• One of the worst enemies of quality oils like olive, grapeseed and avocado is ultraviolet light. When the sun’s rays hit clear containers sitting on your kitchen counter, the oils inside can begin to deteriorate. When shopping, look for oils packaged in opaque or dark bottles instead. These containers block UV light and help keep oils fresher, longer. The bottles are still recyclable, but the darker glass helps protect the contents from light damage. And avoid storing oils near your stove, where the heat from cooking can speed up their breakdown.

Overwhelmed mom can’t take on duties

Overwhelmed mom can’t take on duties

DEAR HARRIETTE: I was asked to be my friend’s maid of honor, and I said no. For context, I said no because I had a baby five months ago and I’m recovering and getting used to now having three young children. I have had little energy to do much of anything. The last thing I need to add to my plate is being heavily involved in a wedding. This friend and I have only known each other for a year. She doesn’t have many close friends, so I became her obvious choice. When she asked me, I tried to explain my situation and told her that while I would love to attend the wedding and support her, I didn’t feel like I could properly fulfill the responsibilities of being a maid of honor right now.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I’ve been on the dating scene for quite some time now, and the rumors are true – no one is perfect. It’s been a harrowing few years since my last relationship, and I’ve tried blind dates, the apps, meeting friends of a friend, you know the deal. I finally met someone the good old-fashioned way: on accident, in person, at church. I’ve been attending for a few months now, and I met a guy there who is nearly perfect – he makes me laugh, he’s emotionally intelligent, romantic and kind, and he loves his job.

Neuropathy has many causes beyond diabetes

Mar 28, 2026

Dear Doctors: I often read about neuropathy in the feet, and it is always linked to diabetes. I’ve had pain, tingling, burning and partial numbness in my feet for years but do not have diabetes. Why is neuropathy not talked about separately from diabetes? Can I do anything for my symptoms?

Divorced woman feels invisible to men

Divorced woman feels invisible to men

Mar 27, 2026

DEAR HARRIETTE: As I get older, I feel like I am becoming invisible to all men. I don’t want to sound as if I’m a “pick-me girl,” as my daughters say, but it’s been difficult. I have been divorced for two years, and I’m trying to put myself out there, but it seems like men are only interested in younger women, not 50-year-old divorcees with kids.

How many times has President Trump said that the war in Iran, now entering its fourth week, will be brief ? Many. I asked Grok for 20 examples of Trump promising a short war, and got a list very quickly. Here are a few: “This war will be over very soon.”
