ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Vivi, and it's about getting your guests to leave. Here's her email: Get the latest, news, weather, sports and community events delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. Let me start this email by saying I love to have my friends over for dinner parties. I love to cook and I love them. It's a win win. However, once the wine starts being poured, sometimes we can sit around for hours talking and laughing. But, I like to be in bed by 11. Period...no wiggle room. I have found at my age that if I go to bed later than that, then my whole next day is ruined. Especially if I've had a glass or two of wine. But my friends never want to leave that early. I love them, but they've got to get out of my house. How do I gently tell them it's time to go without hurting their feelings? Hope you can help. Thanks.ViviWell Vivi, as someone who also has a bedtime that I like to keep, I will invite people over with a start and END time. T...

Ask Amy: A large family has divided loyalties

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 07:25:18 GMT

Dear Amy: I come from a large family, which has a 20-year gap between siblings.The oldest sibling was out of the house when the youngest was born.Essentially, our parents raised two separate families in different generations.Both of our parents died years ago, and a rift became very apparent.A few of the older siblings accused some of the younger ones of taking advantage of our parents, and attempted to turn the rest of the family against them. They even went so far as to try and convince long-distance relatives.It did not work.One sibling’s spouse appears to have a personal grudge against a younger member, and over the years, letters have been written, emails sent, and public comments made, all against the same younger family member.This in-law puts on the persona of being a good, loving, and honest person, but most know better.Now that we are all growing older, some of the siblings feel as if all should be forgiven. They want to reunite the family.A few have stated that this will ...

Spain seeks delay of PM's EU presidency speech due to election

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 07:25:18 GMT

Spain wants to delay the presentation of priorities for its upcoming EU presidency until months after assuming the bloc's rotating leadership in July 1 due to a snap election, which some diplomats fear could disrupt Europe's agenda.The move contrasts with the Spanish government's earlier claims that the elections would in no way affect the timetable of the European presidency and that everything would go ahead as planned.On Monday (29 May), Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez (pictured) decided to dissolve parliament and call a snap election on 23 July following heavy losses for his Socialist Party in local and regional votes held on 28 May.Sanchez was set to address the European Parliament's plenary session on July 13 to outline Madrid's main policies during the six-month presidency, but has now requested it be delayed to September, an official from Sanchez's Office told Reuters.With the change, EU lawmakers will be informed of Spain's priorities for the bloc two months after the start of...

How Russia Circumvents EU sanctions on machinery imports: the case of Deutz Fahr

Published Tue, 11 Mar 2025 07:25:18 GMT

This week the EU countries expect to agree on the 11th sanctions package against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine. The new measures will be primarily focused on closing loopholes to circumvent the previous restrictions. It is no secret that despite all existing bans, car dealerships in Moscow continue to sell the newest BMW and Mercedes models, restaurants serve Dom Perignon champagne, and clothing stores like TSUM provide the latest collections from top European brands.Loopholes also work in the opposite direction: Russia's oil exports, a key revenue stream generating over $380 billion for the national budget in 2022, have rebounded to pre-war levels, with a substantial portion still finding its way to the EU market via intermediary countries such as India and China.Russia's agricultural sector has also flourished as a significant revenue generator, raking in over $40 billion in 2022. This figure is on par with the proceeds from the country's metals exports and double the earning...
