Opinions

MUSKOGEE-Three of six Indian defendants on trial here for alleged extortion and acts of violence against the Santa Fe Railroad rested their cases just before noon today.

DEAR ABBY: I have an acquaintance, “Tina,” who I believe is fraudulently using her GoFundMe fundraising webpage. A close friend of hers set it up a few years ago to assist with medical bills related to a rare form of cancer that will never fully go away.

DEAR ABBY: Eighteen months ago, I was staying with my son and his family when they had a get-together with his wife, “Corrine’s,” father. His wife, Corrine’s stepmother, had just finished chemo for several different types of cancer.

It is the heart and soul of everything. The soul of man, I mean.

The first book I read of former atheist C. S. Lewis’ was SURPRISED BY JOY. When his mother died, his father sent him to a boarding school because he thought he’d be raised more properly than what he could do. This horrible experience was devastating for the young boy.

Parenting kids…tough stuff. And just think of doing that same job from God’s point of view. He’s responsible for the same…guiding you and me to become good adults. Not a job that you would hear me volunteering to do in a trillion lightyears. Just imagine.

FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 2026 DEAR ABBY: My son took out a couple of education loans, which I cosigned when he was starting college 10 years ago. A couple of years ago, I found out (from someone else) that he never finished college.

THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 2026 DEAR ABBY: I am reaching out as a single mother grappling with a serious heart-lung condition. My son’s father abandoned us when I was pregnant, and I haven’t heard from him in more than a decade.

TUESDAY, MARCH 3, 2026 DEAR ABBY: I have been married more than 20 years to my best friend. She’s the love of my life. We have been through a lot together and have been in couples counseling for eight months.

If I was still a teen in high school, I would love AI. I could have my writing assignments for English done in a flash and be out the door. And have a lot better grades to show my parents than I did years ago. And later on, with those gnarly issues at work when I became an adult?
