She and I get along but have nev- er been close. Sometimes I walk on egg- shells around her because I never know what might make her upset. I thought we were having a good time on that vacation and getting along well, even though I was anxious. We were both taking pictures with our phones, and she handed me hers to forward my- self some of the pictures. While I was looking at them, a text message pinged, and I checked it without thinking about it not being my phone.
It turns out my sister had spent the entire vacation texting about my my inability to do anything competently and even referenced something that happened years before. I had noticed her constant texting but said nothing be- cause I want to risk an argument. I am still angry about this and know how to let it go. I really want to travel with her again, since I know the invisible third party will be with us the whole time. How do I deal with this? Staying Put in New Jersey Dear Staying Put: When you saw that message from your text partner you should have handed her the phone and started packing.
You are not obligated to travel with someone who causes you to walk on eggshells, ignores you, puts you down and says nasty things behind your back. be mean about taking steps to protect yourself. Simply stop vacationing with her. (I know I sure would!) Dear Abby: My wife recently had her DNA tested so she could learn more about her genealogy. She then decided to make her results public so other pos- sible relatives could contact her.
Not long ago, she received an email from a man, claiming a DNA match. Stan said he was adopted, and his search to his birth parents had hit a dead end. My wife immediately recalled old family stories about an older relative who is still alive who had given up her baby for adoption. Several pieces of information from Stan matched (like his birthplace), and we have no doubt my relative is this parent. Our question: Do we help Stan con- tact his long-lost parent? As sad as it may be, I think our business to surprise my kin with news of a son never talked about.
My wife is leaning in the opposite direction and sees no harm. What do we do? To Help Or Not To Help? Dear To Help: Your wife should con- tact the relative in question, explain about her DNA test and inform her she has been contacted by a man claiming he is related. She should tell her relative she had long ago heard about a child that may have been placed for adoption. If your relative would like to have contact information, she should share it. However, if this relative open to being contacted, your wife should let the matter rest.

In the ultimate showdown, Kora stabbed deliciously evil Admiral Atticus Noble (Ed Skrein), crushed his head and knocked him 2,000 feet, falling to cer- tain death.
