In summer, there’s just so much fun stuff to do outside the house that shopping for and preparing a multi-course can feel even more like a chore.If we’re going to be honest, I’d much rather be on my bike or taking a hike at the end of a workday.But what if you could whip up a bowl of the world’s tastiest vegetarian noodles in 10 minutes or less?If your kitchen is well-stocked with Asian pantry ingredients — think staples such as soy and fish sauces, Shaoxing wine and toasted sesame oil — this dish is for you.

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma is about beautiful hot weather and work. Here's the email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hey Jaime, This happened to me at work the other day, and I'm wondering what you think of this. I had a great weekend with my family. We went to the Jersey shore, and the weather was perfect...hot and sunny. We couldn't really swim in the ocean because it was so cold, so we hung out on the beach just relaxing and having fun. Well, unfortunately, I ended up getting sunburned pretty badly. I was so worried about taking care of the kids that I forgot to put that much lotion on myself. Anyway, Sunday night it was killing me so I called in sick to work on Monday. When I returned to the office on Tuesday, and everyone saw my sunburn, they were ribbing me about it. My boss even called me in and told me it really wasn't a legitimate reason to call in sick, but he wouldn't do anything ab...

Ask Amy: Adult caregiver feels burdened and burnt out

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:54:46 GMT

Dear Amy: I’m halfway through a two-week visit with my 89-year-old mom, and my stress level is through the roof.On the one hand, I know that her life isn’t easy due to numerous health issues, including memory and vision loss — plus the death of my dad just over a year ago.On the other hand, and my siblings would all agree, she makes everything so much harder than it has to be, for herself and for everyone around her.The criticisms, complaints, put-downs, constant demands and need to control everything makes it so hard to find the patience and compassion I should have.It doesn’t take very long when trying to do anything with her before I’m stressed out and frustrated at the way she treats me and what I’m being put through while trying to help her.And I hate myself for it.I can hear the whine of an unhappy child in the grumbling of the adult I’m supposed to be, and by nightfall it’s not just one day’s worth of issues I’m trying to let go of, but decades of conflict, misunderstan...
