Hi Jaime, I have a question about my wedding and I'm hoping you can help. My fiance and I were at a wedding reception recently and as the night went on, I noticed some guests beginning to leave early.... And then with only 30 minutes left in the reception, more people began grabbing their coats and heading out! I felt so bad for the couple. They must have felt like their big day was boring people......I find this to be totally rude. It's one thing if there's an emergency but super tacky if you're simply rushing to get home. We will soon be sending out invites to OUR wedding. Can you ask your listeners if they would find it rude if I included a request that guests stay for the entire reception?  We are spending so much time and money on this one day. I want to invite people who truly want to celebrat...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:54:12 GMT

President Joe Biden formally announced his bid for reelection Tuesday, setting off a battle to convince the country his record merits another four years in the White House and his age won’t impede his ability to govern.In a video released early Tuesday, Biden framed next year’s contest as a fight against Republican extremism, implicitly arguing he needed more time to fully realize his vow to restore the nation’s character.“When I ran for president four years ago, I said we are in a battle for the soul of America. And we still are,” he said in the video, which opened with images of the January 6, 2021, insurrection and abortion rights activists protesting at the US Supreme Court.“The question we are facing is whether in the years ahead we have more freedom or less freedom. More rights or fewer,” Biden says in voiceover narration. “I know what I want the answer to be and I think you do too. This is not a time to be complacent. That’s why I’m running for reelection.”Biden’s official de...

“Know any bar jokes?” I asked my friend the English professor, who doubles as a humorist.“You mean such as, two quotation marks walk into a `bar’?”I groaned.“A mixed metaphor walks into a bar,” said the prof, “and sees the handwriting on the wall but hopes to nip it in the bud.”Today’s West led the jack of diamonds against four hearts, and South saw the handwriting on the wall: He faced a loser in each suit. South took the ace but did not lead trumps; a losing finesse would let West continue diamonds to set up a winner. South led a spade to his jack and back to dummy’s king. East won and led a trump.LAST DIAMONDSouth managed the trumps correctly: He did not finesse (giving West a chance to clear dummy’s trumps). Instead South put up the ace, led a diamond to dummy, threw his last diamond on the queen of spades and lost the club finesse.West returned a club, but South won and ruffed his last club in dummy. He los...
