ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma has to do with divorce. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I love listening to your social dilemmas and I have a big one of my own. Recently I got divorced after 17 years of marriage. It happened because my wife was cheating on me with an acquaintance of ours. I was willing to try to work it out, but she wanted out and so we divorced. However, now my wife, or I guess I should say ex-wife is going around telling everyone that she divorced me, and even accused me of being the one who cheated. She's even writing this on social media sites. I'm so angry about it, but I don't know if I should just let it go or defend myself. Some friends are telling me to go after her, since this could hurt of my chances of getting into another relationship. Others say, let her lie all she wants, we know the truth. What do you think I should do? Thanks for your hel...

Ask Amy: Ex-spouses continue their financial entanglement

Dear Amy: My ex-husband and I divorced in 2016. We are both in our 70s and retired. We still co-own our beautiful family home.Since 2020, my ex and I have been living in the home (in separate apartments).This has mostly been compatible. We have a young-adult son who lives nearby. He has contributed greatly to the maintenance and management of the home, which has involved renting rooms to friends and renting out an “Airbnb” suite.My ex and I have significant equity in the home. Our divorce agreement says that we are each responsible for 50 percent of the house expenses. I have been paying more to cover house expenses than my ex can afford to pay.He says I will be paid back if we sell the house. Our divorce agreement says either one of us can call for the house to be sold, and so far, neither of us have wanted to sell. We would like to leave the house to our son, but rising taxes might make it unaffordable to continue living here in the coming years.My ex also owns a condo...

Shohei Ohtani strikes out 10 in Angels' opening loss to A's

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 21:38:44 GMT

Shohei Ohtani's Pitchcom machine failed him for a stretch in the first inning, so he had to improvise with a rookie catcher. “It was tough because you want to go a different pitch, but you don't have enough fingers,” O'Hoppe said in reference to Ohtani's extensive repertoire. “We got through it, luckily.”Ohtani struck out 10 over six scoreless innings in his season debut coming off the World Baseball Classic title before Oakland capitalized once he exited, with Aledmys Díaz rallying the Athletics on a tiebreaking single in the eighth for a 2-1 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday night. “We got a lot of guys on base and in scoring position, we just lacked that one big hit,” Ohtani said through interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.Esteury Ruiz singled and Tony Kemp hit a tying double to start the rally against Aaron Loup (0-1).The A's hoped to get a chance once Ohtani's day was done.“He kind of dominated us a little bit with 10 punchouts,” Oakland manager Mark Kotsay said. “In doing tha...

Bridge: March 31, 2023

Opening the bidding (“striking the first blow”) may be beneficial for both offense and defense. But skimpy opening bids impede accuracy in constructive bidding.In the Soloway Knockout Teams at the Fall NABC, both Norths opened one diamond with sub-minimum high cards and a hand bereft of winners. The resulting four-heart game with a combined 20 HCP and a shaky trump suit was an underdog.SECOND CLUBAt one table West led a trump, and East took the ace (not best) and returned a spade to the ace. West then cashed the ace of clubs and led a club to dummy. Declarer picked up East’s queen of trumps and ruffed a club in dummy to set up the suit. Plus 420.In the replay, West led the ace of spades, then a low club (not best). South might have guessed right. If to have a chance he assumed East had the A-Q of trumps, he could have given West the ace of clubs for his overcall. (South could have played East for specifically Q-x in trumps and the ace of clubs.) But South played lo...
