Dear Amy: My adult daughter (married, no children) lives a few hundred miles from where I live.We visit several times a year, usually when I head down her way. It’s always enjoyable.That said, text messages are an important lifeline and communal experience.Frankly, I’m getting fed up with her inability to somehow confirm with me that she’s received my texts — even with a “thumbs up” icon.I’ve made an effort over the years to chalk it up to her personal style and to be forgiving of the distractions of life.She doesn’t have a 9-to-5 job and has stretches of time between work projects. I don’t text her daily, so it’s not like I’m inundating her with irritating updates.I’d expect at least a simple response when I text a couple of times a month, and it’s disturbing to me that she never answers.This behavior also extends to any phone messages.When I’m visiting her, she responds quickly to texts or phone calls with friends, so I’d wager it’s not a systemic attitude.We’re on good term...Greek parliament gives backing to new government's four-year plan

“My husband’s an attractive man,” a club player told me, “but I didn’t marry him for his looks — especially the ones he’s been giving me at the bridge table.”She had been today’s West.“My husband was East. Against four hearts I cashed the K-A of spades. My hubby played the deuce and then the ten. His ten looked like a suit-preference signal, showing diamond strength, so I led the jack of diamonds next.”HIGH RUFFS“South took the ace, led a club to the ace and ruffed a club high. He got to dummy with the seven and eight of trumps to ruff two more clubs high and went to the jack of trumps to pitch a diamond on the good fifth club. Making four.

The United Nations estimates over 9,000 Ukrainian citizens have been killed, over 15,000 Ukrainian citizens have been wounded and countless Ukrainian and Russian soldiers have died since the invasion on Feb. 24, 2022.Despite this, Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the U.S., said the songs sung for the dead and suffering gave her hope.“When English was together with Ukrainian going all the way up to the God’s ears — I don’t know — I felt home, I felt that we will win,” Markarova said.Paul Molde, a choir member of the Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine of the Holy Family, agreed.“You feel it in your heart, in your bones, in your soul,” Molde said. “And it is sad, but we al...Turkish president says Ankara could approve Sweden’s NATO membership if Europeans ‘open way’ to Turkey’s EU bid
