There was some outrage surrounding the 'Unholy' performance of Sam Smith and Kim Petras at the Grammys, which involved Smith dressing up like the devil, against a backdrop of someone's cartoonish idea of hell.
When popes talk about sex, it tends to make headlines. This was certainly true when Pope Francis told the Associated Press last month, 'Being homosexual isn't a crime.' He said the Catholic Church opposes criminalizing homosexuality and that, 'We are all children of God, and God loves us as we are.' The pope then noted that homosexual activity is 'not a crime. Yes, but it's a sin.'
ASK THE DOCTORS
DEAR HARRIETTE: One of my girlfriends asked me to set her up with one of my guy friends, so I did. She said that the date went really well, but unfortunately he wasn't as into it as she was.
Some Republicans have entreated House GOP leaders: Can’t we get rid of this guy?
Dear Doctors: I heard there's finally a good answer for why people get more colds in winter than in the summer.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My son is being bullied, and I feel powerless to help him. It brings back painful memories of when I was a kid and how much worse things got for me when my parents got involved. I fear that the same thing will happen if I try to intervene. Should I talk to my son's school or just hope he is strong enough to cope on his own?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I heard from an old friend from college the other day. I have not talked to him in about 30 years. He reached out to me on social media, asking me for help. It was a bit weird hearing from him, but I would never want to leave somebody stranded. It got awkward, though. He was direct messaging me and asking me to send him money.
From my perspective – speaking only for myself, and not as a member of my race, gender or ethnic origin – Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah had it exactly right about the national media’s ritual display of an “endless stream of videos of Black people, usually men, being brutalized by police.”
How you store your dry pet food is almost as important as what you feed your cat or dog. Be sure to keep your pet's food in the original bag, since those bags are designed to keep the food as fresh as possible. Limit exposure of pet food to air and humidity, as they can speed up the degradation process. You should never give your pet expired food, even if there's only a little bit left -- those last remnants can harbor harmful bacteria. Finally, don't mix old food with new, since adding old food can contaminate the new food.
