DEAR HARRIETTE: My best friend and I are professional ballerinas, and we’ve been dancing together since high school. We’ve been through so much together – the long rehearsals, the endless auditions, the excitement of landing roles and the disappointments. Ballet has been a huge part of our lives, and we’ve always shared that passion.
Kamala Harris has shrewdly resisted pressures from the left to adopt policies that might alienate moderate swing voters. But on one issue, the Democratic nominee has bowed to liberal orthodoxy: advocating an end to the Senate filibuster, which requires 60 votes to pass most bills.
The corn was planted late. We knew that at the time.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My mom is about to turn 60, which is a huge milestone, and my dad doesn’t seem to be planning anything special for her. She’s always been the one who goes above and beyond for everyone else in the family, so my siblings and I thought it would be nice for her to have a relaxing spa day. She absolutely loves going to the spa, and we figured it would be a thoughtful gift from my dad, something that shows how much he appreciates her. We suggested this idea to him a few weeks ago, and he initially agreed it was a great plan. The issue now is that instead of taking the lead and arranging everything, my dad has started asking us to step in and help organize the whole thing. He’s even asking if we can chip in financially to cover the cost of the spa package.
It is impossible to count the number of times we stop each year to celebrate and commemorate special occasions.

Dear Doctors: My niece and nephew, ages 5 and 9, will be living with my wife and me this year. We have a good pediatrician for their vaccinations and checkups. What other health-related tasks should we be thinking about?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I’m afraid my past embarrassing moments will make my boyfriend see me in a different light. I’ve been dating “Bryan” for two years now, and he is insisting on coming to my hometown to meet my friends, as I have met his. We both live in the city where we work, but I grew up as an overweight kid in a low-income household with neglectful parents.
