DEAR HARRIETTE: I am watching my friend become a snob right before my eyes. She is earning significantly more money than she did last year, and it has turned her into a completely different person. We had favorite bars, restaurants and retail stores that we used to frequent, and now she acts like all those places are beneath her. I am worried that I've lost my friend. What should I do? — Who Are You?
Alot remains uncertain about the midterm elections. Republicans will almost certainly run the House, but how will they operate with a tiny margin? Control of the Senate probably won’t be decided until Georgia’s runoff election on Dec. 6. But it’s still possible to draw some useful lessons for the future.
We thought we would miss the festivities, which just shows how much we still have to learn about Mexico.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a friend who is very judgmental. Whenever I see her, the first thing she does is size me up, pointing out things that I should fix so to appear more pulled together. Because she works in the fashion industry, I have let her remarks slide, but I am getting tired of it.
Now that the mid-term elections are essentially over and the festive holidays are just around the corner, we thought it was a good time to put the divisive political hatred behind us and take some time to laugh about it instead.

Among the most shameful events of the midterm election season this year has been the rumor-mongering and conspiracy-theorizing about what lurid things could have led to the attack on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband. A man was attacked in his home, by someone who wanted to attack his wife.
Just over half of churchgoing American Protestants went into the tense midterm elections believing that the people in the pews around them would vote the same way they did.

Dear Doctors: I'm a 30-year-old man, and I play weekend volleyball. Last month, I jumped to spike the ball and heard a 'pop.' There was a lot of pain; it felt like getting kicked in the calf.
