Dear Abby: I overheard my brother fighting with his wife — should I say something?
DEAR ABBY: I recently received a voicemail from my brother that recorded a conversation he was having with his wife. It was clear he didn't know he had accidentally dialed my phone during this conversation. It was an argument, which lasted two minutes before there was a pause in the conversation and he hung up. Advertisement I haven't addressed it with him yet because I am shocked at my sister-in-law's behavior during this conversation, and the way she treats my brother. I have known for a while that she blames others for situations she should share the blame in, but I had never heard her in a private conversation until this voicemail. My brother must know those two minutes live on my phone, although we haven't spoken about it. I want to talk with him and tell him that I heard what she said. I'd like him to know I hope she treats him with respect, and that she sounds ungrateful for all the hard work he puts in at his job in their one-income household with two children. How should I handle this? — OVERHEARD IN CALIFORNIA Advertisement DEAR OVERHEARD: Talk to your brother and express that the fight between him and his wife was partially recorded on your phone. Then tell him you don't mean to pry, but think he and his wife could benefit from marital counseling if they are both willing. (I hope he will listen and have some sessions, even if his wife refuses.) Advertisement DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are retired. He sits in his recliner chair all day, every day. He says he is 'studying his Bible' or watching YouTube videos. He also sleeps 12 to 14 hours after he goes to bed around 8 p.m. most nights. This has been going on for at least a year, and I am SICK of it. I want a companion to do things with. Advertisement Nothing I have done or said motivates him to get up and move. Since I am not willing to accept this lifestyle for myself, I take classes at the Y three to five times a week, go to lunch with friends, read and attend our neighborhood book club, paint and do crafts, and talk with or email friends. Most nights, I watch TV upstairs by myself. I may as well be single! Any suggestions? — UNCOUPLED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR UNCOUPLED: Get that husband of yours to his doctor for a thorough physical and neurological examination. People of every age need some form of exercise. When people who weren't sedentary spend all day, every day sitting, it is dangerous to their health. Your husband could suffer from any number of ailments, including depression. Making sure he has been checked out could be life changing not only for him but also for you. DEAR ABBY: When the hostess offers you leftovers after a nice meal, how much should you take? — WONDERING IN THE SOUTH DEAR WONDERING: Don't be greedy. Leave enough food for other guests to take some home if they wish, and don't forget to do the same for your hostess.

Much-loved restaurant in major Scots city shut by ‘devastated' owners
Bosses say rising costs are to blame for the sad closure THE owners of two popular Italian restaurants revealed they were forced to shut one due to the "ridiculous" costs. Dea Delossi, 38, says the "bittersweet" decision to close Sora Lella near The Meadows in Edinburgh was made due to financial strains over operating the bistro. 2 Sora Lella's closure will come as a blow for diners in Edinburgh Credit: GETTY 2 The restaurant was acclaimed for its Roman-inspired vegan dishes She vowed to bring favourite dishes from the spot to sister location Sora Diana a mile away. Dea said: "We realised the expenses were too high. "It's ridiculous how much the expenses are rising. "We realised we had to give up something so we decided it was time to close it. "We are giving away the premises but we will maintain the name. "The other restaurant will remain open and we will focus everything on it. "This is basically my passion, it is very close to my heart." Sora Lella opened six years ago and was dedicated to creating Roman-inspired vegan dishes with the idea of opening a "safe space" for diners. Rising costs forced the closure of the restaurant, which shut for the last time on Monday. Dea says her team tried "whatever we could do" to keep both sites running but made the choice to concentrate on Sora Diana due to the bigger space it offers. Beloved Italian restaurant chain abruptly closes 4 locations after going bankrupt for third time and fans 'so sad' She says best-selling pastas and pizzas will be among the dishes carried over. Dea added: "We will keep the same prices."

Gasp: leave or renew?🙏 Atalanta fans speak out, Rome reacts
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇮🇹 here. What will be the future of Gian Piero Gasperini? Many are wondering, with some wanting him in Rome and others hoping for his reconfirmation, or rather, a renewal with the Dea. Advertisement At Atalanta, there are few doubts: the club's intention is to continue with the coach who took the Nerazzurri from fighting relegation to raising the Europa League. The entire Bergamasco community is with Gasp, as was evident last night in the home match against Parma. On one of the two curves of the Gewiss Stadium, a very clear banner appeared. First the "Gasperini go away", then an appeal: "Renew the contract!". Clearer than that... A message completely contrary to another banner about Gasperini, which appeared this time in Trigoria a few days ago. This time, as can be well understood, the request from the crowd - in this case, the yellow-reds - is not to entrust the Roma bench to the 67-year-old coach. Who knows if all this will weigh in the decision that Gasperini will make - or has already made.

Breaking Barriers & Coming Together: Deaf Aotearoa Hosts The First NZSL Inclusive Coffee Tasting Event With Starbucks
Deaf Aotearoa is thrilled to announce a unique and inclusive coffee tasting event in collaboration with Starbucks, set to take place on May 6th at 12 PM across five locations in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch. This event aims to unite Deaf and hearing communities in celebrating coffee, culture, and accessibility. Together, we are breaking down barriers for the Deaf community, enabling them to participate in activities that are traditionally hosted for hearing audiences. Starbucks will host coffee tasting events at five of their key locations, with Deaf Aotearoa supporting this with NZSL interpreters through their interpreter booking service iSign, ensuring that Deaf participants can fully engage and enjoy the experience. This initiative highlights both organisations' commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, breaking down barriers and fostering a sense of community. Starbucks will also be taking donations from May 6 through May 11 at the till to allow Kiwis to also break down barriers for the Deaf community, with 100% of the donations from Starbucks fundraising efforts going directly to Deaf Aotearoa in support for the Deaf community. Event Details: Highlights: Free coffee tasting event open to the public, both hearing and Deaf NZSL interpreters available to promote inclusivity and highlight the use of NZSL in everyday spaces to hearing peers Opportunity for Deaf and hearing individuals to come together and connect over coffee Workplaces near the five locations are being encouraged to take their lunch break at their local Starbucks to participate in the event Deaf Aoteaora is inviting Kiwis to visit a nearby store on their way to work from 6 – 11 May to make a donation and contribute to the fundraising efforts 'We are excited to partner with Starbucks to create an inclusive event that welcomes everyone,' said Lachlan Keating, CEO of Deaf Aotearoa. 'Partnering with businesses like Starbucks is crucial for Deaf Aotearoa as it helps us create more inclusive and accessible experiences for the Deaf community. These collaborations not only raise awareness about the importance of accessibility but also demonstrate a commitment to breaking down barriers that Deaf individuals often face.' All too often Deaf individuals face barriers in everyday life – ordering a coffee, getting a haircut or understanding a diagnosis from the doctor can be more complex for a Deaf person. Making events more accessible, especially those typically targeted at the hearing community, is incredibly meaningful. It allows Deaf individuals to fully participate and enjoy activities that they might otherwise be excluded from. Deaf Aotearoa is committed to breaking down barriers and providing opportunities for Deaf people to be fully included. 'This coffee tasting event is a wonderful opportunity for the Deaf community to enjoy a shared experience with the hearing community, and we hope it encourages more events like this in the future.' We spoke to Lara Draper, a local Deaf person, and asked her what having these events accessible meant to her, 'As a Deaf person, having coffee tasting events accessible in New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) is a fantastic step towards inclusivity. It not only makes the Deaf community visible, but also encourages everyone to learn and use sign language. By making these coffee taster events accessible, it is promoting a culture where Deaf people can fully participate and feel valued. It's a reminder that inclusivity benefits everyone and that learning to sign can bridge communication gaps, making every day experiences richer for all.' Everyone is encouraged to come along, support this inclusive initiative, enjoy Starbucks coffee, and maybe even learn a sign or two.
