Leanne in Rotterdam writes: My boyfriend stays at my place as many as 5 days a week but doesn't contribute financially or help out because he has his own place. On top of that, he's constantly unhappy with my apartment and complains about me buying not enough food, but refuses to help me out.  Am I being unreasonable thinking he should help me out as he is practically living in the house? I'm thin

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family, friends, and the local law enforcement family of Joe Iachetta today after hearing that the 30-year-old K9 Sergeant with the Albany County Sheriff's Department was involved in a serious crash on Monday morning.

Ask any restaurant owner in the Capital Region their thoughts on the Governor's mandate insisting that all bars and restaurants close at 10PM sharp, and you'll be sure to get a serious answer.  Local businesses are seriously in jeopardy of not surviving the pandemic, and bar and restaurant owners are seriously frustrated.  Perhaps even more frustrating, is the somewhat snarky response by Governor

It was an amazing 2 days during our 16th annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon, you helped us do amazing things for St. Jude kids.

On Wednesday afternoon, the nerves started kicking in.  We were making last minute preparations in anticipation for WGNA's 16th Annual Country Cares for St. Jude Kids Radiothon presented by Dom's Pizza, Subs and Wings.  Full disclosure, I get anxious in the hours leading up to the St. Jude Radiothon because I never know what to expect.

According to sources, State Police say they arrested a Hudson man in Herkimer County on Wednesday afternoon after he was caught with 400 pounds of THC and marijuana edibles.  The quantity alone is astonishing and the street value of such a large amount could be upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars.   Many of the edibles confiscated were of the "Wonka" variety and the man taken int

Time was of the essence and if not for the exemplary efforts of two quick thinking deputies who responded accordingly, this story could have been a tragic one. Two Saratoga County Sheriff Deputies were honored on Wednesday for their recent life-saving efforts when they found two people completely passed out inside their home.  It turns out that both individuals - in their 60's - had suffered from

Ryan is a very compassionate kid and each year I talk to him about how important St. Jude Radiothon is and what they do. I asked him about cancer, St. Jude, and how he thinks we can all help the parents of the sick children worry less. When you listen to the words and innocence of a child talking about these things, there is something extra powerful in their words.

Erin in Clifton Park writes: My husband and I have been married for 3 years and recently I've been thinking about not allowing phones in the bedroom before we go to sleep at night.  Usually for the 20 or 30 minutes before we turn out, we scroll a bit and catch up on texts and things.  But I think that over time it could make for less intimacy and quality time.  I don't know how he's going to react

I saw some people discussing this on Albany Reddit today and it made me feel pretty good about our fellow brothers and sisters here in the Capital Region.  A generous and thoughtful "mystery shopper" has been leaving free food at local bus stops throughout Albany and Troy and listing the items and their whereabouts on Albany Craigslist/Free Stuff.
