Dear Amy: My 13-year-old daughter did a cat-sitting job for a neighbor and friend of ours, finishing on the first of the month.She sent a text to the cat’s owner on the last day, saying thanks for letting her pet-sit and that she enjoyed it. We never heard anything back.Five days later, I sent a text saying thanks for letting my kid pet-sit, and asking politely when she would get paid.Cat Owner said, “I’ll pay you on the 10th as I prefer to pay in cash and give feedback in person, is that OK? Or I could do Venmo, but only if you need that.” I agreed to payment on the 10th.On the 10th, Cat Owner texted saying, “I am too exhausted and have no cash so can’t do payment today. Can we do another day? Or if you urgently need money, I can do Venmo but prefer not to.”I responded, “Sure, we can do another day. Which day is good?” There was no response to this.On the 14th, I texted, “Hey, Cat Owner, just checking in on that payment for Anni...Harriette Cole: Our hometown is talking.

Kids are back in the classroom. Though, across the D.C. region, some classrooms are already seeing empty desks because kids are home sick with COVID-19.But for all the stories you might hear from parents and teachers, the true numbers are harder to track than they used to be.That’s because the dashboards that used to provide up-to-date information on COVID-19 infections down to the ZIP code don’t do that anymore. To confirm the reports, some parts of the region track the virus through monitoring stations in sewage wastewater.“Probably the best picture we have these days is that wastewater monitoring that’s going on,” said Dr. Donald Milton, a professor of environmental and occupational health at the University of Maryland School of Public Health. “It’s happening in D.C. Not so much in the rest of Maryland.”Montgomery County is the only county in Maryland tracking COVID-19 in wastewater. Virginia still does it too.“That’s go...Un estadounidense robado cuando era bebé en Chile se reencuentra con su madre a los 42 años

(CNN) — Jimmy Lippert Thyden dice que siempre supo que era adoptado. También sabía que no había nacido en Estados Unidos, sino en Chile. Criado en Virginia por unos padres adoptivos muy cariñosos y comprometidos, dice que nunca le faltó de nada. Este hombre de 42 años, que sirvió en la infantería de Marina, ahora es abogado, está casado y tiene dos hijas pequeñas.“Me dijeron que me dieron en adopción por amor”, cuenta Thyden. “Entregado por una madre que me quería y quería lo mejor para mí: una vida llena de oportunidades, educación y significado”.Todo eso empezó a cambiar en 2012, cuando su madre adoptiva le entregó los papeles de su adopción mientras se preparaba para desplegarse en Afganistán. Thyden cuenta que cuando empezó a examinar detenidamente los expedientes de adopción, descubrió que había muchas discrepancias e incoherencias.“Había tres o cuatro relatos diferentes de una historia que eran tan divergentes que no podían ser todos ciertos...New speed humps coming to roads near 3 Arlington schools
Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:56:28 GMT
Speed humps will be installed this fall near three Arlington, Virginia, schools where county officials say a lower speed limit in school zones hasn’t deterred drivers from speeding.The speed humps will be installed on South Lang Street near Gunston Middle School, South Queen Street near Hoffman Boston Elementary School and 19th Street North near Cardinal Elementary School.The measure is part of a pilot program, according to Dan Nabors, the county’s transportation, engineering and operations manager.ARLNow first reported details of the program.In an effort to make streets near schools safer, Arlington started lowering school zone speed limits last year. It introduced school slow zones, which have permanent 20 mph speed limits on neighborhood streets within 600 feet of a “key” school access point.The 20 mph zones were adopted around 13 schools last year, and will be used near 14 schools this year and 19 more next year.

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 17:56:28 GMT
FOXBORO — If the Patriots fail to slow down the Eagles’ pass rush in Week 1, it’s certainly not for lack of awareness.Head coach Bill Belichick’s message that the Eagles’ defensive front is not something to be messed with has trickled down successfully as the Patriots prepare for their season opener on Sunday.“Defensively, their front is a very dominant front, best pass rushing front in the league by, I’d say, quite a bit with good depth,” Belichick said Wednesday morning. “So, they can roll those guys out of there pretty comfortably and bring in other guys that are just as explosive, dangerous. They’ve got a great combination of power and speed in the pass rush front.”Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Patriots-Eagles injury report: Jack Jones out, Rhamondre Stevenson among 5 questionable New England Patriots | Source: Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson expected to play Week 1 despite practice absence New England Patriots | Patriots are s...Battenfeld: Boston power brokers flexing weakened muscles to influence City Council race
