NEW YORK (AP) — Don’t look for plastic partitions or faraway benches when visiting Santa Claus this year. The jolly old elf is back, pre-pandemic style, and he’s got some pressing issues on his mind.
Dear Dr. Roach: I am an 86-year-old woman who was recently diagnosed with follicular lymphoma, stage 3A. It was discovered on a CAT scan when I went to the ER for diverticulitis. I have no symptoms. The doctor did a biopsy to confirm, and I had a PET scan as well.
Dear Abby: I became engaged to a wonderful man five months ago. We have set a wedding date for next year. I’m ecstatic -- thrilled to be planning such an important milestone in my life. I’m the youngest of five girls. Four of us are extremely close. Three of my sisters have graciously offered to help with the wedding planning and preparation. I have included them in my bridal party -- matron of honor, two bridesmaids, and two of my teenage nieces as junior bridesmaids.
Dear Abby: Fifteen years ago, I “ran away from home” to get away from my adult children, and I finally made a life for myself. They were able to stay in the house because I continued to pay the mortgage. Their dad -- my ex -- and his family all lived nearby.
Dear Dr. Roach: My girlfriend had a routine gynecological exam and a colposcopy, and was positive for HPV 6 and had something called CIN1. She was told to come back in a year. Do I need to worry about this?
The home at 1212 North Woods Street is the perfect example of how a classic home can be transformed into a modern masterpiece without sacrificing character or charm. It was built in 1918 and still boasts original wood flooring, ceilings, wood paneling and even the original glass doorknobs. There’s also a restored wood-burning fireplace and lots of shiplap that has been brought back to life.
Today is Sunday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2022.
If you’re growing fig trees where temperatures drop below freezing for extended periods, then an ounce of protection can be worth a pound (or more!) of figs. Native to Mediterranean Europe, Asia and Africa, most mature fig trees can tolerate temperatures down to about 20 degrees.
Dear Neil: This summer the right side of my tree looked shorter and less filled out than the left side. Some of the leaves on the right side turned yellow early or else that side is dying. Is this a temporary condition due to the 2021 cold, or is my tree dying and about to split in two? (I don’t know what type of tree it is.)
Spouses share a lot, but no matter your relationship status, your credit score belongs to you and you alone. Even if you’re 100% supported financially by your spouse or partner, establishing and building your own credit score is essential.
