Gwen in Coeymans writes: My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost a year. The first 8 months or so we hardly argued, but that has changed in the last few months. Now that the "honeymoon phase" is over, we're both learning things about each other that are less than ideal. When I argue, I tend to dig a little deep and can say some mean things and I'm working on it. I also like to res

A few weeks ago, I saw a grown man throw a candy wrapper on the ground.  I immediately judged him to be a loser in life. Too harsh?  Too bad.   If there's one thing I have zero tolerance for, it's a litterbug.  It's lazy and it's vulgar plain and simple.  Far worse than any candy wrapper, paper plate or chicken bone (it's an Albany thing you may not understand it) is the amount of used COVID masks

A drive-by shooting in a residential part of Troy resulted in a young boy being hospitalized on Monday afternoon. Troy Police say the 11-year-old was inside his home when the gunshots rang out.  Let's all hope for his family and the community's sake, he's okay.

Reilley in Niskayuna writes: I'm not the type of woman who asks for things or wants things but I do want to get your thoughts on something.  I've been married for 13 years and I would say that in that time, my husband has not bought me a "just because" gift in a decade at least.  Birthdays and anniversaries he usually comes through but once- just once - I'd like him to come home with som

We're coming up on one year since the universe threw us the biggest curveball anyone could have ever imagined.  We locked down, social distanced, tried to "not be stupid," wore our masks, watched daily press conferences, explored the Adirondacks, worked from home, taught our children, did drive-by celebrations, celebrated our frontline heroes, held meetings on Zoom, ordered massive amoun

Ask just about any owner of a local business and they'll be sure to tell you about the risk of simply staying in business during the pandemic.  The ever-changing mandates, rules, laws and uncertainty have left business owners with a very difficult call; do I stay open or shut it down?  There has, however, been a beacon of light throughout this pandemic and it also involves a call.  But this one is

Montgomery County Sheriff's are looking for the owner of a horse they say was found near Canajoharie on Thursday morning.  The mustang was meandering like he (or she) was wild, but clearly that's not the case.   The horse in the photo most certainly belongs to someone as evident by the coat its wearing in the photograph.  They since taken to social media and they've asking the public to assist the

This is the kind of thing in the midst of a pandemic and multiple shutdowns that you like to see.  A popular Saratoga County tavern that posted a very heartfelt "goodbye" in November just announced to their loyal patrons on their Facebook page that they're coming back next month.

Check your Take 5 lottery ticket. Somebody in Albany County may be sitting on some pretty serious money right now and they may not even know it. If you played Take 5 from the New York State Lottery on Tuesday night, your winning ticket could be worth over 60 thousand dollars; $61,559 to be exact.

Jess in Northville writes: I grew up on farm and my family has always eaten really good, fresh, locally grown food. Now that I'm an adult, I appreciate and actually rely on fresh fruits and vegetables.   It bothers me, perhaps a little more than it should, that my boyfriend Scott won't eat vegetables, like ever!  He's 31 but trying to get him to even try a carrot is like dealing with a stubborn 7-

One year ago this week, my family got together for a surprisingly different night out; we went to a Bingo Hall in Albany.  I'm pretty sure my sister suggested it as a bit of joke, but it was one of those things that we all unanimously agreed would be a fun thing to do...
