Dear Abby: Cheating ex a drain on man’s life, $$
Published Thu, 31 Oct 2024 22:58:47 GMT
Dear Abby: My wife and I were married 21 years ago. Since then, she has admitted to cheating with 10 different men. Each time, I stayed with her, hoping she’d change. I finally left 3 1/2 years ago because I couldn’t take it anymore. She became homeless, but for the past year and a half she has been living with my daughter and me because I saw her on the street one day and she looked terrible.We are now moving, and my daughter wants her mother to get a job (she’s capable of getting one). My ex refused to get one to help pay the bills. Now I’m faced with another dilemma: Should I let her go on her own or fight for her to stay with us? My daughter is completely against her living with us. My income is limited. I’m on disability for a bad heart. My ex is 43, and I’m 58. Can you please advise? — Not Looking Back in ColoradoDear Not Looking Back: Your daughter is right. You are disabled and on a limited income, and your ex-wife is able-bodied.

FALLBROOK, Calif. -- The San Diego County Sheriff's Department deputy involved in a shooting last week in the Fallbrook area has been identified, authorities said.Evan McCormick, a patrol deputy from the Fallbrook Substation, fired his department-issued rifle multiple times at the suspect who was armed with a scope rifle while making his way toward law enforcement, Lt. Adam Sharki with the San Diego Police Department said in a release Tuesday. McCormick's been with the department for about 15 years. The incident occurred Friday around 1 a.m. in the 4900 block of White Lilac Road in Fallbrook. Police said the sheriff's department responded to a call from a woman who reported her husband, identified as 41-year-old Jorge Alberto Sandoval, was despondent and made suicidal threats. According to authorities, the woman said she hid a firearm from her husband after he threatened to kill himself with it.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Asa Hutchinson, the former two-term Republican governor of Arkansas, will formally launch his campaign for president Wednesday with a kickoff in his hometown of Bentonville.The stalwart conservative, who announced in a television interview earlier this month that he intended to run, is a former congressman and official in President George W. Bush’s administration.Hutchinson has been a rare figure among announced or expected GOP presidential hopefuls in his willingness to criticize former President Donald Trump, calling for him to drop out of the 2024 race instead of seeking another term in the White House.The 72-year-old has said Trump should step aside because his legal troubles, including criminal charges in New York, are a distraction. And while Trump has fixated his campaign messages around his false claims about the 2020 election he lost, Hutchinson has said voters need a candidate who is not focused on the past.Former U.N.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Geraldine Tyler, now 94, lost her one-bedroom condo in Minneapolis over $2,300 in unpaid taxes, plus interest and penalties. Hennepin County sold the apartment for $40,000 and kept every penny.Tyler’s lawyers say the county violated constitutional protections against having property taken without “just compensation” and excessive fines. The Supreme Court, which hears arguments Wednesday, will decide.Minnesota is among roughly a dozen states and the District of Columbia that allow local jurisdictions to keep the excess money, according to the Pacific Legal Foundation, which is representing Tyler at the Supreme Court. At least 8,950 homes were sold because of unpaid taxes and the former owners received little or nothing in those states between 2014 and 2021, according to Pacific Legal, a not-for-profit public interest law firm focused on property rights.Other states are: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York,...2024 race won’t be like 2020. That’s good and bad for Biden

WASHINGTON (AP) — No honking geese are likely to interrupt his speeches this time.As President Joe Biden seeks a second term, he won’t have to depend on glitchy Zoom connections, or deliver remarks in largely vacant theaters with attendees in chairs ringed by circle markings on the floor to ensure enough social distancing. His advisors won’t scrutinize the 1918 flu outbreak for clues on pandemic-era voting. With the country increasingly back to normal, Biden can fly to crowded campaign events on Air Force One, make policy announcements from the Rose Garden and shape not only the presidential race but global affairs with his actions.Just as the 2024 campaign will be vastly different from the coronavirus-marred 2020 edition, Biden won’t be able to hold on to the White House by running in the same way he won it three years ago.

MURKATA, India (AP) — Krishna Biswas is scared. Unable to prove his Indian citizenship, he is at risk of being sent to a detention center, far away from his modest hut built of bamboo wood that looks down on fields lush with corn.Biswas says he was born in India’s northeastern Assam state. So was his father, almost 65 years ago. But the government says that to prove he is an Indian, he should furnish documents that date back to 1971.For the 37-year-old vegetable seller, that means searching for a decades-old property deed or a birth certificate with an ancestor’s name on it.Biswas has none, and he is not alone. There are nearly 2 million people like him — over 5% of Assam’s population — staring at a future where they could be stripped of their citizenship if they are unable to prove they are Indian.Questions over who is an Indian have long lingered over Assam, which many believe is overrun with immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh.

Bud Light may have fumbled its attempt to broaden its customer base by partnering with a transgender influencer. But experts say inclusive marketing is simply good business — and it’s here to stay.“A few years from now, we will look back on this ‘controversy’ with the same embarrassment that we feel when we look back at ‘controversies’ from the past surrounding things like interracial couples in advertising,” said Sarah Reynolds, the chief marketing officer for the human resources platform HiBob, who identifies as queer.On April 1, transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney posted a video of herself cracking open a Bud Light on her Instagram page. She showed off a can with her face on it that Bud Light sent her — one of many corporate freebies she gets and shares with her millions of followers.But unlike the dress from Rent the Runway or the trip to Denmark from skincare brand Ole Henriksen, the backlash to the beer can was fast and furious. Three days after Mulvaney’s post, Kid Rock pos...Timberwolves drop thriller in Game 5, fall 4-1 in series to top-seeded Denver

DENVER — It was only fitting that Minnesota’s season ended with a surprisingly strong effort that came just short.There were highs in Game 5 in Denver — and numerous signs of promise — but it ended in defeat. The short-handed Timberwolves went down swinging in their 112-109 loss Tuesday to fall 4-1 to the West’s top seed in the first-round series and end their season.Anthony Edwards had a shot to knot the game at the buzzer, but it clanked off the back iron to officially pull the curtains on the campaign.Edwards was again the catalyst for Minnesota for much of the night. The 21-year-old guard cemented his postseason dominance by carrying the offensive load time and time again. He tallied 16 points in the first half alone. He finished the game with 29, but he needed 32 to send the game to an extra session.Denver paid its respects to the ascending superstar in the second half, blitzing and doubling him nearly every time he touched the basketball.Karl-Anth...PHOTOS: Denver Nuggets close out Minnesota Timberwolves with Game 5 win

A slow, savage smile swept across Nikola Jokic’s face.Tired of getting scratched and clawed at the hands of the feisty Timberwolves, Jokic grinned at officials knowing his dramatic Game 5 triple-double was fostered amid the physicality of postseason basketball. Jokic bullied Minnesota’s frontcourt for five consecutive points with under a minute left to seize Tuesday’s contest and oust the Timberwolves into a long, cold offseason. The Nuggets’ 112-109 victory sealed the series, 4-1, and secured a second-round playoff series that could start as early as Saturday.Minnesota had one last long shot after Jokic missed a free throw with 3.4 seconds left. When Anthony Edwards’ 3-pointer to tie the game at the buzzer hit back-rim, thanks to a fantastic contest by Bruce Brown, red, yellow, and blue confetti poured from the ceiling at Ball Arena.Jokic finished with 28 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists.
