Dear Abby: My daughter lived in my garage apartment, but then married and moved. His sister is in the Law School in another state, and his brother is just a party at the postgraduate school. I moved enough to see them when they came to visit their hometown and their mother.
My ex -wife is flying to both outside the state for a visit, and I asked him if he could take them to lunch or dinner one of the days here. She replied that because she paid for flights, you can’t let me have time with them. (It seems to have forgotten that it owes me more money than he spent to fly to the children).
The last time I asked her, she said she could come from home to see them, but that was all. Because he is being so unpleasant about this, I would not feel comfortable. I guess I’m ventilating because there really is nothing I can do. Any idea about how not to feel bad about this? – Sad dad in Texas
Dear Dad: Your children are not “children.” They are adults now. If you want to see them while they are in the city, you don’t need to ask your ex -wife. Retreats directly and ask what they would like to do. From his description of his relationship with his ex, it is clear that he is not friendly, but do not let that stop you. He did not mention how close his bond with his son and his height, but it is not also also working to improve it.
Dear Abby: Since I have memory, I have eaten my meals an item at the same time. I know this is different from the way most people do. I have observed that most people eat a bite of each meal on their dish joined. In the past I tried to combine my food, but I do not enjoy the flavor as much as the issue of eating.
When as my eggs around half, I cut white and as first. Then I pick up the yolks without breaking them and as with a delicious bite. When I was growing, my dad suggested that I combine my food, but he never forced me to do it.
I am retired now, and once a week I will have breakfast with a friend who looks at me to eat my eggs and batteries or be eccentric. Should I change the way in public, or do I have the right to be comfortable? Am I eccentric? – One at the same time in California
Dear one at the same time: If you think you are alone in eating each element separately, let me sacrifice some comfort when telling it, it is exactly what Yo Thu – including cutting the whites of the eggs. Maybe we are both “eccentric” (or we have a touch of TOC), but devils, who cares? That’s all our Food, and we will enjoy the way we want!
To my readers: For those who celebrate Easter, I wish everyone a significant and memorable day. Happy Easter, all. – Love, Abby
