ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Marty and it's about going to court for a speeding ticket. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I have a dilemma I don't think is a big deal, but I'm catching some flack from my family and my friends for it. Recently I was coming home from work and I got a speeding ticket. I got written up for going 82 in a 55mph zone. I'm not happy about it and I don't want any points on my license. So I basically have decided that I'm going to go to court and lie about it. I'm going to tell the judge that my car can't go that fast due to an engine problem and that the most I could have been going was 62 or 63. I'm sure people do this all the time, but for some reason my husband, and my friends are telling me it's not a good idea. My husband thinks I'm setting a bad example for the kids (they'll never know), and my friends think you should never lie i...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:00 GMT

Dear Readers: Like you, I’m often curious about what happens to the advice I offer once it leaves my desk, and so I’ve asked readers to send in “updates” to let all of us know how my advice was received, if it was followed, and how things turned out.The responses have flowed in, and I’m interested and often gratified to learn what impact this experience has had on readers.To refresh all of our memories, I’m running the original Q&A, followed by the update.Dear Amy: I am 58 years old.

Two years ago, I realized that our disagreements were water under the bridge, and we re-established a relationship. She lives several states away and has no contact with my friends.I have never disclosed my diagnosis to her.I don’t want her to come to the conclusion that I broke down the barriers between us because of m...

Countries seek deal on weakened EU nature law

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:00 GMT

European Union countries' environment ministers attempted on Tuesday (20 June) to agree a common position on the bloc's landmark law to restore deteriorating natural habitats, having watered down the proposal after pushback from some governments.The EU proposal to turn around the ailing health of Europe's natural habitats - 81% of which are classed as in poor health - has sparked a fierce political debate, with EU lawmakers and some governments opposing the bill and questioning whether the EU is pushing too much environmental regulation onto industries.Draft negotiating documents showed countries plan to weaken parts of the law.The European Commission, which drafts EU laws, had originally proposed requirements to revive drained peatlands used in agriculture. EU countries look set to weaken those targets - at the request of countries including Ireland - and let governments avoid meeting them in certain cases.Another change would scrap an obligation to ensure that the health of mudfla...

Vatican says new leads are worth pursuing in the disappearance of employee’s daughter 40 years ago

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:00 GMT

ROME (AP) — Exactly 40 years after the teenage daughter of a Vatican employee disappeared, the Vatican said Thursday that new leads “worthy of further investigation” had surfaced hopes of finally getting to the bottom of one of the Holy See’s enduring mysteries.Emanuela Orlandi vanished June 22, 1983, after leaving her family’s Vatican City apartment to go to a music lesson in Rome. Her father was a lay employee of the Holy See. Over the years, her disappearance has been linked to everything from the plot to kill St. John Paul II, a financial scandal involving the Vatican bank and Rome’s criminal underworld.The Vatican’s criminal prosecutor, Alessandro Diddi, said Thursday he had recently forwarded to prosecutors in Rome all the relevant evidence he had gathered in the six months since he reopened the investigation into Orlandi’s disappearance. In a statement, he vowed to keep pursuing the case.Popular interest in the case was renewed last year with the four-part Netflix...

Chastain chasing Trackhouse’s 1st win this season at the team’s home track of Nashville

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 17:16:00 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Ty Norris has heard NASCAR fans both cheer and boo Ross Chastain, who seems to make more enemies by the race. The president of Trackhouse Racing doesn’t mind: Norris thinks NASCAR should have 40 other drivers just like his “ Melon Man.”“Ross is a driver that has become comfortable in making other drivers uncomfortable,” Norris said. “He doesn’t mind going three-wide. He doesn’t mind going up against the wall. He doesn’t mind poking his nose in there when he wants the space.”That aggression has crossed a line at times for some. Chastain punched Noah Gragson after the race at Kansas earlier this year. Chastain also spun Chase Elliott, NASCAR’s most popular driver the past five years, early in the final stage of last year’s finale — costing Elliott a chance at a second title.His on-track encounters are plentiful and that kind of driving and emotion from Chastain helps make NASCAR more interesting — even if others get ticked off. Norris ma...
