return to lead the Heat? Do you actually watch the games or just stuff your face with hotdogs? – Alan.A: Actually, if you happened to be walking by on Wednesday night, you would have noticed I was stuffing my face with a donut, but that’s another story (the Heat only offer hot dogs in the media food room on weekends). And just because my business card reads “Basketball Expert,” I wouldn’t necessarily get caught up in the hype. In all seriousness, though, it became clear with Wednesday night’s 24 turnovers that the Heat need a steadying force for the types of games that Erik Spoelstra refers to as being “in the mud.” So there are two ways to look at Kyle Lowry’s impending return: 1. That the knee will remain an ongoing issue, limiting his efficiency to what he was before he took the past month off. 2. Or that Kyle will return refr...

Thursday marked three weeks until the Orioles begin the regular season at Fenway Park. Spring training to this point has done little to calcify the decisions they’ll have to make in that time.The club’s first cuts of the spring Thursday did little to alter the competitions in camp.The Orioles have made it through spring training relatively healthy to this point, which is manager Brandon Hyde’s emphasis whenever roster battles are discussed. Unless there are any changes in that regard — certainly a possibility with three weeks of games left — the majority of their roster appears largely set.Still, some of Baltimore’s 26 roster spots are up for grabs, and candidates have spent the first two weeks of exhibition games trying to grab them.Starting pitchers (5): Kyle Gibson, Dean Kremer, Kyle Bradish, Cole Irvin, Grayson RodriguezThis ordering largely aligns with how the Orioles have set their rotation for exhibitions, with the exception of Tyler Wells ...
