Get the latest news, weather, sports and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I need help and I think this is a good dilemma. So, my friend and her family were going away for a 10-day vacation, and they asked me to water all of their plants outside in their yard. They have a beautiful yard with a lot of plants they buy every summer. I said no problem because I could use their pool if I watered the plants. Win Win. Long story short I missed a couple of days watering because I was too tired when I got home from work. A few of the plants don’t look great and I’m not sure water is going to save them. Do you think I need to replace those plants? Am I responsible to pay for them? I hope not because I don't think they're cheap. Help me out. Thanks. BrianneThis is kind of tough, because if Brianne did what she was supposed to do and wat...

Ask Amy: Mom worries about European exclusion

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:26 GMT

Dear Amy: My son graduated from high school recently and a few weeks later discovered, via social media, that his six best high school friends went on a graduation trip to Europe without him.They made sure he wouldn’t know about this trip ahead of time and obviously didn’t invite him.It’s not clear to either of us why they did this.He reached out to a couple of them via text, and didn’t really get any explanation.Now that they’re back, he still hasn’t asked them about it.I can’t help but wonder, where were the parents in all of this? Why didn’t any of them tell their kids that this is no way to treat a friend?Should I say something to the other moms (I’m not close with any of them), or do I let my son work it out with these “friends”?He was devastated, and I feel like this is eating him up inside.I’m afraid it’s the sort of rejection or betrayal that you don’t get over that easily.He’s leaving ...

Celebrating Lamborghini: Concours d’Elegance will feature Italian sports car manufacturer on its 60th anniversary

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:26 GMT

PEBBLE BEACH — Picture it. As the story goes, Ferruccio Lamborghini, who had been manufacturing excellent tractors since 1948, had bought a Ferrari about which he made complaints. His response from Enzo Ferrari came across as an insult when he said, “Why don’t you stick to tractors, and I’ll stick to cars.” Apparently Lamborghini replied, “I can do this as well,” and set about designing his own car.Whether it’s just a good story Lamborghini liked to tell, four months later, in 1963, he released his first car, the 350GTV, just in time for an unveiling at the 1963 Turin motor show, to successful reviews. He later reworked the production model and released the 350GT.This year’s Concours d’Elegance will celebrate innovative designs with, among others, the Marquis of Lamborghini, which celebrates its 60th anniversary.(Graphic by Arianna Nalbach) “Ferruccio Lamborghini’s idea was to create the greatest Italian sports car. At the time Ferrari was king, and we also had Alfa Romeo and M...

How birdlife in the East differs from the West

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 19:26:26 GMT

I’ve been spending the last week or so out East. While I’ve been visiting my wife’s family in Pennsylvania, I’ve naturally taken a little time out to look at the local birds. How does the birdlife in the East compare to the birds back at home in California?The East has chickadees, but not our Pacific coast specialty, the chestnut-backed chickadee. Photo by Mick ThompsonI’ll start with some concessions to the locals: cardinals are nice, those shockingly red and crested birds that don’t come any closer than Arizona. I’ve also been amused by the abundant presence of catbirds, dark gray mockingbird relatives with a distinctive whining call. Finally, the East is admittedly richer in warblers than California. Although I’ve been visiting outside of the real warbler migration seasons, perhaps my favorite of the songbirds I’ve seen on my trip is the lovely black-and-white warbler.When it comes to many of the common neighborhood songbirds, Californians might find the East similar but dif...
