Dear Doctors: I got a tuberculosis skin test for my health care job and tested positive. A follow-up blood test was also positive, and I was diagnosed with latent TB. However, I had no known exposure.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I just received an invitation to a wedding from an old friend. This friend and I used to be close, but frankly, we started hanging out a lot less because I couldn’t afford her lifestyle. She always had a taste for more expensive things in life, and that just wasn’t my priority at the time. She used to poke fun at me, calling me cheap, and that took a toll on us, but we stayed in touch through phone calls and texts on birthdays and big milestones.
Ihad a really good ice-cream cone this week.

In 1788, a fire destroyed most of the city of New Orleans.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My husband retired last year, and ever since, he has done virtually nothing. He watches YouTube all day long, eats snacks, sits, smokes weed, drinks and complains.
On March 1, an immigrant from Senegal, apparently angry over the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, donned a T-shirt that said “Property of Allah,” grabbed a Koran, a pistol and a semi-automatic rifle and headed toward a popular nightlife area in Austin, Texas. There, he shot and killed three people and wounded 14 others before police killed him.
DEAR HARRIETTE: My godson is 22 years old – soon to be a college graduate beginning his life as an adult. He confides in me about his life, including his dating life. He told me that he is being courted by a woman who is 20 years older than him. She is attractive and has a good job, but I think that’s too old. He’s just starting his life. This woman is settled, but I also learned that she wants to have a child. She’s on the edge of not being able to since she’s in her 40s, but she has asked him to try with her. I am appalled. Why should a young man who is just beginning his life want to make that decision? He should be free to explore. What can I say to him to wake him up? He is completely mesmerized by this woman.
