Ask Amy: Was it wrong to return these unwanted letters to the sender?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 11:30:35 GMT

Dear Amy: After I retired, I had time to go through boxes of personal papers that I had saved. These included letters that current friends and family had written to me over many years.It was fun rereading many of these, but at this point in my life I don’t feel the need to keep them.Instead of throwing them away, I decided that the sender might enjoy reading what they had written decades earlier, so I bundled packets of their individual letters off with notes to the effect: “Cleaning house! Here’s a blast from your past! Enjoy!”Now months later, I have not heard back from one person.I’m questioning whether I did something wrong.I know that I would enjoy reading letters I wrote many years ago, but maybe that’s just me.Related ArticlesAdvice | Ask Amy: I asked for money and she gave me a painting.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I have noticed that my ankles swell a lot these days. I don’t know what has caused this, but it is happening with some frequency.I have the cheapest health insurance, so I don’t really want to go to the doctor. The co-pay is high, and I worry that they will either not pay close attention to me or find something terrible that’s wrong with me that I can’t afford to treat.So far, I have not done anything about it. I’m sure that’s not the way to handle this. What do you recommend? Swollen AnklesDEAR SWOLLEN ANKLES: Of course you should go to the doctor, preferably your own primary physician if you have one. That is because a doctor who knows you may have a better sense of your overall health than someone you are just meeting.Even if you have to pay a hefty co-pay, that’s lower than having to deal with an emergency situation.Related ArticlesAdvice | Harriette Cole: I felt so awkward on this trip with a co-worker Ad...
