Texting a gateway to scams

Text messaging began with engineering that started in the early 1980s. You may find it useful to know what the differences are among the types of text messages. At least one major cellular company is now asking customers to select the type of text they prefer to use, so you might as well know ...

Lawmakers are floating ideas

WASHINGTON — With the few months they have left as senators, Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican Bill Cassidy have embarked on a mission to save tens of millions of Social Security beneficiaries from a projected 22% cut in their benefits, starting in just six years. It is one of the most perilous political efforts that a member of Congress can undertake, so it is telling that the push is being led by two lawmakers who have little to lose at this stage of their careers. “We’ve been at this six years, eight years.

While Edna wrote the words, another woman named Deborah Barnes gave us the calendar date to celebrate them. Deborah officially founded Rainbow Bridge ...

DEAR ANNIE: Decades later, his betrayal comes to light

DEAR ANNIE: I’m going through a difficult divorce after 58 years of marriage to an alcoholic. Recently he told me two things I never knew: that he slept with my sister the night before our wedding and, years later, when they were both in the military, with a friend of mine. I always knew my sister flirted with him. She’d tried the same with two other sisters’ boyfriends, and she and my husband spent years publicly claiming to dislike each other while accusing one another of “trying something.” I always thought it was weird but harmless. I never imagined it went that far on ...
