CLINTON’S HISTORY 10, 20, 30 AND 40 YEARS AGO
Dear Doctors: I keep seeing stories in the news about people who went for a hike and died because of the heat.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My younger sister and I are planning on taking a vacation together, and she expects me to pay for her portion of the trip. She is 22 years old, and I am 30. While I want to spend quality time with her and make this trip memorable, I feel it’s unfair for me to bear the entire financial burden. My sister is currently working part-time and still in college, while I have a stable job and a steady income. However, I believe she should contribute to the expenses in some way, even if it’s a smaller portion.
It has now been more than two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee. It’s always hard to get a quick handle on public reaction to a huge event like that, but after a couple of weeks, the news has had time to sink in with voters, and it’s time to start looking at some new polling.
Dear Doctors: I am 45 years old and have sudden sensorineural hearing loss that is significant. There is no known cause. I’m told that the only option now or in the future is a cochlear implant. How do they work? How do I know if I might be a candidate for this type of treatment?
DEAR HARRIETTE: My best friend forgot my birthday this month, and I have felt so sad ever since. This year, I went all-out for her birthday and threw her a huge party, making sure every detail was perfect to show how much I care. It hurts that she couldn’t even remember when my birthday is, especially since we have been friends for six years and both live in Washington, D.C. We have shared so many important moments together, and I thought our friendship was strong and meaningful to both of us. Her forgetting my birthday has made me question how much she values our friendship.
Some of my best friends are cat people. I’m particularly indebted to our neighbor Laura, a self-described “crazy cat lady,” who took in Albert, the most unusual feline I’ve known.
Richard Hauser wanted three days off – the weekend plus the following Monday. It seemed a reasonable request. The strains of being in the White House counsel’s office during the Watergate scandal were wearing on him, and the prospect of a few days away from the troubles of Richard Nixon and the crisis that was enveloping the capital seemed inviting. But Fred Buzhardt, his boss and the man attempting to steer the 37th president through the troubled waters of Washington, made it clear: Be here Monday.
One critical concept has emerged in the contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump: Respect.
Ihaven’t gone camping in a tent in a long time.
