Avis broadsides Gena Ettinger when it adds her to the company's Do Not Rent list. How does she get unbanned? I recently tried to rent a car from Avis in Bangor, Maine. When I arrived at the counter, a representative said I couldn't rent from the company because I was on the Do Not Rent list. The attendant couldn’t tell me why I was on the list. But I noticed that my name was misspelled twice on the reservation. The representative gave me an 800 number to call. An Avis employee recommended I s...

It took me eight years after my husband died to try a relationship, and now I am thinking maybe I should never have tried. Over a year ago I met Jay. I always felt we had the perfect relationship. We like the same things, have the same type of personality, and talk things through when there is a misunderstanding. A few days ago Jay came over, and after dinner, he said he doesn't want to see me anymore. The next day he left a phone message saying he knows we have a relationship most people spend...

I have three grown children. My elderly father, six younger brothers, and a large extended family live in the old country. The last time I took my children for a family visit was 15 years ago. The reason I have not gone back is because my youngest brother, who was 21 at the time, “fell in love” with my 13-year-old daughter. It was hell time for me because I had to watch my child 24 hours a day so my brother would leave her alone. I had no support from my parents. My mother blamed my 13-...
