Mom’s unwelcome comments about ink need to dry up
Mom’s unwelcome comments about ink need to dry up
DEAR ABBY: I am tattooed. I have 11 spread over my body. I grew up with strict rules. My mom always said no piercings (other than ears) or tattoos while I was under her roof. I got my first tattoo at 22 while away at college. I had to tell her about it because of a family beach vacation. She was disappointed. I have continued to get inked throughout my life. Every time she noticed a new tat, she voiced a negative opinion. 04/14/2023 12:00 AM

THE ECONOMIST: Outlook for Texas Economy
THE ECONOMIST: Outlook for Texas Economy
It goes without saying that there’s a lot going on in the economy these days. The United States (and most of the rest of the world) is dealing with high (though moderating) inflation, rising interest rates, struggling industries and markets, geopolitical tensions, and a host of other uncertainties. Nonetheless, I remain optimistic regarding the potential for growth, although the path will probably not be as smooth as we would hope. 04/13/2023 12:00 AM
