Iwas encouraged by the latest report from the State Department of Human Services that the Developmental Disabilities Services Waitlist is on track to be eliminated by next summer.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My niece is enrolled in her third college in three years, and I am nervous that she is wasting her time and money. She started off at a school in Texas playing soccer. After many issues with her coach and teammates, she decided not to play for them the next school year and ended up leaving the college. She moved back to our home state of Ohio and went to a community college but decided it was too small for her. Now she is at our state school, and it seems as if she will stick it out.
WOODSTOCK, N.H. — It's over. Donald Trump is the inevitable Republican presidential nominee. No, it's not. Trump is too flawed — and lately too nutty — to be the Republicans' standard-bearer.
Hello, dear readers, and welcome to a bonus letters column. We're working our way through a bonanza of mail and will continue to respond to as many of your notes and emails as possible. — We'll begin with a thank you to the many — so many! — of you who wrote in response to a column on time-restricted eating. You pointed out that we misidentified LDL, also known as low-density lipoproteins. This is, as you correctly pointed out, the so-called 'bad' cholesterol. LDL contributes to the buildup of fatty debris in the arteries. This causes the vessels to become narrow, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis. The 'good' cholesterol is HDL, or highdensity lipoprotein. It absorbs cholesterol in the blood and delivers it to the liver for disposal. High levels of HDL can play a role in lowering the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Chris Sununu, the popular Republican governor of New Hampshire, says Donald Trump 'cannot mathematically win in November' of next year. Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor now running for the Republican nomination, uses three words to describe Trump: 'Loser, loser, loser.'
Isee him painting every afternoon.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm a brand-new mother. Recently, I've been receiving a lot of comments from friends and family about how much my infant daughter looks like her father. I'm sure these comments are meant to be a harmless observation, but I find them annoying and a bit hurtful. After all, I carried my child for nine months and would have liked her to resemble me a bit more. Am I overreacting? Should I just take the comments and let them go? Or should I confront people about their seemingly thoughtless remarks? Any advice would be appreciated. — New Mom DEAR NEW MOM: Take a deep breath and step back a moment. Someone once told me that it is a good thing when an infant looks like their dad because it helps the dad feel connected to the newborn. There’s an undeniable and deep connection between mother and child for the very reason you pointed out. Consider it a blessing that the child looks like her dad.
The country singer Jason Aldean has a No. 1 hit with 'Try That in a Small Town.' Made news because Country Music Television won't play the video due to its threatening nature. Aldean is a Trump fan, so it's brought out predictable right vs. left defenses and condemnations. But it's not that simple. It's an opportunity to look at 1985 vs. 2023 and take some lessons from the relatively recent past.
As an emerging American voice, the Rev. Jerry Falwell visited South Carolina in 1980 to promote his new Moral Majority network, while urging evangelicals to back Ronald Reagan instead of President Jimmy Carter, a Southern Baptist.
