Ask Amy: Member of group builds bridge to nowhere

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:35 GMT

Dear Amy: I am in a group of four women who have played Bridge together almost every week for more than 25 years.A year ago, one of the group abruptly cut all of us off. Through a series of texts and emails she told us that she can’t be friends with us anymore.She wouldn’t make time to see us in person.She seems to be particularly mad at me. I emailed her trying to find out what had happened.She started with a paragraph about all my wonderful qualities, but then she said that we can no longer be friends.She wrote that I’ve done “1,000 things to hurt” her over the years, but she wouldn’t tell me what they were.Her son is getting married soon and she has invited the other two members of our group, but not my husband and me.As far as I know, she doesn’t see or talk to the other two, either. I’m quite devastated by this and communicated my feelings.I’m very hurt that the other two are going to the wedding when I’ve been so slighted and hurt.I don’t know if I can keep the hurt from affec...

President Tokayev: Kazakhstan ready to increase oil supplies to Germany

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:35 GMT

Kazakhstan is ready to increase oil supplies to Germany, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said last week after talks with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin. Tokayev said Kazakhstan has shipped 500,000 metric tonnes of crude to Germany's Schwedt refinery via Russia's Druzhba pipeline this year, sales that began after Berlin decided to stop buying Russian oil. "At our German friends' request, I have confirmed our country's readiness to increase oil supplies and make them long-term," Tokayev told a briefing. He did not say by how much such shipments could increase. "Kazakhstan is an important partner for us to broaden our supply channels, for example in the import of crude oil, and to make us independent of Russian energy supplies," Scholz told the same briefing. "We also look to Kazakhstan as a partner when it comes to critical raw materials to shape the energy transition. And we agree that the necessary transport routes must be expanded more quickly." Tokayev also said Ge...

Fashion a spot for self-expression

Maybe there’s a space at your current home where everyone automatically gathers. Often, that space is in or near the kitchen. Sometimes it’s at a bench on the front step or porch.In an apartment or condo, it might be on a balcony or near the living room window. At another person’s place, it might be on the old set of chairs just outside the patio door.There might also be a spot or two where family members can sit quietly.And for the new-home buyer — even when choosing a floor plan already designed by the builder — these spots can be just about anywhere in the home. That’s especially true when these places are planned out during those months of waiting for construction to finish.To get ready, think of the purposes these nooks might have. One family might like a place to do puzzles and play board games. Others might want a space to listen to music or play musical instruments. Maybe karaoke is your family’s game?Perhaps some people like a cozy, well-lit spot for reading, creative writi...

Slovakia begins border checks with neighboring Hungary in an effort to curb migration

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:35 GMT

SAHY, Slovakia (AP) — Slovakia began conducting traffic checks on its border with neighboring Hungary on Thursday amid what it says is a dramatic rise in migrants crossing onto its territory. The policy joins a flurry of similar border measures other Central European countries have imposed in recent days. The increased border protection came as a reaction to Slovakia’s neighbors, including Austria, the Czech Republic and Poland, reintroducing controls at their own borders with Slovakia on Wednesday to curb migrants coming in from the country. Each of the border control policies are set to last for at least 10 days. At a border crossing in Sahy, Slovakia — a 90-kilometer (55-mile) drive north of Hungary’s capital, Budapest — two Slovakian police flagged down vehicles Thursday to conduct inspections. It’s a departure from the ease of travel long afforded to members of Europe’s visa-free Schengen area, last restricted when some countries sealed their borders in ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:46:35 GMT

Title contender France has plenty of reasons to be concerned about Italy in their crunch Rugby World Cup match on Friday in Lyon.Both are chasing a quarterfinal spot. France is unbeaten and is looking to top Pool A. Italy has lots of motivation.Italy was caned by New Zealand 96-17 last week in Lyon but the Azzurri are usually thrashed by the All Blacks. Italy has no fear factor at all, though, when it comes to neighbor France.Their derby is often feisty, and the All Blacks did France no favor by riling up Italy to save some face for the humiliation they suffered a week ago.“We are looking forward to a chance this week to at least get a performance that has a lot more respectability,” Italy coach Kieran Crowley says.This could be Crowley’s last game in charge of Italy. He was hired from Treviso in May 2021 after the disastrous 16-month reign of Franco Smith. Crowley transformed the team’s fortunes by improving their fitness, discipline and attack and selecting promising stars.N...
