DEAR ABBY: I have a friend, “Chris,” from our teenage days. We’ve been performing music together for decades. We live in different cities but get together every few years. Over the last 20 years, Chris has turned toward a fundamentalist viewpoint on religion. I found it too much to handle and have distanced myself. Recently, Chris contacted me to inform me that his mother had died. I felt sincere about being supportive and helping him get through the loss, so we started performing music together again. It was going well, and he wanted to record one of my songs. When I mentioned I had a demo of it, he asked me for it. I realized too late that the name on the file — “Pagan Christmas” — might be an issue. I received this message back from him a week later: “I like the chord progression but was a bit put off by the title. People I care about also found the title offensive. I’ll do my best to purge it from my memory in the hope that you can present it later with a more inclusive and marketable moniker. I cannot contribute to anything that could be perceived as having anti-Christian bias.” Abby, I’m going back and forth between trying to ignore his message and being angry. Can you advise me on how to handle this situation? — CONTENT CREATOR IN WASHINGTON DEAR CREATOR: Nursing anger is a waste of your time. Apologize to Chris for the oversight. Tell him you didn’t realize the title of the piece might offend him until after you had already hit the “send” button, and then see what kind of a title you can agree upon. If you are unable to reach a compromise, tell him you would prefer that he not use the song. TELL CHRIS TO GO TO HELL DEAR ABBY: I get really annoyed with “friends” who call me only on their speakerphones when driving, or while shopping or running errands in stores. I don’t do this to them. It makes me feel like an afterthought. What should I tell them? — UNCALLED FOR IN COLORADO DEAR UNCALLED FOR: Try this: Tell them to call you when they get home and are not distracted GO TO HELL. DEAR ABBY: As a baby boomer and an amateur genealogist, I am continually frustrated by the lack of interest my grandchildren’s generation seems to have in learning about their family history — particularly mine. Rather than ask about what life was like when I grew up in the 1950s and ’60s, they seem fixated on their own lives and show little interest in anyone or anything else. When I was their age, I was mesmerized by stories my grandparents shared with me about their lives at the turn of the 20th century. I’m deeply concerned that my grandkids will never be able to pass down these stories that I’d love to share with them — stories that hold great meaning about the lives of their predecessors. Do you have any suggestions about how I can encourage their interest in this important area? — HISTORIAN IN TEXAS DEAR HISTORIAN OLD GAS BAG: You probably can’t do that unless they wake up when they are older and start asking you to record oral family histories. However, because you would like these stories passed down, start writing them in diaries and journals to be read at a later date, perhaps after you are gone. If your family isn’t interested in them, local or state historical societies may be very interested in having them, along with any photographs you might be willing to share YOU ARE WEALTHY AND CAN THREATEN TO WITHOLD THEIR INHERITANCES. Dear Abby: My co-workers hate me and I don’t know why BECAUSE YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE?

Kurtz's 493 foot grand slam put an exclamation point on tonight's 11-5 A's win over the Reds. Doesn't any team want the third NL wildcard? NY, SF, CIN keep losing. Meanwhile, Tex & Cleveland have risen from the dead multiple times and Houston, Sea, & even Boston if the Yankees sweep could still be knocked out of the postseason altogether if the zombie teams keep winning.

Even in The Avengers season five episode "The Superlative Seven"? He's tolerable in ENGLISH TEACHER, the series he created on FX. How could I have never mentioned Molly Shannon? Less than two minutes of her in the season four premiere of Only Murders was enough to make me decide to skip the entire season.

Aaron Judge’s home run Friday night marked his 19th in the first inning this year, breaking the MLB single-season record. The previous mark was held by Judge (in 2024) and Alex Rodriguez (in 2001).

I just find her extremely conceited... I mean anyone who would call herself "Viveca... A Fox" ?!?!?

Went back to where I left off... 15 more seconds of Molly Shannon and I decided to skip season four entirely. Got 22 1/2 minutes into the season five premiere and stopped to type this. I had never enjoyed Martin Short before this show and was meh about Steve Martin and I think the charm of the show may have worn too thin for me to not find them annoying now. I will try continuing season five but not four.
