DEAR ABBY: My dear friend “Rose’s” husband died five years ago, and since then she has struggled with grief and loneliness. She immersed herself in her church, friends and family. We usually talked three to five times per week and we traveled together.
DEAR ABBY: I have been raising my daughter’s first child. “Joey” is 10, and he has been living with my husband and me full time for four years. I love him very much and enjoy being his “mom,” but I’m not good at helping him with homework. My daughter doesn’t have time for him. She has two other kids with a different dad. The stepdad has no desire to be a dad to Joey.

Joe Biden declared war on American energy the day he took office. He has fulfilled his campaign promise to shut down American oil and gas production, sending energy prices soaring – an act of pure cruelty towards American families struggling to make ends meet. To combat sky-high energy costs, Biden must reverse course and dramatically increase leasing, exploration, and production of oil and gas here at home.
This is in reference to the article on the Phillips Respironics CPAP machines. I had one of these machines that were recalled and went through the process of registering with Phillips for a new machine.
