Ask Amy: Is my rule about streaming entertainment foolish?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:43 GMT

Dear Amy: I am a retired woman in my late 60s who is an avid reader.For some reason I created a rule that reading during the day is acceptable, whereas watching even a very good show or series on a streaming service is somehow the behavior of someone who has “given up” and is wasting time during the day.I think this is because my elderly aunt would sit in her Barcalounger and watch soap operas during the day. I don’t want to turn into someone like that.There are so many great shows now, however, and only so many hours in the evening.I’d appreciate your thoughts.BetwixtRelated ArticlesAdvice | Ask Amy: My friends walked out of the funeral, and I was frozen in shock Advice | Ask Amy: Do I owe allegiance to my bullheaded husband?

Harriette Cole: I never asked him to solve my problems but he won’t back off

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:43 GMT

DEAR HARRIETTE: Every time I try to tell my husband about something, he jumps in almost before I get out a sentence and starts trying to solve the situation for me.This is infuriating. I don’t need him to solve anything. I need him to listen.When I stop him and ask him to let me get my story out, he interrupts and tells me he understands the gist of what I am saying and doesn’t need me to go into detail. Instead, he feels the need to tell me what to do, something that he is certain will make the problem go away.That could be true, in the end, but what I need at the moment is for him to listen to me.When he has something happen to him, I have to listen as he drones on and on about the situation. I do it, though, because I know he needs to get it out. Why can’t he give me the same courtesy? This is really frustrating.Please ListenRelated ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: How do I tell him we’ll never be housemates? Advice | Harriette C...

‘We’re watching:’ Md. Attorney General eyes housing discrimination

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:53:43 GMT

Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown wants to protect renters from discriminatory landlords in the Old Line State, but so far, the law has tied his hands.“Up until now, the Office of the Attorney General in Maryland had a very small role in enforcing federal and state civil rights laws,” Brown told WTOP after 100 days in office.That’s because for 53 years, the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights has been the only state entity allowed to fight discrimination.But that’s expected to change once Maryland Gov. Wes Moore signs the Civil Rights Enforcement bill (SB 540). The bill gives Maryland’s top prosecutor the power to protect residents from civil rights violations.“I’ll have a new tool to enforce federal and state civil rights laws to protect all Marylanders, much like I have in consumer protection,” Brown said.A report in 2022 found that more than 400 housing discrimination complaints were investigated by the Maryland Commission on ...
