Asking Eric: His new wife was upset about his text from urgent care

Dear Eric: One of my best friends is a woman who is now married to my boyfriend’s brother. I introduced them, and they married last fall after knowing each other for about six months. My friend often confides in me about what’s happening in the marriage. She is sensitive about her husband’s relationship with his ex-wife and told him that he should communicate with the ex-wife only about their daughter. He recently had a medical emergency and had to let the ex-wife know he’d be late in picking up the daughter (they have shared custody). He texted the ex-wife without showing my friend the message, and then, my friend said, “His phone blew up.” He’d said he was in urgent care as a result of having a centipede bite, and the ex-wife became concerned and asked questions. My friend says he could have simply said he’d be late, and she asked me if I thought he was undermining her by talking about himself and not the daughter. I said no, and she looked surprised and hurt. I can’t help but feel my friend is trying

Booker T. Washington’s visit to Riverside honored atop Mount Rubidoux

Booker T. Washington had a busy schedule when he visited Riverside on March 22, 1914. Over the course of the day he gave four speeches. In each he talked about his childhood as a slave, the importance of literacy and education, and the Tuskegee Institute, the pioneering Black school in Alabama that he led (and traveled the country raising money for). At some point in the day, Washington was taken to the top of Mount Rubidoux by Frank Miller, the owner of the Mission Inn hotel and the city’s most influential figure. A photograph of the pair, Riverside spread below them, commemorates the visit. More than a century later, that photograph has provided the inspiration for a permanent memorial. On Friday, the last day of Black History Month, a plaque atop Mount Rubidoux was unveiled to honor the visit by one of the nation’s best-known Black leaders. How important is the photo to all this? “That’s what drove us,” said Claudia Rodriguez, who organized the effort on behalf of the Friends of Mount Rubidoux. “‘Hey, there’s this photograph.’” Among the many markers on Mount Rubidoux for

Will Demi Moore be the first Best Actress from a horror film in 14 years?

(NEXSTAR) — This Sunday, four first-time Oscar nominees and one previously nominated actress will all vie for the Best Actress statuette at the 97th Academy Awards. But one actress’ win would be a big win for the horror genre, which has historically been overlooked by the Academy. While over the years there have been numerous horror films and performances not acknowledged by the Academy, this year’s Oscar ceremony could be a little different. This image released by Mubi shows Demi Moore in a scene from “The Substance.” (Mubi via AP) Not only is Coralie Fargeat’s horror-comedy “The Substance” nominated for Best Picture but its star, Demi Moore, is among the two most likely winners in Best Actress. Moore, 62, has already earned multiple acting awards for her role as aging actress Elizabeth Sparkle, but an Oscar win would cement a truly unforgettable horror performance in Academy history.

Firefly Aerospace prepares for moon landing Firefly Aerospace’s “Blue Ghost” prepares to land on the moon 03:15 Firefly Aerospace’s Blue Ghost lander closed in on the moon Saturday, on course for a nail-biting automated descent to touchdown early Sunday, the first of three private-sector robotic moon landers to reach its target after launches earlier this year. The Blue Ghost lunar lander spent a month orbiting Earth after launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket in January , giving Firefly flight controllers in Austin, Texas, plenty of time to activate and test its systems and science payloads before heading to the moon. An artist’s impression of the Blue Ghost lander on the surface of the moon. Firefly Aerospace Once there, the spacecraft spent 16 days in lunar orbit refining its trajectory and beaming back spectacular views of Earth from 240,000 miles away. Now, after multiple thruster firings to reach the planned descent orbit, the 6.6-foot-tall spacecraft is poised for a rocket-powered drop to the surface.

Papering Over

Greetings, you musketeers of merriment! Last week, we explored the joyous and creative world of laughter, discovering its power to connect us to the world and inspire creative thinking. Maybe you unleashed your inner comedian at a local watering hole, then captured the contagious joy from your set through photography? Did you find an empty room to sound out your different laughs, then test them on unsuspecting family members or checkout clerks? If you did, I hope you let them in on the joke!  This week, we return to the physical plane with a creative focus on an object that can be the bane of writers like me: a blank sheet of paper. Its emptiness can evoke feelings of fear, doubt, and even paralysis. But that’s just self-doubt doing its job. In fact, a blank sheet of paper holds a universe of creative possibilities waiting to be explored.  The pressure to fill the void with something meaningful, something perfect, can sometimes prevent us from even starting.It’s one reason I procrastinate. And the reason why I didn’t give you a writing activity this week! In a world dominated by digital screens, the simple act of engaging with a blank sheet of paper can be a

Prop. 1 impacting services, programs for local health agencies and nonprofits

Proposition 1 was passed in the 2024 general election, and it changes the Mental Health Services Act passed by voters in 2004, with a focus on how the money from the act can be used. KSBY News spoke with Transitions-Mental Health Association and the San Luis Obispo County Health Agency about programs and services that are now being impacted. Proposition 1 includes a $6.4 billion bond to build more places for mental health care and drug or alcohol treatment and more housing for people with mental health, drug, or alcohol challenges. Frank Warren, the Behavioral Health Department deputy director at the County of San Luis Obispos Health Agency, says they are hoping to expand in-patient and crisis residential services. The bond part of Prop. 1 made available to counties a grant that we have applied for that would allow us to expand our in-patient and crisis residential services for youth and adults, said Warren. We’ve written that grant. Now we wait until May to find out whether or not we can build some new facilities. According to Warren, the county receives money from a tax
