Dear Doctors: I caught a cold and was sick for about a week. There wasn't anything unusual about it except now I have a dry cough that won't go away.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently found an expensive ring that my ex-boyfriend loaned me. I was stressed about it for a while because it was not a gift and I could not locate it when we broke up. I went for a walk with my current boyfriend and my best friend and expressed my happiness about finally finding the ring. My boyfriend made a joke about posting a photo of him wearing my ex's ring, and my best friend and I immediately shut it down. We had not ended on bad terms, so I found it disrespectful to taunt my ex like that, but my boyfriend, who does not particularly get along with my ex, did not see it as an issue.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My oldest sister is hardly talking to my dad because of an incident that resulted in him breaking her car and costing her thousands of dollars. This happened back in October 2022, and the mistake left my sister without a car for weeks in the city she had just moved to in Rhode Island. She is having a difficult time forgiving my dad. She told him multiple times to pull over because she heard something wrong with her car, but he refused. This was her first car, which she had bought only a few weeks before the incident, and this strain on their relationship has caused our family a lot of stress and drama.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I feel stuck in life right now because I am hearing a lot of 'no’s' from opportunities that I am applying to. I had a lot of goals this past year, and I didn't meet a few of them due to the fact that I got rejected. As a goal-oriented person, I am disappointed in myself, and I feel that if I had better interviewing skills and more leadership experience, I would've gotten yeses from these specific programs.
Throngs of people, most wearing white clothing and many adorned in traditional Sikh attire, gathered in the Jemez mountains of New Mexico in June 2019. The occasion was the summer solstice. Those who came to celebrate were part of a community started in the U.S. in 1969 by an Indian Sikh man named Harbhajan Singh Puri, who later became known as Yogi Bhajan or Siri Singh Sahib. Puri was a Punjabi Sikh who had worked as a customs agent in India before moving to Canada and then to the U.S. He gained a following while teaching yoga in the U.S.
