Dear Amy: More than 50 years ago, my sister married a guy who skipped the States after being drafted into the US Army (it was during the Vietnam War).I was also drafted and served, including going to Vietnam.My mother was totally against my sister marrying this guy because he was on the lam.I was asked to meet with his parents when they came to my Mom’s house, with instructions from my parents to make it very clear that they were totally against this marriage, making me the bad guy in this scenario.My sister told our mom that if I wanted to attend the wedding, the invitation was left on top of my mom’s refrigerator. I took it personally because I was married and living with my wife and son and the invitation should have been sent to our home address.I did not attend the ceremony.They still live outside the country, but their children — my nephews and nieces — are American citizens and live here. They are grown and have kids of their own.They greet me with respect a...Hungary's Orban condemns EU federalism and LGBTQ 'offensive'

Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban (pictured) on Saturday (22 July) renewed an attack on the European Union for conducting what he called an "LGBTQ offensive", saying his nationalist government would protect the country's Christian roots.In a speech in Romania, Orban - a long-standing critic of Brussels - also said he hoped next year's European parliament elections would strengthen governments within the bloc that reject the "federalism" represented by Germany and France.In power since 2010, Orban passed a law in 2021 banning the use of materials seen as promoting homosexuality and gender change at schools, citing the need to protect children from "LGBTQ propaganda" and thereby escalating a row with the EU.He has also clashed with Brussels over other issues including the rule of law, and reforms to Hungary's media and the judiciary.The EU is "either an empire or (individual) nations ... We should not have any illusions: the federalists are trying to squeeze us out," Orban said."T...49ers training camp: McCaffrey revs up for historic season

SANTA CLARA — Christian McCaffrey’s first training camp with the 49ers could be a springboard toward franchise history, as well as NFL milestones.“Everybody knows where our head is at, from the top down,” McCaffrey said at spring workouts. “We know what we want to accomplish and where we want to go.”The 49ers report to camp today among the NFC favorites to reach the Super Bowl. Individually, he’s just as strong a candidate for the NFL record book.McCaffrey instantly proved himself an offensive catalyst last season, when the Stanford product returned to the Bay Area in an October trade from Carolina. He spiked Kyle Shanahan’s offense with more multi-dimensional flavor, in a traditionally run-oriented scheme that suddenly piled up points any way possible.Appreciative of his time in Carolina, McCaffrey came to the 49ers as a perfect fit.“When you commit to a team, you’re part of something that’s bigger than yourself,” McCaffrey said in May. “In hindsight, I firm...Detached house sells in Oakland for $1.6 million
