Wife reflects on long marriage to alcoholic
Wife reflects on long marriage to alcoholic
DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 39 years to a kind, supportive and loving man. We are both retired. He stays fit with daily exercise, reads, keeps track of our financials and is fun to be with. However, he’s a high-functioning alcoholic. His personality bends to unsavory during most of the evening hours. He will never go to counseling, and support groups for me are not close by. 05/12/2023 12:00 AM

The BSA Scouting National Jamboree will be held at the “Summit Bechtel” Scout Reservation in West Virginia. Local First Class Scout Zachry Rice will get the experience of a lifetime by attending from July 19-28. Having earned his way through Scout popcorn sales last year, Zach said he is excited. Fellow Life Scout Taliesin LeDoux will travel to South Korea to attend the International Scouting Jamboree, joining 45,000 scouts from around the world His father, local Scoutmaster Spencer LeDoux, will also attend this year’s International Jamboree. It will be his 5th International Jamboree since he joined Scouting in San Marcos in 1989. 05/11/2023 12:00 AM

THE ECONOMIST: Where the money flows
Federal funds directly support individuals and businesses across Texas. In 2022, nearly $277.6 billion was spent in the state by various agencies. That’s down from $349.7 billion in 2021 and $321.0 billion in 2020, when assorted COVID-19 stimulus packages were in place. The last year of pre-pandemic data indicates $206.8 billion, with 2018 only slightly lower. Things are slowly getting back to more typical patterns. (Note that these totals are for fiscal years, from October 1 through September 30.) 05/11/2023 12:00 AM
