My wife's cousin has two boys that are a couple of years younger than our sons. They recently fell on some hard times so my wife decided to put together a bag of kids clothes for them. Included in the bag of shirts, pants, shorts, etc was also underwear! I thought that was absolutely disgusting. Yes, I understand that they've been washed and disinfected but I feel like underwear is where you should draw the line with and-me-downs. My wife says I'm overreacting and that the underwear is in good condition and the boys can use it. What do you think? Disgusting and gross, or just one more piece of clothing to help out. Thanks so much.John PaulWell, for me personally, I would not want someone's hand-me-down underwear, nor would I give them...

“My partner says he’s a self-made player,” a club member told me. “He says he has never read a bridge book. He relies on intuition.”My friend said his partner’s seat-of-the-pants style didn’t work when he was today’s declarer. At 3NT, he took the queen of spades and led a club to finesse with dummy’s queen.“East took the king and returned a spade,” I was told. “My partner won, took the ace of clubs and led a third club. East got the jack and nine, and when hearts broke badly, partner took only eight tricks. What do you think of my `self-made’ partner?”“I would have to say he’s a product of unskilled labor,” I shrugged.BEST CHANCECorrectly handling single suit combinations is a learned skill for most players. South’s best chance for a second club trick is to take the ace and lead low toward his ten.As the cards lie, he wins two club tricks easily. If West had the jack, South wo...
