ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Christina and it's about grocery store etiquette. Here's her email. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I was recently doing my grocery shopping at my favorite supermarket when I ran into a friend. We stopped to chat, and while I was chatting I reached for a jar of sauce, and I dropped it. I felt so bad. The glass shattered everywhere, spreading sauce all over the aisle. And yes, they even made the infamous "clean up in Aisle 7" announcement. I apologized to the person cleaning it up and told my friend I should focus on my shopping and that I would talk with her later. But then my friend asked if I was going to go to customer service to pay for the sauce? I couldn't believe it. I said no, it was an accident. She said anytime she broke something, she paid for it. I don't know if I believe that. I didn't pay for it, but now I'm wondering, is it an unspok...

Ask Amy: Closet shopper’s regift reveals uncomfortable dynamic

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:02:49 GMT

Dear Amy: My daughter-in-law is extremely close to her family and although she tries to show affection for us, it’s only out of obligation.A few years ago, I purchased a very expensive handbag (which I couldn’t afford) as a Christmas gift for her.On occasions I’ve been asked to clean their house and while cleaning I’ve seen the handbag in her closet.This past Christmas, I received the same bag from her.It is obvious about what transpired: While she and my son bought luxurious gifts for her family, she went shopping in her closet for me.She’s a good person but can be manipulative and narcissistic at times.I feel disrespected and unappreciated for everything I do for them (which is a lot).I would like to address her (or the two of them) about this, but I’m not sure how.A part of me just wants to put the bag back in their closet to see if I receive it a second time, or to give her instructions on how to properly “regift,” which includes putting the name of...

“I’ve blamed her crazy plays on those glasses,” Cy the Cynic told me, “but she got me for the second time this week. I think she’s an expert masquerading as a little old lady.”Minnie Bottoms wears old bifocals that make her mix up kings and jacks, often to her opponents’ dismay. Cy has been her chief victim.“Minnie was East,” Cy said, showing me today’s deal. “Against my 3NT West led the jack of spades, and Minnie played the eight(!) on dummy’s queen. When I led a diamond next, West won and led his last spade, forcing out my ace. I could win only eight tricks before Minnie took her ace of diamonds and good spades.”JACK OF SPADES“She thought her spades were J-10-8-7-6-4-2 and West’s jack was the king,” I said.“I’m not so sure,” the Cynic growled. “Her defense was correct. If she covers the queen of spades, I duck and break the defenders’ communication.”&...

Ireland preparing for difficult debut in Women’s World Cup opener against co-host Australia

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:02:49 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Overwhelming demand for tickets meant co-host Australia’s opening match at the Women’s World Cup had to be shifted to the tournament’s biggest stadium, where it’s set to be played in front of an expected record crowd of 82,500.Stepping into that cauldron to face the Matildas on Thursday is Ireland, on debut at the World Cup and playing in its first major global tournament.“We feel like underdogs and we embrace it,” Ireland forward Marissa Sheva said. “I think it gives us a little bit of energy and we know the pressure is not on us, it’s on them for this game.”The match was initially scheduled for a smaller downtown stadium but had to be switched to Stadium Australia, at Sydney Olympic Park, which is also the venue for the Aug. 20 final.“Ever since they moved stadiums we knew that it was going to be a massive crowd,” Sheva said. “Having the opening game of the tournament against the hosts is an incredible opportunity.”The hype around Sam Kerr and the ...

Cathy Freeman, Australia’s iconic Olympian, pays Matildas a surprise visit before Women’s World Cup

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:02:49 GMT

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — During a recent team trip to Melbourne, Tony Gustavsson, head coach of Australia’s national women’s soccer team, called a meeting. Instead of leading the Matildas through a tactical discussion, he told the players he had different plans for the evening.“They played about a three-minute highlight reel on YouTube of the moment of Cathy Freeman’s race,” Matildas defender Aivi Luik recounted Tuesday in Brisbane, where the Matildas are finalizing preparations for the Women’s World Cup. “And by the end of it, there was a lot of emotion going around in the room.“And when they turned the lights on, we turned around, and there she was.”If any Australian knows how to handle pressure in the sports arena, it’s Freeman. In 2000, she was heavily favored to win the 400 meters in the Sydney Olympics. She lit the cauldron at the opening ceremony in the days leading up to the most important race of her life.With the country’s sports-loving public watching in expectati...
