ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Marie and it's about flying. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I was recently on a flight from California to New York. I was sitting in the window seat and had the window closed. The person in front of me was in the Emergency Exit row where there are only two seats so no one really has a window seat. So I reached up and shut that window because I wanted to nap on the five hour flight. Well the person in one of those two seats in the row opened it back up. So I shut it again. And she opened it again. She couldn't really see out of it, so I'm not sure why she kept opening it. I wanted to nap. Since the window didn't really belong to anyone, isn't it okay for me to shut it so I could sleep. She really doesn't have a window, so to speak. So I feel I should have been able to control that window. I was going to talk to a flight attendant ...

Ask Amy: I slept with my friend’s wife years ago. Should I apologize?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:31:35 GMT

Dear Amy: Years ago, I had an affair with the wife of a good friend (and co-worker).The affair ended my marriage, but somehow they managed to hold theirs together. They are still together today.Even though we all live in the same city our paths very seldom cross, but when they have, we all act like we don’t even know each other. We have not exchanged one word since the affair ended.I truly would like to apologize for the role that I played in this mess but am unsure about whether that would be a helpful thing at this point.I don’t know what bringing this subject back up after all this time might do to their relationship. This thought has left me unable to move forward with an apology.Do you think that writing a letter of apology to both of them would be appropriate?— Guilty GuyDear Guilty: I don’t think writing a letter of apology is necessarily appropriate, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.You should very carefully interrogate your reasons for wanting to do this, and...

Bridge: May 18, 2023

A couple at my club has been wed for 59 years. Asked to explain their marriage’s success, the husband said that when they started, they decided he would make the major decisions, she would make the minor ones.“And we’ve never had a major decision.”Declarers at a suit contract face a major decision: when to draw trumps, if at all. At today’s six spades, East took the ace of diamonds and returned a diamond. South won, drew trumps with the ace, king and ten, and threw his club loser on the king of diamonds. He next led a heart to his king and back to dummy’s jack. East’s queen won.BEST PLAYSouth might have saved himself some grief (though not as the cards lay) by running his trumps before trying the hearts. But his best play is to cash only the A-K of trumps, then take the K-A of hearts.When East-West follow, South throws his last heart on the king of diamonds and ruffs a heart high. He can draw the missing trump with the ten and pitch his club...
