Dear Amy: I need to resolve an issue concerning my close friend, “Brian” and my ex-girlfriend. The three of us used to socialize together when my ex and I were still a couple. Brian told me that he has not seen my former girlfriend after our breakup except once, accidentally. However, a couple of days ago Brian volunteered to me that he has recently been patronizing the restaurant where my ex used to work (my understanding was that she no longer worked there, but a reliable source told me that she does indeed still work there). It is not the type of restaurant that Brian would frequent because of his limited choices of cuisine. I suspect that the only reason he would go there is because he always liked her and that she works there. I realize that I cannot expect to impose my will on who Brian chooses to associate with, but it makes me very uncomfortable that it appears that he is being untruthful. I really don’t want to end my friendship, but now I can’t trust him. Should I confront him, or should I just end my friendship, which is something I really don’t want to do? If Brian wanted to have some type of relationship with my former girlfriend and if he was honest about that, then my feelings about this might have been different. I am confused and hurt.

She's baaaaack! Former crackpot Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann claims the World Health Organization has a satanic plan to create global governance. It appears Bachmann is a big Rothschild conspiracy theorist that comes from the dregs of QAnon. In my remarks, I'm going to have a chance to talk a little bit about that. If there's time to talk about the World Health Organization that is the health care arm of the United Nations, they're meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, the end of May. And they have a plan. They have a satanic plan. And that plan is to create a platform for global governance. So we'll probably be talking about that. But here's the greatest thing. In the last few weeks, as maybe you felt the same thing, as despair has come upon your mind and been on your shoulders and weighted us down to the point where we thought we could never see it get as bad as what we've seen in these last few weeks, I have to tell you, the Holy Spirit has been speaking. And the still, small voice in my spiritual mind has been fluttering. It's like a fluttering, a fluttering that goes along with springtime, that says that there is a new thing that God is doing in our midst.read more

Each week, we offer our opinions on the best that Colorado has to offer for dining, shopping, entertainment, outdoor activities and more. (We’ll also let you in on some hidden gems). My birthday is close to Memorial Day weekend every year, and I like to take advantage of the long weekend by checking a town off of my Colorado travel list.

J. K.
