Friend’s flakiness rubs reader the wrong way

DEAR HARRIETTE: An old friend of mine reached out to try to reconnect with me. She apologized for our estrangement and told me how much she's missed our friendship. I was honestly excited to hear from her, as it's been years since we last spoke, and I've pretty much moved on from any negative feelings I once felt toward her. We were supposed to catch up in person a few weeks ago, but she keeps canceling on me. We previously stopped talking because I felt like she would never really show up for me in the way I would show up for her. Could her flakiness be a sign that she hasn't changed? -- Flaky Friend

Right now, California, Connecticut and Rhode Island have robust programs, but there are other recyclers nationwide on the site’s comprehensive recycling list. Mattresses that get recycled are torn apart for materials like metal, wood and foam.
