98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Is It Rude To Not Eat Your Own Birthday Cake?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:28 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Allen and it's about birthday cake. Here's his email:Hi Jaime. My family and I seem to be in a bit of an argument right now and apparently I'm the cause of it. Last week was my birthday. My family had a small party for me with neighbors and some family members. It was great. My wife and the kids made me a very nice cake. However, I have been working on eating healthy so during the party I didn't eat any of the cake. Everyone who had some said it was great. But my wife and kids got really annoyed with me for not having any of it. They said it was rude of me not to eat it, especially knowing how much time and energy they put into making it just right. I told them I didn't think it was a big deal because everyone else enjoyed it. What do you think? Was I rude to not eat any of the cake? I thought I was being healthy. Thanks for the help. Allen Well, I think Allen should have had just a little piece of the cake. He didn'...

Ask Amy: Successful sister ponders her family obligation

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:28 GMT

Dear Amy: My question is about family obligations — both financial and emotional. My sister and I are both in our 70s and retired.She has made life choices that have left her alone and out of money with serious health issues. She has had multiple marriages that failed. She quit working at a young age (30s) due to health concerns.I believe our mother supported her for years before (my mother’s) death in 2003. We live 1,000 miles apart.She has children who live near her: one who has not had contact with her in a decade and one who helps only when she feels she has to.I have been married for over 40 years; we both worked hard for decades and have a reasonable retirement that may or may not last as long as we live.My sister has often expressed how she needs money, without actually asking for it. I have given her about $1,000 over this past year. I send cash gifts for holidays and birthdays, but I’m sure that is nowhere near what she needs.She has recently asked me to exit her life...

Antonio Tajani, Italy's foreign minister, said that Rome was not satisfied with the apologies given by Paris following a French minister's accusation of Rome mishandling the influx migrants.In an interview, Tajani, a member of the conservative Forza Italia Party, said that "clearer words were needed"."I hope the French government will change its position, and that an apology is issued that contrasts the positions taken by the Minister of the Interior. I will gladly accept them."Gerald Darmanin, the French interior minister, said that Giorgia Melons right-wing prime minister was "unable to resolve the migration problems for which she had been elected".

Warriors-Lakers series going exactly as basketball-playing dog predicted. Will ‘Air Corg’ turn out right?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:28 GMT

Could Warriors’ fans balm for their nerves over the next 36 hours before Game 5 starts be … a very athletically-skilled dog?Denny Ku and his corgi Lilo have been doing trick shot videos for over three years now under the handle “aircorg” across several social media platforms, with “Steph Furry” often playing with balls into basketball-shaped garbage bins.Lilo will frequently predict the results of how certain playoff matchups will go, and did so for the Warriors-Lakers series before Game 1 last week.So far, Lilo nailed each game exactly right, predicting the Lakers would take a 3-1 series lead by dropping Game 2.Lilo’s prediction for the remainder of the series? The pup’s apparently spot-on shooting predictions see the Warriors storming back, take Games 5, 6 and 7 and winning the series.It wouldn’t be the first time Golden State has made that exact comeback, either. The Warriors were in this exact position in the Western Conference finals back in 2016, down 3-1 against the Thunder a...

What to do — and not to do — if you find newborn kittens

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:28 GMT

Spring is here and so are kittens! Right beside blooming flowers and new wildlife, you may come across a nest of newborn kittens. Whether it’s a whole litter under your deck or a single kitten that seems abandoned in your shed, there are a few things to think about before you jump into action. Many times, it’s best to leave the kittens right where they are — with mom. Here’s the dos and don’ts of kitten rescue.Don’ts:• Don’t intervene immediately, unless the kittens are in clear danger. It may take several hours for mom to come back from hunting for food, but kittens can survive for that long without food.• Don’t intervene if mom returns. She has chosen a place that she believes is safe. Let her raise the kittens for the first five to six weeks. Or, if mom is not feral and you have a quiet house with a spare room or an empty garage, call Marin Humane to learn about fostering a mom and newborns. Toddling kittens are easy prey for wildlife, so if you have a place that mom can raise he...

Santa Cruz police auditor report zeroes in on use of force, Tasers

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:15:28 GMT

SANTA CRUZ — The Santa Cruz Police Department has made numerous updates to its Taser stun gun, supervisory review and communication policies after the latest review by a city-hired independent auditor.The March 2023 report by OIR Group’s Michael Gennaco and Samara Marion, released last week, delves into nearly three dozen complaints arising from citizen and internal complaints filed between 2019 and 2022. Several of the 33 complaints — the investigations for which did not conclude until 2022 — resulted in internal mandates for discipline ranging from counseling and training to debriefing and complete exoneration. In summaries provided in the report, appearing before the Santa Cruz City Council on Tuesday afternoon, the subjects of two complaints were described as no longer working for the department, though the context made it unclear if the status change was related to the complaint.The independent auditor’s report recommends that the police department make 21 policy updates — of w...
