98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Is Car Detailing a Bad Gift For Your Wife for Mother's Day?

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma comes from Harrison and it's about appropriate gifts for your spouse! Hi Jaime. I have a problem. Let’s rewind back to Mother’s Day. I gave my wife what I thought was a very nice gift…a certificate good for a complete car detailing. She’s very busy, and her SUV has started to look like an “old” car, even though it’s a 2016. I thought it would be nice to get it back to looking brand new inside. It seems that I was wrong because even after the car was worked on, and now looks like a diamond, she says it was a gift more for me…and feels like I was calling her out on her dirty car. What’s more, she’s now saying things like she “promises to take better care of it,” like I was somehow guilting her about the condition of the car. I thought I was doing something nice, but apparently, I messed up. For future reference, was this the nice gift I intended it to be, or was there really something insensitive and insulting that I just didn’t...Repair Cafe to be held in Albany on Saturday

Dear Amy: I am in my mid-20s and have a great relationship with my parents. I live nearby and see them multiple times a week.They have a large social network of other married couples as friends, many of whom I’ve known since childhood, as they were the parents of my own friends, classmates, neighborhood kids, etc.In the past couple of years, I’ve started to feel uncomfortable around one of their male friends, “Biff.”He has never done or said anything specific, but I can’t help but just feel this … icky vibe when I’m around him.It’s little things, like just leaning in too close when he talks to me, holding eye contact too long, and “teasing” in a way that if it was coming from a man my age I would perceive as definite flirting.My parents are planning a weekend vacation at the end of the summer at an Airbnb. They plan to invite several of their friend-couples, including this man and his wife.I really want to go, but I can’t shake this nagging feeling that I will be spending the weeken...Ukraine's Zelenskyy discusses peace moves with Papal envoy

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the Vatican on Tuesday (6 June) to contribute to the implementation of a Ukrainian peace plan during talks with a Papal envoy about Russia's war on Ukraine.Italian Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, tasked by Pope Francis to carry out a peace mission to try to help end the war in Ukraine, visited Kyiv to sound out the Ukrainian authorities.Zelenskyy said they discussed the situation in Ukraine and humanitarian cooperation "in the framework of the Ukrainian Peace Formula.""Only united efforts, diplomatic isolation and pressure on Russia can influence the aggressor and bring a just peace to the Ukrainian land," Zelenskiy wrote on the Telegram messaging app."I call on the Holy See to contribute to the implementation of the Ukrainian peace plan. Ukraine welcomes the readiness of other states and partners to find ways to peace, but since the war is on our territory, the algorithm for achieving peace can be Ukrainian only."Zelenskyy met the pope at the Vatican in M...Work and play with flex space

Among the many lessons of the pandemic were those from which families gleaned ways to live together, share space without tripping over each other and hopefully still get along.Now that we’re three years past the start of stay-at-home mandates, certain aspects of pandemic-style living have grown on many people. Namely, that everyone needs their own space at home and that they’re not willing to give it up just because people are no longer required to stay home all the time.Builders anticipated this scenario when planning home designs for construction from 2021 onward. In doing so, the already growing popularity of flex space gained new importance.Now, flex space in new construction homes not only refers to rooms or spaces that the homeowner can define on their own, but to rooms and spaces that can serve multiple purposes simultaneously and with ease.For some new-home buyers, flexibility means having space for two or more home offices plus a playroom or recreation room that both kids a...Bridge: June 8, 2023

“It finally happened,” Unlucky Louie exulted in the club lounge. “Harlow’s luck ran out.”While Louie labors under a cloud of unending bad luck, the player we call Harlow the Halo is fortune’s favorite son. His finesses always win and his errors never cost.“In a team match,” Louie told me, “Harlow and I both played at four hearts, and West led the jack of trumps. The Halo took the K-A and next led a club from dummy. For once, his inspiration failed him: He played the jack. West took the queen and led a club to East’s ace, and they also got a trump and a spade.”BETTER PLAYLouie found a better play. He won the first trump in dummy and immediately led a spade to his jack. West won and returned a spade to Louie’s ace. Louie then cashed the king of trumps and, when East discarded, started the diamonds. Eventually, he threw West in with his trump trick to lead a club or concede a ruff-sluff. Making four.“I guess ...Graham: Fiscal Q4 Earnings Snapshot

WASHINGTON (AP) — As it pushes to renew a cornerstone law that authorizes major surveillance programs, the Biden administration faces an American public that’s broadly skeptical of common intelligence practices and of the need to sacrifice civil liberties for security. Congress in the coming months will debate whether to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Section 702 authorizes U.S. spy agencies to collect large amounts of foreign communications for intelligence purposes ranging from stopping spies to listening in on allies and foes. Those collection programs also sweep up U.S. citizen communications that can then be searched by intelligence and law enforcement officers.The new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that Democrats and Republicans have similar views on surveillance tactics, while Republicans have become substantially less likely over the last decade to say it’s at least sometimes necessar...Declan Rice set to leave West Ham after winning European trophy, club chairman says
