Dear Doctors: My landscaping business keeps me outside a lot, and my son has a job as a line cook. We both worked through heat waves last summer that made our jobs dangerous. Can you please write about how to know if you’re in trouble with the heat and what you can do about it?
Ronald Reagan had it, Jimmy Carter didn’t. George H.W. Bush had it until he didn’t, and the same can be said for his successor, Bill Clinton. Joe Biden had it, lost it, regained it and lost it again. Donald Trump has it in surfeit.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a 26-yearold woman from Cincinnati. I started a new job a few months ago, and I’ve developed a crush on one of my coworkers. He’s kind and funny, and we get along really well. I look forward to seeing him at work, and I think there might be a spark between us. However, I’m hesitant to make a move because I’m worried about the potential consequences. What if I ask him out and he says no? Or worse, what if we go out and things don’t work out?
Itold my husband, Peter, when he first announced the idea, that I thought it was dumb.
After Donald Trump was almost killed by a sniper, he didn’t hide behind his Secret Service protectors. He struggled to his feet, looked directly at the photographers who were frantically trying to record the moment, and shook his fist in the air.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I recently started dating a nice man who is attentive when we are in each other’s company, but he is largely absent during the day. He rarely calls or checks in as the day progresses and generally sends me a text message in the evening. He used to work nights and I think he is still on an odd sleep schedule, but I don’t like it. Being in touch as the day goes on makes me happy. I just got out of a relationship where my partner was more absent than present. I don’t want to bring baggage with me, but this is a bit of a red flag. How can I address this with him without seeming whiny? – Be in Touch DEAR BE IN TOUCH: Your man is not a mind reader. You have to tell him what you want and appreciate in order for him to know. You don’t have to complain about what you didn’t have in the past. Instead, describe the type of interaction that makes you happy. If you want him to call or text you during the day, ask him to do it. Tell him that it makes you happy to be connected to him in that way.
Dear Doctors: Our dad is 77 years old and has diabetes. He got sick with COVID-19 this summer, and it was a huge struggle to get him to take the Paxlovid that his doctor prescribed. The process made me realize I don’t know much about the drug Paxlovid or how it works. Can you please explain?
