ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Tim and it's about holding onto stuff. Here's his email. Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I wanted to ask for your opinion on something. My wife called me a hoarder this week because I refused to throw away my old cassette tapes. Some are mixes I made myself, others are tapes of my favorite bands. It's true, I don't have a cassette player anymore, but, I'm trying to find one so I can listen to them again. Do you think I'm a hoarder or just sentimental? Also, my wife wants me to throw away my old high school trophies, but I don't want to do that either. What do you think? Thanks for the help!

Ask Amy: Old friends only connect over kids

Dear Amy: I’m part of a group of women friends who met in college, 50 years ago.We got back in touch 20 years ago, and now meet a few times a year.At first, conversation was varied, with personal updates, talk about current events, shared book recommendations, etc.Very quickly, this changed to conversation that is nearly 100 percent about children.I’m an independent gal with no children.It’s not what I anticipated, but I’m happy with my life, especially with my fulfilling career.The other women have little interest in my profession, and have even poo-pooed what I do.I’ve tried to add different and relevant topics to conversations.The responses are either “I let (inject husband’s name) handle that,” or simply blank stares.They are all nice women, but these get-togethers with hours of conversation limited to children, children’s spouses, in-laws, relocations, etc., are unsatisfying and somewhat hurtful.I need a way to politely decl...

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 01:52:21 GMT

An Orange County Superior Court jury has determined that the accused mastermind of a daring 2016 jailbreak in Santa Ana that grabbed national headlines was guilty of the escape and stealing a van but not of kidnapping a taxi driver while on the lam.Hossein Nayeri, 44, already had publicly admitted to taking part in the brazen break-out from the Central Jail Complex and even recorded the escape on a smuggled-in cellphone. An intense week-long manhunt ended with Nayeri and his two accused fellow escapees back in custody.Nayeri, however, had denied abducting the taxi driver, instead alleging that the driver agreed to help Nayeri and his fellow escapees elude the massive law enforcement dragnet in return for a $10,000 payout.The jury deliberated for less than four hours before reaching its verdict on Thursday afternoon. Nayeri appeared to tear up as the verdict was read, and wiped his eyes as he watched the jurors leave the courtroom.Nayeri now faces up to an additional two years and ei...
