DEAR ABBY: For my 50th birthday 10 years ago, my father, with whom I have had a tumultuous relationship, gave me cherished rings as gifts. One was my grandmothers and the other was my grandfathers, both of whom are deceased. This was at a time when we were in a good place, and it meant the world to me that he thought enough of me to give them to me. They were the only things I had of his parents.

DEAR ABBY: I ran into a friend at the chiropractors, and he persuaded me to change my plans and not go to the movies but to join him on a walk on the beach.

DEAR ABBY: A year and a half ago, a newly married young couple moved into a house down the street. A few weeks after they moved in, my husband, my daughter and I went over with a gift to introduce ourselves and welcome them. They were super friendly. My husband told them if they needed anything to let us know. Shortly afterward, the husband contacted my husband and said since they were newly married, they couldnt afford a lawn mower and asked if they could borrow ours. "Of course" was ...

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Alex," and I are close friends with another couple who live out of state. During a virtual happy hour, our friend "Darlene" advised us that her brother "Roy" is moving to our area, and she suggested we become friends. She assumed my husband likes Roy. My husband answered honestly and said he doesnt particularly like Roy. When Darlene pressed, wanting to know why, Alex again answered honestly. He said he thinks Roy is obnoxious.

DEAR ABBY: I received a Facebook invitation to my 35th high school reunion. I was bullied constantly in every grade. I had no friends in my class, and the memories I have are not pleasant. I composed a letter expressing the hope that the attendees enjoy reminiscing, and then added that I have no desire to see any of them again. In the letter, I called out by name several former classmates with specifics on their bullying and cruel treatment. I told those who were the "nice kids" I felt...
