ASK THE DOCTORS
There's an odd dynamic that plays out when former President Donald Trump gives a campaign speech.
It’s clear now that Senate negotiators badly miscalculated in their attempt to craft a bipartisan border-security and immigration bill. Republicans misread what their Senate brethren would accept, and they clearly had no idea about sentiment in the House.
• Yes, you need to wash ... your washing machine. Over time, the machine can become a breeding ground for foul-smelling bacteria, which can affect how clean your clothes, bedding and towels get when you use it. The good news is, cleaning your washer is easy to do. Just pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the detergent dispenser and run it on the longest cycle at the hottest setting. When it's done, pour baking soda into the machine and run it on the same cycle.

It's been almost a quartercentury since Bill Clinton was president, and it's rare to catch a glimpse of him anymore or to hear his honey-hibiscus-punch voice.

While a person may buy a cake here in Mexico seven days a week from early morning to late at night, getting any other kind of dessert is more challenging.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My friend and I recently got into a fight because she put me in an uncomfortable situation. I am a fairly reserved person, and she is very extroverted, so this can cause us to have conflicting reactions to certain scenarios. She pushed for me to enter this situation, and I went ahead with it because I didn't want to disappoint my friend and I am not great at setting boundaries. Things ended up reaching a point where I finally told my friend that we needed to leave. I am upset at her and myself for not putting a stop to everything sooner. I want to blame her for everything that happened, but she says it's unfair that I blame her because she would have left if I had asked. She was just so adamant and loud about wanting to go to the event that I went with her.
