Niece hasn’t paid back loan for legal bill

Dear Abby: Several years ago, my adult niece, with whom I am very close, found herself in some legal difficulties and needed an attorney.

A little looking turns up healthy recipes

Who likes healthy or gluten-free dishes? For years I was a bit skeptical as I bit into a new dish bearing the title “healthy.” While I was intrigued with the thought of it being healthy, it was that thing of expecting it to be a good notch inferior to regular baked goods. You know how crumbly those gluten-free bars tend to be, not to mention no sugar in them – none at all.
